rvertnet v0.4.0

NEW FEATURES

• New set of functions to make working with VertNet data dumps
  easier. dump_links() gives you links to various data dump
  resources; dump_init() initialized a SQLite database connection;
  dump_tbl() creates a dplyr::tbl object, which can then be used
  in a dplyr query. This setup requires that the user manually
  download data dumps uncompress, and load into SQLite. We hope to
  make this process easier in the future. (#36)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Fixes to vertmap() for new ggplot2 version (#43)
• Added note to docs for bigsearch() for how to read in data
  after obtaining the data (#44)

BUG FIXES

• Fix to the searchbyterm() function. When the parameter stateprovince
  was used, lead to error, as that param requires different handling than
  other params. (#45)

rvertnet v0.3.4

NEW FEATURES

• New function vert_id() to get occurrence records by occurenceid,
  that is, single occurrence ids. (#40)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Explicitly import non-base R functions (#39)

BUG FIXES

• Lowercase occurenceID to occurrenceid to simplify life (#41)

rvertnet 0.3.0

NEW FEATURES

• searchbyterm() and bigsearch() have some parameters that accept multiple values.
  Fixed to allow this (#37)
• Internals of searchbyterm(), spatialsearch(), and vertsearch() reworked to
  use cursor so we internally do paging for you for bigger result sets. (#25)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Replaced data.table import with dplyr
• Using skip_on_cran() (#38)
• Minor vignette updates (#35)
• Metadata now returned in data requests (#33)

v0.2.2

Package completely reworked for the new VertNet API.

NEW FEATURES

• The functions vertavailablemaps(), vertlocations(),
  vertoccurrence(), vertoccurrencecount(), vertproviders(),
  verttaxa() are now defunct. You can call these functions, but
  they print an error message, saying they are defunct.
• Gained new functions bigsearch(), searchbyterm(),
  spatialsearch(), and vertsummary().
• Gained new author: Chris Ray

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• RJSONIO replaced with jsonlite
• Changed from CC0 to MIT license
