Changelog

frictionless (development version)

read_resource() now supports column selection via the col_select parameter from readr::read_delim(). This can vastly improve reading speed (#123).
Add readr::problems() to NAMESPACE so users don’t have to load readr to inspect parsing issues. The function is mentioned in the documentation of read_resource() (#129).
Adhere to the requirements of checklist, so that .zenodo.json can be created with checklist::update_citation().
Add Pieter Huybrechts as author. Welcome Pieter!

CRAN release: 2022-11-16

Add skip_if_offline() to selected tests and verbosely include output in vignette examples, to avoid CRAN errors caused by timeouts (#116).

CRAN release: 2022-02-16

First release on CRAN. 🎉
Files (datapackage.json, resource files, schemas) can now be read from (s)ftp:// URLs (#102).
Package website is now served from https://docs.ropensci.org/frictionless/.

add_resource() now sets format, mediatype and encoding for added CSV file(s) (#78).
add_resource() now supports adding schema via path or URL.
write_package() now supports added data to be gzip compressed before being written to disk (#98).
read_resource() will now warn rather than error on unknown encoding (#86).
package objects no longer have or require the custom attribute resource_names, use new function resources() instead (#97).
package objects no longer have or require the custom attribute datapackage, making it easier to edit them as lists (with e.g. append()).

add_resource() now supports adding CSV file(s) directly as a resource. This skips reading/handling by R and gives users control over path (#74).
CSV files in a remotely read package (like example_package) are now downloaded when writing with write_package(), rather than being skipped. This is more consistent with locally read packages. The behaviour for resources with a path containing URLs (only) and resources with data remains the same (no files are written). The write behaviour is better explained in the documentation (#77).
write_package() now silently returns the output rather than input package.
create_package() will set "profile" = "tabular-data-package" since packages created by frictionless meet those requirements (#81).
create_schema() interprets empty columns as string not boolean (#79).
read_package() can now read from a datapackage.yaml file.
read_resource() now accepts YAML Table Schemas and CSV dialects.
add_resource()/create_schema()’s df parameter is renamed to data.
example_package’s observations resource now has URLs as path to serve as an example for that.
