statswalesr 1.0.0

• Migrated to StatsWales API v2 (https://api.stats.gov.wales/v2)
• Added a sort_by argument to statswales_get_dataset(), statswales_get_pivot(), and statswales_get_topic(). Accepts either a "column:direction" string or a named vector like c(Year = "desc")
• statswales_get_filters() now flattens hierarchical dimensions: the values data frame gains parent and level columns so nested values (e.g. Wales → local authorities → wards) are fully represented
• statswales_get_dataset() now uses a two-step POST + GET flow; filters use the new list(list(ColumnName = c("ref1", "ref2"))) format and human-readable column names/values are returned by default
• statswales_search() restored with full-text search across dataset titles and summaries; supports mode argument (basic, fts, fuzzy, etc.)
• statswales_get_filters() path updated to /{id}/filters
• statswales_download_dataset() now uses the POST + GET filter ID flow; format is a query parameter rather than a URL path segment
• New statswales_get_pivot() for cross-tabulated pivot views
• New statswales_create_query() to generate a reusable filter ID
• New statswales_get_query() to inspect a stored query configuration (total row count, column mappings, applied filters)
• statswales_get_dataset() results are now tidied for analysis by default: internal *_sort columns are dropped, whitespace padding is stripped, and numeric-looking columns (including data values) are converted to numeric. Set tidy = FALSE for the raw API response
• statswales_get_dataset() now returns the entire dataset by default (all_pages = TRUE); set all_pages = FALSE for single-page retrieval. The default page_size was also raised from 100 to 10000 (the API maximum), so most datasets arrive in a single request
• statswales_list_datasets() now fetches the full dataset catalogue automatically; the page_number and page_size arguments were removed
• Timestamp columns from statswales_list_datasets() and statswales_search() are now POSIXct (UTC) instead of character
• All API requests now retry transient failures (up to 3 attempts)

statswalesr 0.4.0

• Complete rewrite for the new StatsWales public API (https://api.stats.gov.wales/v1)
• Dataset IDs are now UUIDs returned by the API; old alphanumeric codes no longer apply
• New functions: statswales_list_datasets(), statswales_list_topics(), statswales_get_topic(), statswales_get_filters(), statswales_download_dataset()
• statswales_get_dataset() now calls the paginated view endpoint and returns a data frame; set all_pages = TRUE to auto-fetch all pages
• statswales_get_metadata() restored — returns full dataset metadata including revision history
• Removed all deprecated functions and their dependencies (lifecycle, rlang, curl, readr, httr)
• Replaced httr with httr2; added jsonlite as a dependency
• Requires R >= 4.1.0
