rinat 0.1.9

CRAN release: 2022-06-14

New features

• New annotation argument in get_inat_obs() to filter by annotation, e.g. by life stage, sex or phenology. See the available annotations. (#53)
• New vignette demonstrating processing and visualising data for species distribution: vignette("species-distribution")

Others

• Fix test that would error because of reaching the observation limit
• Use .Rmd.orig technique to avoid issues when CRAN tests vignette code

rinat 0.1.8

CRAN release: 2021-03-08

• Properly cater for mismatch in project observation numbers to stay on CRAN (attempt in previous version did not cover all cases)
• Improve console messages in get_inat_obs_project()
• Skip tests that use the iNaturalist API on CRAN
• Don’t error when iNaturalist or Internet is not available, as per CRAN Repository Policies (#49)

rinat 0.1.7

CRAN release: 2021-02-19

• Cater for a corner case in which a mismatch between a project’s reported number of observations and the actual number of observations returned produced an error when merging data frames in get_inat_obs_project()

rinat 0.1.6

CRAN release: 2020-10-14

• New maintainer: Stéphane Guillou (@stragu)
• Improve documentation
• Clean up code according to CRAN feedback
• Note that 0.1.x versions of rinat will only fix existing issues, before a move to the new iNaturalist API with version 0.2 (which is likely to introduce breaking changes).

New features

• get_inat_obs() can now use objects of class Spatial or sf as a bounding box (#38, @Martin-Jung and #40, @LDalby; fixes #30)
• Allow the use of an iNat place_id when searching for observations (commit 1d7f14f, @LDalby)

Bug fixes

• Lower result number limit when bounding box present (#20)
• Fix result pagination in get_obs_project() for cases when the number of results is a multiple of 100 (#1, @vijaybarve)
• Stop get_inat_obs() if no search parameter(s) provided (#32, @LDalby)
• Avoid API error by limiting search results to 10000 (#32, @LDalby)
• Fix argument name in inat_handle() (#32, @LDalby)
• Use JSON endpoint instead of CSV to avoid get_inat_obs_project() failing on some projects (#35, @LDalby and #38, @Martin-Jung; fixes #28 and #37)
• Fix code according to devtools::check() feedback in preparation for CRAN release

rinat 0.1.5

CRAN release: 2017-03-10

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug where an error occurred when >20K records were requested and code now throws a warning to not hammer the API
• Fixed warning thrown when building vignettes on Linux systems
• Fixed bug where example code parameter names were different than actual parameter names

New features

• Added NEWS file.
• Added a full suite of tests
• Added new vignette that builds with markdown and not hacky prebuilt PDF
