lehdr 1.2.1

• grab_lodes() now accepts year = 2023 for LODES8, following the Census Bureau’s release of 2023 LODES data. LODES8 now covers 2002-2023 (#46).
• Documentation for the LODES8 year range is updated in grab_lodes() and its Rd file.
• Added a regression test that downloads 2023 LODES8 WAC data for Massachusetts and checks the total against the published file. Thanks to @stevenpandrews for the test (#46).
• Tests for out-of-range years now use fixed years (2001 and 2099) so they do not need editing when new LODES years are released. Tests now cover both the lower and upper bounds for LODES8.
• Examples that download data from the Census Bureau server are now wrapped in \dontrun{} so that R CMD check does not depend on network availability.
• The R-CMD-check workflow no longer fails when the R-devel job on Ubuntu stalls, and installed vignette figures no longer trigger an inst/doc NOTE.
• License and citation years are updated to 2026.

lehdr 1.2.0

• Input validation for state, year, use_cache, and state_part is stricter and error messages are consistent (rlang::abort()).
• Download logic shared across LODES file types is consolidated into an internal helper.
• grab_crosswalk() gains a version argument.
• Cached files now include the LODES version in the file name (for example, lodes8_md_wac_S000_JT00_2019.csv.gz). Older cached files are not matched and can be deleted.
• New analytical functions: compute_commute_stats() (self-containment and net flow), compute_lodes_change() (longitudinal change), and compute_earnings_share() (earnings tier distribution).
• The Getting Started vignette is expanded to cover the new functions, with an example of a job accessibility index.
