Changelog • lipdR

a handful of improvements and error handling
new option for readLipd(): dont.load.ensemble(). This option doesn’t load in ensemble data, but stores them in a temporary directory. If when that object is then written back out using writeLipd(), if that temporary directory still exists it will add the ensemble data back in.

readLipd() now optionally can be parallelized.

Upgraded csv loading to use data.table::fread instead of readr::read_csv. This is much faster and avoids a version check.

Fixed the bug that made lipdTSSummary() fail if no age columns were present

Fixed a bug with readLipd() with multiple file paths as inputs

Fix the issue where readLipd() sometimes fails when getting version information from lipdverse

make readLipd() give an error if a local file doesn’t exist.

Make readLipd() fail better when downloading from lipdverse or other urls

Brought queryLipdverse(), neotoma conversion and changelogging files into the main branch.

Fixed bug to load a vector of local files

repaired bug in query table update

package now loads with a more compact query table to reduce loading time
the full query table is added to your local version with update_queryTable()
future updates to the query table are checked for with each subsequent user query

new summary() and print() functions allow for a quick look at LiPDs in all formats
a new vignette demonstrates these new functions
a new function, queryLipdverse(), allows for searching all of LiPDverse with many filter arguments
readLipd() now allows for input as a vector of dataset IDs
readLipd() and queryLipdverse() can be combined to download a target set of LiPDs
a second new vignette showcases the query functionality

Fixed bug introduced in 0.3.4 that prevented proper conversion of old LiPD versions

new function removeEnsembles() that will strip all ensembles from a LiPD object for portability
readLipd() now allows a vector of paths as input, to create a multiLipd from mulitple directories
Progress bar for writeLipd()

Make lipdR read/write files without changing the working directory.
Improve messages during reading, including parsing and error warnings

Added a createColumn() function

Fix metadata mismatch error in getPaleoDataNeotoma2(). Thanks to Sarah Ivory for the bug report.

Can now read/write json objects in pure jsonld

Implement S3 classes into lipdR

readr 2.0.0 is dramatically slowing down readLipd(), for now, I’ve added an option to use the earlier version. See details here: https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2021/07/readr-2-0-0/.

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
