mapme.biodiversity 0.9.6

General

• a message showing the package version number is now printed when the package is attached
• the default output path in the tempdir() now follows the pattern 'mapme-data-...' for better visibility
• a new argument delay, indicating the interval between successive retries, has been added to the mapme_options() function
• the mapme_options() function arguments delay and retries now command the GDAL configuration options GDAL_HTTP_RETRY_DELAY and GDAL_HTTP_MAX_RETRY, so it is not necessary to set them using Sys.setenv() (see 441)
• modified get_nelson_et_al() to cope with Figshare asynchronous download mechanism (474)
• updated get_humanfootprint() to accept years up to 2024
• modified get_acled() to align with the new ACLED API version (440)
• updated tests related to ACLED resource to reflect the changes in the get_acled() function

Internal

• modified internal function .fetch_resource() to include GDAL options in the list of resources it failed to fetch
• the functions get_mcd64a1() and get_nasa_srtm(), that download data from Microsoft Planetary Computer, now use a more efficient URL signing scheme, which should reduce the risk of hitting the rate limitations (see 441)
