ripc 0.3.1 (2024-06-25)

• Fixed type_convert_silent() to parse NA strings as characters, not explicit missing values.
• Fixed ipc_get_analyses() call to properly pass country parameter to the API.

ripc 0.3.0 (2024-04-22)

• Restructured API calls so that ipc_get() is more robust by defaulting to requesting a CSV return from the API rather than JSON, allowing for simpler cleaning in all ipc_get_...() functions.
• Allow return_format to be specified as GeoJSON for ipc_get_areas(), directly loading in an sf object.
• Improved the cleaning of ipc_get_population() nested JSONs to be more robust to changes in the API.
• Set R-CMD-check GitHub Action to run weekly to check for changes to the API, since all function examples are re-run during the check.

ripc 0.2.1 (2024-03-15)

• Improved ipc_get_population() to deal with missing areas data when it is removed from the API.
• Fixed assert_start_end() so it correctly tests start and end parameters without generating an error.
• Fixed ipc_get() to initially read all numeric vectors as character in as some errors were created in nested data frames that only contained integers.
• Ensured that all ipg_get_...() functions returned properly parsed numeric columns and fixed some unnesting data frames in ipc_get_areas().

ripc 0.2.0 (2023-09-06)

• Changed anl_id column to always be analysis_id.
• Implemented optional tidy_df parameter so user can choose to receive data as returned direct from the API, and fully document cleaning in each function.
• Updated function documentation and vignettes to match the new simplified and advanced API endpoints.
• Improved date wrangling to avoid generating warnings for rows without explicit dates.
• Added examples and explicit return values for all functions.
• Added links to the IPC-CH API and GitHub repository to DESCRIPTION.
• Memoisation functionality dropped to meet CRAN requirements.
• Initial CRAN release.

ripc 0.1.7

• Adjusted create_date_columns() to avoid warnings when parsing missing values in the period_dates column.

ripc 0.1.6

• Removed HDX download functionality, and no longer depend on the rhdx package

ripc 0.1.5

• Added areas output back to ipc_get_populations() as it was added back to the IPC API

ripc 0.1.4

• Fixed ipc_get_populations() by removing calculations for the areas data frame which was removed from the API

ripc 0.1.3

• ipc_get_icons() and ipc_get_populations() changed so all date columns converted from character to date explicitly.

ripc 0.1.2

• ipc_get_analyses() and ipc_get_country() changed to use anl_id.
• ipc_get() memoised to avoid repeated calls to the API. Now all ipc_get_...() functions are cached in a session.

ripc 0.1.1

• ipc_get_population() was fixed so renaming worked correctly
• Update GitHub README and documentation.

ripc 0.1.0

• IPC API functionality implemented.
• HDX download functionality deprecated.

ripc 0.0.1
