bcdata 0.5.1

• Fix bugs where bcdc_search_facets(), bcdc_list_group_records() and
  bcdc_list_organization_records() were not returning all records after
  the upgrade to CKAN 2.9 (#353). Includes adding tests and bcdata-specific
  options for these queries, see bcdc_options().
• Added examples of partial query using %like% and %in% in
  bcdc_query_geodata() (#356, thanks @bevingtona).

bcdata 0.5.0

• Make functions more robust to non-functioning WMS/WFS GetCapabilities requests
  (#339, #341).
• dbplyr 2.5.0 has made the requirement for using !! or local() for local
  functions more restrictive; updated tests and examples (#341).
• Deprecate the bcdata.single_download_limit option, as it was mostly
  redundant with bcdata.chunk_limit, and should always be set by the server.
  Please set the page size limit for paginated requests via the
  bcdata.chunk_limit option (#332).
• Updated internals to adapt to changes in B.C. Data Catalogue (#342, #343).

bcdata 0.4.1

• Add jsonlite::read_json() as a file read method, so users can now download & read json resources in B.C. Data Catalogue records
• Change the download_audience default from Public to NULL in bcdc_search() (#315)
• Fix bug where some/all facet values in bcdc_search() need to be quoted to generate a valid API query (#315)
• Add new functions bcdc_list_organizations and bcdc_list_organization_records as helper functions for finding records #322

bcdata 0.4.0

User-facing changes

• For WFS queries constructed using bcdc_query_geodata(), function calls in filter() that need to be evaluated locally are no-longer auto-detected. They now need to be wrapped in local() to force local evaluation before the CQL query is constructed and sent to the WFS server. Please see vignette("local-filter") for more information. This aligns with recommended usage patterns in other dbplyr backends (#304, PR #305).

bcdata v0.3.2

• Fixed a test that was failing when no internet was available
• Upgraded to dbplyr edition 2, bumped dependency to 2.0.0 (#300)

bcdata 0.3.1

• Added bcdc_get_citation to generate bibliographic entries (via utils::bibentry) for individuals records. #273
• Results from bcdc_search() (objects of class "bcdc_recordlist") now print 50 records by default, instead of 10. In addition, there is a new [ method for "bcdc_recordlist" objects, allowing you to subset these lists and still have a nice printout (#288).
• Ensure that bcdc_get_data() fails informatively when a given resource doesn't exist in a record (#290)
• Ensure compatibility with upcoming dbplyr 2.2.0 (#297, 82b9def)

bcdata 0.3.0

• The BC Data Catalogue and its API have been updated, requiring changes to the bcdata package, most of which are internal only (#283). These should be mostly invisible to the user, except for the removal of the type search facet in bcdc_search() and bcdc_search_facets(). If you use an API key (authorized catalogue editors only), you will need to login to the new catalogue and get your updated key and set the value your BCDC_KEY environment variable to the new key.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Add names method for bcdc.promise objects. You can now call names on an object produced by bcdc_query_geodata. This is handy when trying to figure out exact column spelling etc. #278

BUG FIXES

• Fix bug where sticky column were incorrectly identified in bcdc_describe_feature (#279)

bcdata 0.2.4

• Code in .onLoad() that sent a request to the wfs getCapabilities endpoint could cause the package to fail to load. This was moved into an internal function bcdc_get_capabilities() that makes the request the first time it's required, and stores the result for the remainder of the session (#271)
• testthat is now used conditionally to only run tests if the testthat package is installed.

bcdata 0.2.3

IMPROVEMENTS

• Setting the bcdata.single_download_limit limit dynamically from the getCapabilities endpoint. #256
• bcdc_describe_feature now joins an object description column to the returned object to provide more information about a field directly in R. #241, #259
• Better documentation and information surrounding the bcdata.max_geom_pred_size option. #243, #258
• Add new function bcdc_check_geom_size so users can check prior to submitting a WFS request with filter to see
  if the request will require a bounding box conversion. #243, #258
• Better documentation and messaging about when and why paginated requests are required by bcdc_query_geodata(). #240, #264
• Better documentation and print method for what records are suitable for use with bcdc_query_geodata(). #265, #267

bcdata 0.2.2

IMPROVEMENTS

• Added bcdc_list_groups and bcdc_list_group_records to provide the ability to query on the group endpoint of the catalogue API. #234
• Added new option bcdata.single_download_limit to enable setting the maximum number of records an object can be before forcing a paginated download (#252)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed bug in collect.bcdc_promise where the wrong parameter name in crul::Paginator$new() resulted in an error in paginated wfs requests (#250, thanks @meztez)
• Fixed a bug where the name of bcdata.chunk_limit option had a typo, so that it was not actually used properly (#252)
