climaemet 1.6.0

• Documentation, user-facing messages, and internal code were reviewed and refactored with AI assistance to improve consistency, maintainability, wording and roxygen2 tag ordering.
• Tests now rely less on live AEMET API calls and cover additional forecast-parsing branches using local fixtures.
• Requests now use a configurable timeout via options(climaemet_timeout = 60).
• aemet_api_key() now uses tools::R_user_dir() for persistent API key storage. Existing users are migrated automatically to the new location, ensuring backward compatibility.
• aemet_forecast_fires() has been updated to support the new API, which now returns six risk levels. Risk values are returned as named factors instead of numeric level codes.

climaemet 1.5.1

• Migrate vignettes to Quarto.

climaemet 1.5.0

• Adapt ggplot2 >= 3.5.0 deprecations.
• Messages, warnings and errors are now more informative thanks to cli.
• Performance improvements: climaemet now uses httr2::req_throttle() to manage API calls. The rate is strictly limited to the AEMET API policy: no more than 40 connections per minute per API key.
• The minimum R version is now >= 4.1.0.
• Update docs and tests.

climaemet 1.4.2

• Adapt functions to new response codes (#74).
• ?aemet_munic updated to January 2025.
• ggwindrose() now uses ggplot2::coord_radial() instead of ggplot2::coord_polar() and gains the stack_reverse argument to change the order of the stacks on each petal (see #72).
• The minimum required ggplot2 version is now >= 3.5.0 because ggwindrose() now uses ggplot2::coord_radial().

climaemet 1.4.1

• The API key with the highest remaining quota is now selected when performing a call. In prior versions, the API key was chosen randomly. This is expected to reduce API throttling.
• Use CRAN DOI: 10.32614/CRAN.package.climaemet.
• aemet_forecast_fires() now uses terra::combineLevels() (terra >= 1.8-10).

climaemet 1.4.0

• Increase timeout limit with httr2::req_timeout().
• Manage invalid, duplicated and empty API keys more clearly.
• New package added to Suggests: terra.
• aemet_alert_zones() obtains the zoning defined by AEMET for the alerts.
• aemet_alerts() gets current meteorological alerts issued by AEMET.
• aemet_forecast_fires() gets a SpatRaster with the forecast wildfire risk level.

climaemet 1.3.0

• It is possible to use several API keys to avoid API throttling. See ?climaemet::aemet_api_key (#53).
• Migrate from httr to httr2 (#50).
• New helper function dms2decdegrees_2().
• New package in Suggests: mapSpain.
• Progress bars are used in downloads thanks to cli. Most functions gain a new progress = TRUE argument.
• Update ?aemet_munic with January 2024 data.
• aemet_beaches() and aemet_forecast_beaches() are new functions for beaches (#54).

climaemet 1.2.1

• aemet_monthly_period(extract_metadata = TRUE) now honors the start and end arguments.
• Update docs.

climaemet 1.2.0

• Metadata can now be extracted from each API call using the extract_metadata = TRUE argument (#40).
• The aemet_stations() result is cached temporarily in tempdir(), avoiding unnecessary API calls.
• The API call system has improved to avoid API throttling.

climaemet 1.1.1

• Fix an error in the conversion to sf objects.
• Improve documentation.

climaemet 1.1.0

• Add lubridate to Suggests.
• Add scales to Suggests.
• Add ?aemet_munic dataset.
• Add new vignette: vignette("extending-climaemet").
• Fix error on ggclimat_walter_lieth() (#35).
• Improve get_data_aemet() and get_metadata_aemet() to support more endpoints.
• aemet_forecast_daily(), aemet_forecast_tidy(), aemet_forecast_hourly() and aemet_forecast_vars_available() are new forecast functions.

climaemet 1.0.2

• Fix docs as requested by CRAN.

climaemet 1.0.1

• Add new citation.
• Adapt some examples.
• No more messages when loading the library.
• Remove lubridate dependency.

climaemet 1.0.0

• Package added to rOpenSpain project: repo transferred to https://github.com/rOpenSpain/climaemet.

Breaking changes

• The apikey argument has been deprecated in all functions. The API key is now globally managed via an environment variable. See aemet_api_key().

Major changes

• API functions gain new arguments, such as verbose, to check results.
• Results are now provided in tibble format.
• Results are parsed into the correct formats when possible, including numbers and dates.
• Spatial support: New option return_sf returns sf objects instead of tibble objects. sf (>= 0.9) is listed in Suggests, so it is not strictly required.

Enhancements

• New example datasets: ?climaemet_9434_climatogram, ?climaemet_9434_temp and ?climaemet_9434_wind.
• Plot functions gain new arguments (verbose and ...). Colors can now be passed to the plotting functions.
• aemet_daily_clim() is now vectorized and can also retrieve all stations with station = "all".
• aemet_last_obs() is now vectorized and can also retrieve all stations with station = "all".
• get_metadata_aemet() is a new function.
• ggclimat_walter_lieth() is a new function. It is now the default for climatogram_* functions (experimental). Old behavior can be reproduced with option ggplot2 = FALSE.

Internal changes

• Code optimization.
• Dependencies have been reviewed.
• Palettes are now generated with base::hcl.colors() (base R).

climaemet 0.2.0

• climatogram_normal() is a new function to plot a Walter & Lieth climatic diagram from normal climatology values.
• climatogram_period() is a new function to plot a Walter & Lieth climatic diagram for a specified time period.
• ggstripes_station() has been renamed to climatestripes_station().
• ggwindrose() is a new function to plot a windrose diagram.
• windrose_days() is a new function to plot a windrose (speed/direction) diagram of a station over days.
• windrose_period() is a new function to plot a windrose (speed/direction) diagram of a station over a time period.

climaemet 0.1.0

• First release, July 2020.
