MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

worrms 0.3.2

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• add link to taxize book in vignette and README (#12)

BUG FIXES

• fix bug in test regarding date (#19)

worrms 0.3.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• fix to most functions throughout the package (those that have two versions, with and without an underscore): underscore versions of functions now do not error when an input is not found, but instead warn the user and move on - to facilitate working with many inputs. the non-underscore version of each function still only accepts 1 input and errors if you give more than 1 (#14) (#18)

BUG FIXES

• make sure that functions that accept only 1 input for the first parameter error well with an informative message (#15)

worrms 0.2.8

NEW FEATURES

• Integration with vcr and webmockr packages for unit test stubbing
• gains new functions for getting WORMS traits data (they call them "attributes"): wm_attr_aphia, wm_attr_aphia_, wm_attr_category, wm_attr_category_, wm_attr_data, wm_attr_data_, wm_attr_def, wm_attr_def_ (#3)

worrms 0.2.0

NEW FEATURES

• Added additional sister functions to most exported functions in the package, all with trailing underscore. For example, wm_children and wm_children_. These underscore methods take in many inputs, typically of a AphiaID or a taxonomic or vernacular name. We decided to make separate functions so that we minimize any disturbance to the existing package API. (#4) (#6)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Moved to using markdown docs (#5)
• All functions now state what they return (#9)

worrms 0.1.0

NEW FEATURES

• Released to CRAN.
