v.1.7.11

This release fixes a failing unit test (#196) due to a broken URL, and updates outdated URLs (#201).

v1.7.10

This release contains a single bug fix that was causing a unit test to fail because of a change made to the source dataset (#183).

v1.7.9

1.7.9
CRAN bug fixes

The updates from 1.7.8 to 1.7.9 are all realated to minor bug fixes to pass CRAN tests, which were caused by changes by the data portal vendor. See #179 and #174

• Tests have been updated to reflect changes in the order in which columns are returned
• Tests have been skipped to reflect the vendor's deletion of user accounts that are consistent with their security policy.
• The README.md was updated to remove the link to waffle.io

v1.7.8

This release contains a single bug fix that was causing a unit test to fail because of a change made to the source dataset.

v1.7.7

This release contains a single bug fix that was causing a unit test to fail because of a change made to the source dataset. (#169)

v1.7.6

This release contains a single bug fix that was causing a unit test to fail because of a change made to the source dataset. (#166)

v1.7.5

This release contains a single bug fix that was causing a unit test to fail because of a change made to the source dataset. (#158 )

v1.7.4

New features:

• Adds support for Socrata's grid view URL structure (e.g., ending with /data) (#147)
• read.socrata, write.socrata, and ls.socrata includes User-Agent in headers, allowing for Socrata to track RSocrata usage (from version 1.7.4 onward) (#119)

Bug fixes:

• Temporary fix for #137 by simply commenting-out the unit test calling to City of Boston. Future versions will provide an alternative fix for this.
• Reduces "false positive" write.socrata() unit test by only checking for 200 HTTP status code (#143)
• Solved erroneous error messages from unit testing (#148)

v1.7.3

This release contains a single bug fix that was causing a unit test to fail because of a change made to the source dataset. (#141)

v1.7.2

Performance improvements:

• By default, 1000 rows at a time were being retreived for each API call while paging through data. Increased to retreive 50,000 rows for each API call. (#129)

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug which caused an error if a select=count() statement was present in a URL. (#120)
• Fixed a bug when data types are not found because there are no X-SODA2-* headers available in the API response. Users will now get a warning and data will be returned as character. (#118)
• Fixed a bug which did not recognize URLs listed from ls.socrata() as valid URLs to be used in read.socrata(). Users will now be able to use URLs from the former function in the latter function. (#124)
• Removed unit tests for older releases of R. (#136)

Deprecation:

RSocrata's core development team has stated a formal policy to only support the most recent release of R. Until now, RSocrata was tested against the penultimate release of R; however, testing will be limited to the current version of R and the current development release. The project's contributing guidelines have been updated to reflect that accepted changes to RSocrata must pass tests on the current and penulimate versions of R.

While RSocrata is only tested on the current and penultimate version, the core development team expects it will work on older versions most of the time. See #132 for more information.
