v2.2.0

Improved organisational support

• Flemish living atlas and Kew Gardens Data Portal added (#256, #271).
• Authentication supported for ALA users, with associated vignette (#189).
• All GBIF data queries now use predicates. filter() builds predicate queries natively when atlas is set to GBIF using an object-oriented workflow (#272).
• Re-downloading a file via its' DOI now supported for GBIF (#272).
• search_identifiers() and tibble-based searching via search_taxa() now supported for GBIF

New functions

• dplyr::distinct() can be used to find grouped data and summaries, generalising atlas_species() (#284).
• dplyr::glimpse() can be used to see what the resulting query will look like.
• New functions capture() and compound() as prequels to collapse() (#278).

Changes to metadata functions

• All metadata requests now accept select().
• Metadata types that support unnest() now also support filter(), even when unnest() is not supplied.
• All show_all() and search_all() functions gain an all_fields argument.
• Metadata now supports list-columns where the API returns nested data.
• Metadata functions now return columns names in snake_case rather than camelCase.
• All metadata functions support caching, and are affected by re-introduced caching argument in galah_config() (set to TRUE by default #282).
• Media metadata now uses a different API to return more relevant information.

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• galah_call() is now synonmous with request_data() rather than wrapping all request_ functions; method argument is removed.
• Move to testthat 3rd edition for improved test functionality.
• Move to {cli} for print() calls, not cat().
• Reduce usage of @importFrom in favour of pkg::fun() syntax, as per R style guide.
• basisOfRecord now included as default field (i.e. with select(group = "basic")). (#281)
• query objects now have a request slot showing the request that generated them .
