rnpn (development version)

  • nnpn no longer depends on the sp or raster packages
  • terra is now a suggested dependency and users will be prompted to install it only when it is needed
  • npn_get_point_data() now uses https instead of http
  • npn_get_layer_details() now returns a tibble instead of a data frame
  • rnpn now requires the xml2 package instead of XML
  • npn_phenophase_details() now takes a vector of phenophase IDs rather than a list
  • Functions that previously returned data.frame objects now return tibbles. Where they previously returned NULL on errors, they now return empty 0x0 tibbles.
  • npn_get_phenophases_for_taxon() now returns a tibble rather than a list.
  • Documented a behavior of npn_species_type() where setting kingdom to NULL returns results for both Plantae and Animalia.
  • Missing values returned by npn_stations_by_state() previously returned as the string "emptyvalue" are now returned as NAs.
  • rnpn now has dplyr as a dependency instead of plyr
  • rnpn now uses httr2 instead of httr internally for functions that get observational data
  • ... is no longer used for functions that get observational data
