rbiodatacr 0.1.2 (2026-07-22)

• Resubmission to CRAN; no functional changes from the previous version. Version bumped from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 to resolve a CRAN incoming check conflict (insufficient version increment).

rbiodatacr 0.1.1 (2026-05-05)

• Fixed graceful failure when the BIODATACR API is unavailable or returns a non-200 HTTP status. Functions now return an empty tibble or NA_integer_ with an informative message instead of throwing an error, in compliance with CRAN policy on internet resources.
• Fixed bdcr_occurrences() (and bdcr_occurrences_batch()) silently truncating results at 100 records regardless of how many were actually available. Both functions now paginate correctly to retrieve the requested number of records (or all of them, with rows = Inf), and report the taxon's true total when the download is capped below it.
• Fixed bdcr_occurrences_batch() progress messages repeating the last taxon's name and status for every step instead of showing each taxon correctly.

rbiodatacr 0.1.0 (2026-04-29)

• First release on CRAN.
• bdcr_count(): count available records for a taxon.
• bdcr_count_batch(): count records for multiple taxa.
• bdcr_occurrences(): download occurrence records for a taxon.
• bdcr_occurrences_batch(): download occurrence records for multiple taxa.
• bdcr_species_search(): search taxonomic information in the BIE index.
• bdcr_quality_check(): evaluate record quality and assign flags.
