v1.1.1

flightsbr v1.1.1

• The previous version of {flightsbr} was temporarily taken down from CRAN because one of its dependencies (the {parzer} package) was removed from CRAN on July 1st 2025. This update of flightsbr v1.1.1 is simply intended to put the package back on CRAN.

flightsbr v1.1.0

• Major changes:

  • The default of all read_ functions now is to download data from the latest date available.
  • The function read_aircrafts() is now deprecated in favor of read_aircraft() simply to fix a typo in the function name. The behavior and outputs are identical. Closes #45

• CRAN policy:

  • updaed DESCRIPTION file removing 'NeedsCompilation'

  • Function read_airfares() is working again. Closes #30. The prices of air tickets are now returned as numeric.
  • Function read_flights() with fixed decimal values in numeric columns. Closes #43
  • Function read_airports() with fixed numeric values for "altitude" column. Closes #42

v0.5.0

flightsbr v0.5.0

• Major changes:

  • Fixed ANAC's broken link of public airports
  • Functions read_flights(), read_airport_movements(), and read_aircrafts() now accept vectors of dates like c(202201, 202301) or c(2022, 2024)
  • Functions read_airports() and read_aircrafts() now has a cache parameter.
  • The package is now significantly faster because it is using curl::multi_download() to download files in parallel. This brings the advantage that the package now automatically detects whether the data file has been updated and should be downloaded again.

• Minor changes:

  • Streamlined functions to simplify package maintenance and improve performance
  • Using {fs} to manage file paths and {archive} to unzip files

  • The read_aircrafts() function now used fread(skip = 1) internally to read column names correctly.

  • Using a simpler / slightly faster version of latlon_to_numeric() with suppressed warnings.
  • Update package citation, adding OSF preprint DOI.
