BFS 0.5.12

• improve bfs_get_base_maps() with new return_sf argument, which allows to return all file path available (see README).
• improve README related to bfs_get_base_maps()

BFS 0.5.11

• BREAKING CHANGE: column orderNr returned by bfs_get_catalog() renamed as number_bfs for more clarity. Unnecessary new variables also removed in profit of the return_raw argument.
• add return_raw in bfs_get_catalog() and bfs_get_tables(), which returns all metadata in an raw / unstructured tibble.
• update to last available BFS geodata asset imported using bfs_get_base_maps()
  • https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/catalogues-databases.assetdetail.30606132.html
• Use new swissMunicipalities R package to ease geodata analysis

BFS 0.5.10

• fix bug in metadata extraction in bfs_get_catalog(), bfs_get_catalog_data() and bfs_get_catalog_tables()

BFS 0.5.9

• fix bfs_get_catalog(), bfs_get_catalog_data() and bfs_get_catalog_tables()

BFS 0.5.8

• All functions return NULL if no internet connection.
• Tests skipped if no internet connection.

BFS 0.5.6

• add “delay” argument in bfs_get_data() and bfs_get_data_comments()
  • using Sys.sleep() of 10 seconds to avoid reaching API limits
  • the “delay” arg allows to loop on large datasets, for example see #7
• BREAKING CHANGE: remove “bfs_url” argument in bfs_get_data() and bfs_get_data_comments()
  • “bfs_url” argument unstable and slow. See README for recommended workflow using bfs_get_catalog_data() and bfs_get_asset_metadata()
• add deprecation warning for bfs_get_catalog()
• add more tests
• add test coverage

BFS 0.5.5

• fix encoding bug in bfs_get_base_maps() #12
• add fs R package dependency
• add unit tests
• remove unnecessary messages when calling bfs_get_catalog_*()
• use tools instead of rappdirs
• improve docs related to query dimensions

BFS 0.5.4

• using only magrittr pipe to allow older R versions, fix #11

BFS 0.5.3

• add bfs_get_base_maps().
• add data from the Swiss official commune register.
• update README.

BFS 0.5.2

• BREAKING CHANGE: bfs_get_catalog_data() and bfs_get_catalog_tables() return now in the dataframe “number_asset” instead of “guid” as variables.
• add bfs_download_asset()
• add bfs_get_asset_metadata()
• “number_bfs” as first argument in bfs_get_metadata()
• improve docs

BFS 0.5.1

• BREAKING CHANGE: fix BFS version 0.5 broke bfs_get_data(). Fix now #10 by removing “all” default argument to query.

BFS 0.5

• fix bug #10
• add bfs_get_catalog_geodata()
• add bfs_download_geodata()
• improve docs

BFS 0.4.8

• BREAKING CHANGE: reorder arguments in functions for consistency
• bfs_get_catalog_tables() now gets full catalog, fixing #5
• bfs_get_catalog_tables() has new functions to filter datasets directly
• use “httr2” instead of “jsonlite” for better console messages
• improve README, docs and sticker.

BFS 0.4.7

• add new function bfs_get_metadata()
• fix bug duplicated column names with as_tibble(. .name_repair = "minimal")

BFS 0.4.5

• Fix bug in bfs_get_data_comments() #8.
• improve README by adding info about dependencies.

BFS 0.4.4

• Fix bug using query argument in bfs_get_data()
• remove depreciated function bfs_get_metadata() and bfs_get_dataset()

BFS 0.4.3

• Fixed bfs_get_catalog_data() and bfs_get_catalog_tables() bug #6.
• tidyRSS GitHub dependency version is 2.0.5.
• Add tests for bfs_get_catalog_* functions.

BFS 0.4.2

• Fixed bfs_get_catalog_data() and bfs_get_catalog_tables() bug #6.

• add bfs_get_catalog().
• pxweb and jsonlite dependency added. dplyr dependency removed.

BFS 0.3.1
