CRAN Re-submission - Maintenance release addressing archival issues
Made station count tests more flexible to accommodate natural changes in weather station networks over time, using ranges instead of exact counts.
Fixed compatibility with crul 1.6.0 by updating
minimum vcr requirement to 2.0.0, resolving VCR cassette
testing issues caused by deprecated mock()
function.
URL updates following DPIRD IT system migration:
api.agric.wa.gov.auagric.wa.gov.au/apis/api-terms-and-conditions to
dpird.wa.gov.au/online-tools/apis/api-terms-and-conditions/
and agric.wa.gov.au/form/dpird-api-registration to
dpird.wa.gov.au/forms/dpird-api-registration/pulseaus.com.au/about/australian-pulse-industry to
grainsaustralia.com.auAddressed CRAN request to “remove the single quotes around every term in the description that is not a package/software/API name” and removed examples for unexported functions.
Addressed CRAN URL check issues by updating all redirected links to their new working locations.
Updated all man pages with corrected URLs; Fixed all broken links in README and vignettes.
Added @importFrom curl directives for all curl
functions used in the package to resolve import warnings.
Flexible station count testing: Made tests more resilient by using ranges instead of exact station counts.

station and BOM Radar imagery availabilityget_stations_metadata() fails to fetch data with
invalid API key but provided unhelpful error.
Added check to query_dpird_api() when using an
invalid DPIRD API key (Issue
94).
Functions get_ag_bulletin() and
parse_ag_bulletin() have been defunct because the
underlying BOM agricultural bulletin service is no longer available.
This removal constitutes a breaking change; please update your code
accordingly.
Documentation has been updated to reflect the removal of the
get_ag_bulletin() and parse_ag_bulletin()
functions.
Tests for the get_ag_bulletin() and
parse_ag_bulletin() functions now errors given that the
functions are now defunct.
Fixes Issue 90 with
the get_dpird_summaries() function where tests had fixed
dates and errors were generated. The tests
test-get_dpird_summaries.R have been updated to use
previous year from the current date and the tests now pass.
Fixes other bugs with the find_stations_in() and
function where the function would not return the correct number of
stations, given recent adjustments to the weather station
infrastructure.
Re-documented package to reflect changes
Updated test vcr cassette/fixtures
Updated BOM-related vignette
Updated WORDLIST for spelling checks
Provides useful feedback when users provide a NULL
API key value.
Fixes Issue 82
where Average wind speed data extracted using
get_dpird_summaries() is ranked from lowest to highest and
does not match the observation recorded at that time from DPIRD
summaries, thanks to @alycest.
Fixes Issue 83
where average wind direction data extracted using
get_dpird_summaries() do not match the observation average
wind direction recorded at that time in DPIRD summaries, thanks to @alycest.
Fixes an error in documentation about the number of types of
objects accepted by find_stations_in().
Fixes a typo
in the README that provided incorrect arguments for
get_key(), thanks to @johnbaums.
Addressed comments after initial CRAN submission (reduce file size and update links to packages/function in the documentation).
Published manuscript describing package in the Journal of Open Source Software
Package was peer reviewed.
Changes the name of the function
get_station_metadata() to
get_stations_metadata() to avoid clashes with
{stationaRy}.
Adds new functionality, find_stations_in() to assist
in finding stations in a bounding box or geospatial polygon.
Allows user to pass along a factor as the
station_code when requesting weather data. This allows for
the use of the metadata returned from
get_stations_metadata() to be used directly in queries
without changing the class of the station_code column from
factor to character.
Added functionality to get_station_metadata() so that it returns the metadata for only one station if required, commit.
Several enhanced checks for user inputs to ensure that valid requests are made before sending the API queries are now in place.
find_nearby_stations()
Fixes bug where
find_forecast_towns() returned all values, not the proper
values.
Fixes bug where BOM and SILO metadata were not properly merged
when using find_nearby_stations()
Fixes bug where
closed stations are included in the nearest stations when using
find_nearby_stations() and
include_closed = FALSE (default).
Fixes the messages when stations aren’t found nearby. In certain
cases the message indicated that a station_code was used
when latitude and longitude had been provided
and vice versa.
Fixes bug when there are no stations that meet the criteria set by the user and an error was emitted that “x” must be a {data.table} object. The function now simply errors if there are no stations from either API that meet the criteria.
get_dpird_extremes()
Fixes example in get_dpird_extremes() that didn’t
use “your_api_key” as all other examples did for error
checking.
Fixes example for get_dpird_extremes() that didn’t
follow the package’s standard use of “your_api_key” for the
api_key value in the example.
Fixes the re-export of terra::plot() where checks
indicated that it does not have a documented return value or
examples.
Fixes a bug where the package data was not available when this
package was called by another, e.g., {extractOz} used
get_patched_point() but could not validate the user-input
values because silo_daily_values could not be
found.
Fixes bug where results from get_dpird_summaries()
were truncated to only a few of the last results requested rather than
the full set from start date to end date.
Fixes bug where the DPIRD API would not properly respond to requests from Windows OS machines.
Fixes bug where SILO Data Drill gridded data were not available with enough precision.
Fixes bug where include_closed wasn’t passed along
to the API when querying DPIRD station weather data. All queries now
included closed stations by default so that a request for a closed
station is not denied due to this not being specified, commit.
