In rywhale/kiwisR: A Wrapper for Querying KISTERS 'WISKI' Databases via the 'KiWIS' API

kiwisR 0.2.1

MINOR CHANGES

• All queries now have an optional argument datasource to allow for cases where multiple KiWIS end points are available. See your KiWIS documentation for more information on this parameter (#21)

kiwisR 0.1.9

MINOR CHANGES

• Fixed issues related to exp_live
• Added CONTRIBUTING (#11)
• Cleaned up README for readability

kiwisR 0.1.8

MINOR CHANGES

• Replaced instances of if(class(x, "foo")) with inherits(x, "foo") (#11)
• ki_timeseries_values now returns two more columns: ts_id and station_id (#10)

kiwisR 0.1.7

MINOR CHANGES

• All examples are now wrapped in \dontrun{} to avoid failing when a specific KiWIS server used for testing goes down (#7)
• Improvements to exp_live utility function should avoid tests failing when server is unreachable (#7)
• Removed hard-coded reference to station_name column in ki_station_list (#8)
• Minor tweaks to tests for ki_timeseries_list to hopefully lower time required for testing
• Note: CRAN staff on vaycay until 08/18/2019. Waiting to submit.

kiwisR 0.1.6

BREAKING CHANGES

• Rework of ki_timeseries_values to better conform to tidy principles (#6)

• Now returns a tibble with the column format

  |Timestamp | Value | ts_name | Units | station_name | |-------------------| ----- | ------- | ----- | ------------ | |2019-05-01 00:00:00| 12.0 | LVL.1.O | m | Station_1 | |2019-05-02 00:00:00| 12.1 | LVL.1.O | m | Station_1 |

• This makes querying data for multiple ts_ids/stations much more convienient

• May break existing code that referenced parameter value column by name (e.g.- "LVL", "Q", etc.)

IMPROVEMENTS

• Added skip_if_exp_down fun to handle skipping tests when configured example server is down
• Addresses issues related to CRAN tests failing when this server is down
• Centralized test metadata to make switching between hubs easier for local testing web KISTERS example server is down
• Added .name_repair = "minimal" to as_tibble

MINOR CHANGES

• Reverted to using 'swmc' hub due to issues with KISTERS default KiWIS server
• Fixed bug in ki_station_list that caused station_latitude to be returned as array (#5)
• Added dplyr dependency to clean up table formatting

kiwisR 0.1.5

IMPROVEMENTS

• Changes to check_hub to address query speed degredation
• Was previously checking the server for every query which wrecked query times for looped/repeated queries
• Added tests for faulty URLs passed to ki_* functions (to replace the degredated server checking aspects of check_hub)

MINOR CHANGES

• Fixed small bug fix in ki_station_list that caused errors when passing optional returnfields containing string 'lon'

kiwisR 0.1.4

• Minor formatting changes to DESCRIPTION ('' around software names, etc)
• CRAN submission accepted :)

kiwisR 0.1.3

• Changes in response to CRAN reviewer comments

IMPROVEMENTS

• Unit tests for ki_group_list
• Removed \dontrun from all examples and replaced with examples that use kisters hub

MINOR CHANGES

• Added information about WISKI/KISTERS/KiWIS to DESCRIPTION

kiwisR 0.1.2

• Changes in preparation for first CRAN submission

IMPROVEMENTS

• Unit tests added with testthat
• skip_if_net_down() function from @boshek to skip tests if no internet access ("failing gracefully")
• Added better HTTP request error handling using tryCatch
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
• Added Travis-Cl
• Removed broken hubs and added the KISTERS example KiWIS server as a default
• This hub is now used for the unit tests
• Default hubs now stored in list to streamline adding/removing/matching
• Added badges to README
• check_hub() changes
• now checks for internet before proceeding
• now checks server status using httr::http_status() and returns error message if server can't be reached (especially useful for piping in non-default servers)
• check_date() function to handle checking user-provided date strings

MINOR CHANGES

• Spelling and grammar checked README/docs
• Switched to suggesting devtools for development installation (was remotes)
• Hex logo created (small and lg versions) and added to tools/readme
• Original kiwis image is creative commons
