traits 0.3.0

DEFUNCT

  • Four functions are now defunct - those involving getting data on whether a species if native/invasive in a particular region. See ?traits-defunct for more information. Deprecated functions: eol_invasive_(), fe_native(), g_invasive(), is_native() (#72)

NEW FEATURES

  • Gains new function tr_ernest for a dataset of Amniote life history data (#60)
  • Gains new function tr_usda for the USDA plants database (#61)
  • Gains new function tr_zanne for a dataset of plant growth data (#73)
  • BetyDB functions gain automatic paging of large requests where API supports it, i.e. not in v0 (#94)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Change Coral database base URL to https (#99)
  • Now requiring readr > 1.0 (#76)
  • Changed ncbi_*() functions to give back NA types that match data.frame column classes to make combining easier (#96)
  • replace xml2::xml_find_one with xml2::xml_find_first throughout (#97)
  • namespace all fxn calls for base pkgs, remove from Imports (#98)
  • BetyDB cleanup (#25) (#77) (#82) (#88)

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed birdlife* functions that needed to change URL structure due to changes in the Birdlife website (#100)
  • Fixes to traitbank() (#79) (#80) thanks @dschlaep !
  • ncbi_*() fxns now use https (#95)

traits 0.2.0

DEPRECATED

  • Marked four functions as deprecated - those involving getting data on whether a species if native/invasive in a particular region. See ?traits-deprecated for more information. Deprecated functions: eol_invasive_(), fe_native(), g_invasive(), is_native() (#63)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Standardized outputs of all data - all data.frame column names should be lowercase now (#47)
  • With all httr::content() calls now explicitly setting encoding to UTF-8, and parsing to text, then manually parsing either JSON or XML later (#65)
  • Replaced XML with xml2 for XML parsing (#67)

traits 0.1.2

NEW FEATURES

  • ncbi_searcher() gains new parameter fuzzy to toggle fuzzy taxonomic ID search or exact search. (#34) (thx @mpnelsen)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Importing only functions (via importFrom) used across all imports now. In addition, importFrom for all non-base R pkgs, including methods, stats and utils packages (#36)
  • Changed the trait parameter in traitbank() function to pageid, because EOL expects a page identifier, which is associated with a taxon, not a trait. The previous parameter name was very misleading.

traits 0.1.0

NEW FEATURES

  • released to CRAN
