CatastRo 1.0.0

This major release introduces a full overhaul of the codebase and test suite. All requests now use httr2, and cached files are reorganized into topic-based subfolders for easier management.

Because of internal changes, existing caches are not compatible with this release and must be rebuilt.

We have transitioned from rappdirs::user_config_dir() to tools::R_user_dir() for managing your persistent cache directory. If you are a heavy CatastRo user and already have a cache directory in place, you’ll receive a one-time friendly message informing you about this migration. Consider it a warm welcome to CatastRo 1.0.0 😉.

The package now requires R ≥ 4.1.0, and dependency updates improve both performance and maintainability. All functions return tidy objects (tibbles or sf objects with tibble data).

Major changes

• Minimum required R version is now 4.1.0.
• Refactor code and test suite for improved stability.
• Switch API requests to httr2.
• New options (especially for macOS and Linux users):
  • On SSL errors use options(catastro_ssl_verify = 0) to disable SSL verification.
  • Query timeout can be controlled with options(catastro_timeout = 300) (Default value). Check httr2::req_timeout() for details.
• Reorganize cache into topic-based subfolders.

Note: Previous caches must be recreated.

Compatibility and performance

• Require R ≥ 4.1.0.
• Update dependencies:
  • Add: cli, lifecycle, withr.
  • Remove: png, slippymath.
• Return tidy objects consistently.
• Vignettes engine has been migrated to Quarto.
