In theGreatWhiteShark/dwd2r: Automated download and formatting of the data provided by the German weather service (DWD)

v0.1.2

• Fixing bug in test scripts introduced by RCurl::url.exists(). Regular words do suddenly return TRUE. WTF? But entering a invalid URL does still result in FALSE.
• The extract.station.name.and.location function is now obsolete and the extract.content.climate function handles the import of the metadata using the import.file.metadata.climate function for now. Since the DWD decided to not keep the description files up to date anymore, some stations are not mentioned in there and can not be handled afterwards. Therefore I now directly obtain the metadata from the Metadaten_Geographie_ files.
• The encoding was fixed. latin1 is used instead of UTF-8 and handed over via the fileEncoding and not the encoding argument in read.table.

v0.1.1

• Fixing namespacing in the example of get.dwd.ftp.url().
• Explicitly use stats namespace for rnorm function in dwd2r.url.check()
• Adding the dwd2r.md vignette taken from the corresponding blog post.
• A bug in the readline() function causes it to only read multiple characters if there is no trailing whitespace. There was, however, one present in each call and thus all choices larger than 9 could not be accessed

v0.1.0

Splitting the climex package into three different pieces. This part will handle the scrapping, downloading, and formatting of the data provided by the German weather service DWD
