NEW FEATURES

  • gains new functions for Kew's Plants of the World: get_pow(), get_pow_(), as.pow(), classification.pow(), pow_search(), and pow_lookup() (#598) (#739)
  • we now pass a user agent string in all HTTP requests to the various data sources so they know its coming from taxize. the string will look something like r-curl/3.3 crul/0.7.0 rOpenSci(taxize/0.9.6), including the versions of the curl R pkg, the crul package, and the taxize package (#662)
  • change to get_colid functionality: we weren't paginating for the user when there were more than 50 results for a query; we now paginate for the user using async HTTP requests; this means that some requests will take longer than they did before if they have more than 50 results; this is a good change given that you get all the results for your query now (#743)
  • change across most get_* functions: in some of the get_* functions we tried for a direct match (e.g., "Poa" == "Poa") and if one was found, then we were done and returned that record. however, we didn't deploy the same logic across all get_* functions. Now all get_* functions check for a direct match. Of course if there is a direct match with more than 1 result, you still get the prompt asking you which name you want. (#631) (#734)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Make separate taxize-authentication manual file covering authentication information across the package (#681)
  • new case study vignette added (#544) (#721) thanks @fozy81
  • add note to gnr_resolve() docs about age of datasets used in the Global Names Resolver, and how to access age of datasets (#737)
  • get_eolid() fixes: gains new attribute pageid; uri's given are updated to EOL's new URL format; rank and datasource parameters were not documented, now are; we no longer use short names for data sources within EOL, but instead use their full names (#702) (#742)
  • col_search() now returns attributes on the output data.frame's with number of results found and returned, and other metadata about the search
  • gnr_datasources() loses the todf parameter; now always returns a data.frame and the data.frame has all the columns, whereas the default call returned a limited set of columns in previous versions

BUG FIXES

  • fix bug in get_wormsid(), was failing when there was a direct match found with more than 1 result (#740)
  • fix across all get_* functions: linting of the input to the rows parmeter was failing with a vector of values in some cases (#741)
  • fix to iucn_summary(); we weren't passing on the API key internally correctly (#735) thanks @PrincessPi314 for the report
