traits 0.5.1
NEW FEATURES
- David LeBauer (@dlebauer) is now the maintainer of the traits package. Many thanks to previous maintainer Scott Chamberlain!
traits 0.5.0
DEFUNCT
tr_usda()
is defunct. The API is down for good (#122)
- all
coral_*
functions are defunct (#124)
MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
- replace httr with crul (#89)
- fix BETYdb tess (#123)
BUG FIXES
ncbi_searcher()
fix: we weren’t including the NCBI Entrez API key even when it was found (#120)
traits 0.4.2
MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
- betydb gains alias for API versions (#114)
BUG FIXES
taxa_search
: removed traitbank
option because traits::traitbank()
used internally has completely changed and it’s no longer feasible to do a straight-forward taxon search for all traits in EOL’s Traitbank (#115)
traits 0.4.0
NEW FEATURES
- New package author: Chris Black (@infotroph) (#106)
- betydb functions now can do pagination (#94)
- betydb functions gain progress parameter to optionally suppress the progress bar (#113)
- EOL Traitbank completely changed their query interface - function no longer works as it did before. for now, you have to specify your own query that’s rather complex, see docs for help. Later on we can try to simplify queries for users (#112)
MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
- table in README for different sources and clarify what traits are (#110) (#111)
- fixed link to Birdlife (#108)
BUG FIXES
- fix to
ncbi_searcher()
to prevent failures in some cases (#107) thanks @zachary-foster
- fix to
ncbi_byid()
: ten new fields added to the output (#101) (#102) thanks @boopsboops
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.
