Changes in version 2.0.7 (2025-07-28)                  

  - update roxygen / docs for CRAN

                        Changes in version 2.0.6                        

  - Improved performance of shiny_attribtues by caching calls to
    units::valid_udunits_prefixes (See
    https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/332). This should
    dramatically improve performance of the Shiny application for
    certain use cases.
  - Changed how set_taxonomicCoverage works to follow the EML schema's
    guidance on handling species names (See
    https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/328). Species named are now
    stored as-is rather than split into genus and species.
  - Extended set_taxonomicCoverage when called with expand=TRUE to
    support multiple values (See
    https://github.com/ropensci/EML/pull/329)
  - Fixed a minor typographical issue in the Working with Units vignette
    (See
    https://github.com/ropensci/EML/commit/eb1604817809d2cbea5405ed6909c0e046e31a3e)
  - Modified how set_attributes sets storageType on numeric columns so
    it will accept integer when provided by the user while still
    defaulting to float (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/324)
  - Extends get_attributes, set_attributes, and shiny_attributes to
    support attribute-level semantic annotations (See
    https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/318)
  - The test suite will now skip tests dependent on taxadb when it's not
    installed (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/320)

                 Changes in version 2.0.5 (2021-02-27)                  

  - migrate upstream namespace changes units::as.units ->
    units::as_units

                 Changes in version 2.0.4 (2020-11-10)                  

  - bugfix for CRAN testing

                 Changes in version 2.0.3 (2020-07-23)                  

  - Note recent improvements to validation have been inherited through
    the release of emld 0.5.0, package dependency now requires upgrading
    emld as well.
  - Fixed a bug in set_attributes causing an error when specifying an
    interval measurementScale. (#293)
  - Updated test suite to account for the switch from taxize to taxadb
  - Updated test suite to match recent changes in emld 0.5.0 regarding
    unit definitions (See https://github.com/ropensci/emld/issues/56)

                 Changes in version 2.0.2 (2020-02-08)                  

  - minor bugfix to documentation
  - Moves to taxadb in place of taxize for optional species
    classification
  - Note recent improvements to validation have been inherited through
    the release of emld 0.4.0, package dependency now requires upgrading
    emld as well.

                 Changes in version 2.0.1 (2019-12-09)                  

  - Improve error message for get_attributes (#286)
  - Avoid ifelse() for portability (#283)
  - Avoid edge case that can create invalid EML in set_taxonomicNames()
    (#280)
  - Add documentation regarding the use of dimensionless units (#276)
  - Avoid test errors on systems for which pandoc cannot be installed
    (#290)

                 Changes in version 2.0.0 (2019-04-23)                  

  - EML 2.0.0 is a ground-up rewrite of EML 1.x package. The primary
    difference is that EML 2.0.0 is built on S3 (list) objects instead
    of S4 object system. This makes the package interface easier to use
    and extend. Under the hood, this approach relies on the emld
    package, which uses a JSON-LD representation of EML which provides a
    natural translation into the list-based format.
    
    While most high level functions for creating EML have been
    preserved, the change to S3 means that this package will not be
    backwards-compatible with many scripts which relied on the S4
    system.

  - Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
