neotoma 1.7.7

• This represents the end-of-life update for the package. Updates some function calls and Rd file formatting.
• All new development for Neotoma in R is part of the 'neotoma2' R package at https://github.com/NeotomaDB/neotoma2

neotoma 1.7.6

• Updated the API endpoints to correctly point to the new windows API endpoint, in preparation for migration.
• Fixed the help for 'get_closest()'
• Changed character encoding for two data tables, 'pollen.equiv' and 'taxon.list', made them available in the main package using 'data()'.

neotoma 1.7.5

• Introduction of the 'sf' package into the package. Using 'sf' to buffer and transform coordinates to allow a proper buffer and bounding box to be generated to identify the *n* closest sites to a point of interest.
• Added a warning to 'plot_leaflet()' for the default response.
• Updated 'param_check()' to include new dataset types within the database.

neotoma 1.7.4 (2019-01-05)

• Bug fix: 'get_dataset(gpid=123) was returning an error, fix corrects the error to allow unassigned 'x' variables.
• Updated the allowable dataset types for searching to reflect the larger set of dataset types within Neotoma.

neotoma 1.7.3

• Added numeric/integer methods to the 'get_site()' and 'get_dataset()' functions so that a vector of dataset or siteids can be passed to improve more general workflow methods.

neotoma 1.7.2 (2018-09-26)

• Bugfixes, added the 'taxa()' function to easily extract taxa from one or multiple download objects.

neotoma 1.7.1

• Bugfix for 'compile_download()', single sample downloads were failing to compile properly.

neotoma 1.7.0 (2017-06-21)

• Added 'plot_leaflet()' to allow interactive exploration of downloaded Neotoma data. Integrates with the Neotoma Explorer.
• Minor bugfix for 'get_download' to allow records to be sent to Neotoma and to be filtered.

neotoma 1.6.2 (2016-09-22)

• Bugfix in 'get_chroncontrol()', 'read.tilia()' based on experience in extensive testing. Improved the basic 'plot' method based on tests against Tilia files in the Neotoma Holding Tank.
• Built more robust interpolation in 'read_bacon' so that age models without interpolated dates can still be imported.
• 'browse' now opens multiple datastes in the Neotoma Explorer at once.

neotoma 1.6.1 (2016-08-19)

• Bugfix
• New 'Stratiplot' method, using the 'analogue' package to plot dataset diagrams from 'download' and 'download_list' objects.
• Bug fixes for 'write_agefile'
• New function 'read_bacon' to read in and integrate Bacon chronologies into 'download' objects.

neotoma 1.6.0 (2016-07-27)

• Support for vector inputs in the 'gpid' selection.
• Added a 'get_closest' function to find the closest datasets to a sample site.
• Mostly clean-up of reported bugs by users.
• Revised examples for faster check speed.

neotoma 1.5.1 (2016-05-07)

• Fix for datasets with empty submission dates.
• Some minor (non-functional) code cleaning.
• Added extra tests.

neotoma 1.5.0 (2016-02-29)

• More extensive testing to support multiple dataset types. Water chemistry datasets still unsupported.
• Function 'read.tilia' added to read Tilia (http://tiliait.com) style XML files.
• Moved to using 'xml2', 'httr' and 'jsonlite' to support parsing.

neotoma 1.4.0 (2015-09-25)

• The few records without chronologies were causing errors when 'get_download' was applied.
• Added plot method.

neotoma 1.3.3 (2015-08-22)

• Critical bug fix: 'get_download' now correctly assigns the default chronology to 'sample.meta'. All other chronologies (including the default) are stored in the 'chronologies' list for the 'download'.
• Bugfix for issue #187, empty 'dataset_list's now return a NULL value, rather than breaking the 'print' method.

neotoma 1.3.2 (2015-07-15)

• Bugfix for 'get_download', assignment to the 'dataset.id' was incorrectly placed causing the columns to be out of place relative to the data.

neotoma 1.3.1 (2015-07-14)

• Bugfix for 'write_agefile'
• Added a 'browse' method for datasets, that will open a browser window for a specific dataset or download.
• The deprecated 'compile_list' function has now been removed. Use 'compile_taxa' instead.

neotoma 1.3.0 (2015-05-29)

• Improved functionality of get_chroncontrol to allow it to deal with empty tables and work directly with download and download_list objects.

neotoma 1.2-0 (2015-05-03)

• Added new datasettypes for records, including water chemistry, charcoal, XRD and others.

neotoma 1.1-0

• Publication of Goring, S., Dawson, A., Simpson, G. L., Ram, K., Graham, R. W., Grimm, E. C., & Williams, J. W.. (2015). neotoma: A Programmatic Interface to the Neotoma Paleoecological Database, 1(1), Art. 2. DOI: http://doi.org/10.5334/oq.ab

neotoma 0.1

• continued development of API implementation and working toward a common standard for data output.
• Continued development of tests for the package.
• Changed function names to singular.
