NEW FEATURES

  • New variables lat_euref and lon_euref available for occurrence
    record downloads. These new variables represent the central point of
    a bounding box encompassing a record's geographic coverage in the
    EUREF (ETRS89/ETRS-TM35FIN) coordinate system.

  • Option now available to retain the TSV data file when loading FinBIF
    occurrence data with finbif_occurrence_load from ZIP archive or
    online reference.

  • Option now available to extract "facts" when using
    finbif_occurrence_load to import records from a ZIP archive. The
    user must supply a named list, where the names refer to one or more
    fact types: "record", "event" and/or "document", and the list
    elements are character vectors indicating which "facts" to extract.

  • "Lite" download files (occurrence record datasets of less than
    10,000 records downloaded directly from laji.fi) can now be imported
    using finbif_occurrence_load.

  • New filters (currently undocumented) ely_center_id and region_id
    are available for finbif_occurrence.

  • New function, from_schema, to convert variable names from FinBIF
    schema to other styles.

  • New computed variable date_time_ISO8601 (currently undocumented)
    can be selected when creating finbif_occ objects.

  • New computed variable epsg (currently undocumented). If selected,
    the column will have the EPSG code of the first column that contains
    geographic data.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Can now select all available variables when importing a FinBIF
    download request file using finbif_occurrence_load with
    select = "all".

  • New option, drop_na, to drop columns that only contain missing
    data added to finbif_occurrence and finbif_occurrence load.

  • User can now select columns multiple times and rename them on the
    fly by using a named character vector as the value of the 'select'
    argument.

  • The variable taxon_rank is now converted to a string on the fly
    via taxon_rank_id.

  • Variables that are computed from their identifiers are now localised
    when multiple languages are available.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed bug that prevented occurrence record counting when caching was
    not in use.

  • Fixed bug that triggered an error when selected a variable that had
    to be computed from its ID when using DWC style variable names.
