Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

dod 0.1.14

• Update documentation to show the familial relationships between all downloading functions.
• Change dod.coastline() to handle the new server location noticed in December 2024.
• Change dod.tideGauge() to obey age parameter.
• Prevent documentation examples from running in non-interactive mode. This seems to be the only way to prevent a pkgdown::build_site() error that comes up with downloaded files. The error is actually a warning, but it stops the processing, so we cannot tolerate it. The message is from gzfile() stating that it cannot open a compressed file. I’ve seen errors like this in discussion boards going back many years, related to many things. I have no idea what the problem is, despite quite a lot of searching and testing. Would I like it if the website showed plots, etc? Sure. Do I want to spend a day aimlessly trying things and searching the web? Not so much.

dod 0.1.13

• Change dod.tideGauge() to handle present-day DFO format (issue #12).
• Change dod.ctd.bats() to simply report an error about the BATS website (issue #15).
• Change all examples to no longer download since this causes problems with pkgdown::build_site(). The problem was first noticed on 2024-12-17.

dod 0.1.12

• Change dod.amsr() to default to 4 days into the past, because in early morning, the 3-day default would fail because files were not yet ready on the server. Also, change the first parameter so it can be a Date or time object, or a string that can be converted to the former.
• Switch from download.file() to RCurl::download_file(), because the former was seen to cause problems on Windows machines.
• Rename silent argument to quiet, to match the name used in RCurl::download_file().

dod 0.1.11

• Add dod.met.index().

dod 0.1.10

• Change dod.buoy() to handle several buoys of the smartatlantic program.

dod 0.1.9

• Change dod.met() to default station to 43405, since on 2024-03-16 it was noticed that the older default no longer held data.

dod 0.1.8

• Change dod.tideGauge() to accept a number for start.

dod 0.1.7

dod 0.1.4

• Move project to https://www.github.com/dankelley/dod for future development.

dod 0.1.3

• Make dod.amsr() be local, as opposed to a call to oce::download.amsr(). It is also changed in major ways, because the data provider has altered both the directory structure and the data format. For more, see https://github.com/dankelley/oce/issues/2124.
