Changes in version 0.1.0 (2026-07-23)                  

New package

  - Initial CRAN release of locatr, an audit-ready workflow layer on top
    of tidygeocoder for cleaning, geocoding, validating, reviewing, and
    exporting messy location data.

Geocoding and review

  - Added address cleaning with optional ID, ZIP, and record-name
    fields.
  - Added bad-address flagging for PO boxes, placeholder addresses,
    missing required fields, test records, and missing ZIP codes.
  - Added a staged geocoding cascade with reference backfill, Census
    structured geocoding, ArcGIS fallback, and ArcGIS name lookup.
  - Added bounding-box and polygon validation so out-of-region
    coordinates are rejected rather than silently accepted.
  - Added match-confidence scoring and plain-language confidence
    reasons.
  - Added single-address candidate lookup with score filtering, location
    context, and optional geography enrichment.
  - Added manual review export, manual override application, and a
    map-based review workflow for accepting, rejecting, or relocating
    coordinates.

Reproducibility and audit trail

  - Added locatr_cache() with in-memory and persistent
    RDS/Parquet-backed response caches.
  - Added cache inspection and clearing helpers.
  - Added run provenance manifests, per-row placement/cache stamps, and
    geocode_provenance().
  - Added geocode_report() for methods text, status counts, cache
    summaries, and confidence summaries.

Geography and export

  - Added helpers to build Census TIGER/Line geography and attach
    county, municipality, tract, block group, ZCTA, legislative
    district, congressional district, and school district identifiers to
    geocoded records.
  - Added spatial and attribute-key joins for user-supplied boundary
    layers.
  - Added field-conflict flags for ZIP/state and geocoded-vs-stated
    county mismatches.
  - Added reusable location crosswalk export for downstream dashboards
    and GIS workflows.

Apps and documentation

  - Added a bundled Shiny app for upload, geocoding, geography
    attachment, download, provenance review, and audit-report export.
  - Added a bundled map-based review Shiny app backed by testable
    override-table generation.
  - Added Hugging Face Space and Posit Connect Cloud deployment
    scaffolding.
  - Added pkgdown reference organization, README workflows, and a
    getting-started vignette.
