2.1.0 Submission

This is a minor release, fixing a bug and adding new columns to the output of fredr().

2.0.0 Resubmission

This is a re-submission of fredr 2.0.0. See below for the explanation of why fredr was archived to begin with, and our fix.

Review 1 - 2020-11-11

Please always make sure to reset to user's options(), working directory or par() after you changed it in examples and vignettes and demos. e.g.: old <- options(digits = 3) ... options(old)

The fredr vignettes were using options(digits = 4). This has been removed.

Have the issues why your package was archived been fixed? Please explain this in the submission comments.

fredr was archived because fredr_docs() was hitting a URL that used to be valid, but changed somewhere along the way to be invalid. This broke a test. We have updated fredr_docs() to be simpler, and to only browse a URL that should be more stable.

2.0.0 Submission

This is a submission of fredr 2.0.0 intended to un-orphan the fredr package.

Resubmission

This is a resubmission. In this version I have:

• Changed \dontrun{} to \donttest{} for function examples sections.
• Properly commented out non-code lines in examples sections.
• Added packages used only for examples to Suggests section of DESCRIPTION
• Modified examples using packages in Suggests section of DESCRIPTION to only run if the package is available.

Note: The examples for fredr_tags() and fredr_tags_series() take greater than 5s due to the response time from the FRED API itself. No modifications to the R code or changes to parameters such as 'limit' seem to be able to increase this response time.

Previous resubmissions

• Modified the contents of LICENSE such that it adheres to the CRAN template for the MIT license.
• Verified the Title section of DESCRIPTION is now in title case.
• Reworded the Description section of DESCRIPTION to remove redundancies.
• Added single quotes to mentions of 'FRED' and 'Federal Reserve Economic Data'.
• Added the FRED API URL to the Description section of DESCRIPTION.

Release Summary

This is the first release of 'fredr'. 'fredr' provides a complete R interface to the FRED (Federal Reserve of Economic Data, St. Louis) API.

Notes to CRAN: We understand that generally examples should not be wrapped in \dontrun{}. However, all examples wrapped in \dontrun{} require API authentication and would fail on CRAN. We test extensively on Travis and Appveyor. The 'riingo' package does a similar thing, and its author is a co-author here.
