Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

Version 0.2.5 (2026-01-29)

CRAN release: 2026-01-29

Added

  • Additional defensive code in the vignette to better handle unexpected conditions and improve overall robustness.

Changed

  • The validation function get_valid_time_period_ids() was updated to ensure it retrieves all valid time periods from the API. Although this introduces a slight performance slowdown, it provides greater long-term stability against future API changes.

Fixed

  • Corrected an issue in the example cvd_area_system_level() where an incompatible TimePeriodID was being produced. The example has been updated to prevent recurrence and the underlying validation logic has been strengthened.

Version 0.2.4 (2025-11-11)

CRAN release: 2025-11-11

Added

  • None in this release.

Changed

  • cvd_clear_cache() is exported for end-users to access, for example to clear stale values from the cache.

Fixed

  • Cache defaults to in-memory when the package is used non-interatively, which should resolve CRAN test issues on certain builds. When used interactively (most use-cases) will use persistent disc-based cache that is more convenient for users.

Deprecated

  • None in this release.

Version 0.2.3 (2025-11-05)

CRAN release: 2025-11-05

Added

  • New function cvd_external_resource() to retrieve metadata for external resources linked to CVDPREVENT, including category, source, type, and tags.
  • Support for inequality marker breakdowns via cvd_indicator_person_timeseries() with expanded documentation and return structure.
  • @return documentation blocks added for all major functions to improve clarity and usability.

Changed

  • Improved documentation across all indicator-related functions, including clearer @description, @details, and @seealso sections.
  • Enhanced validation logic for metric_id, area_id, and time_period_id parameters to ensure API compatibility.
  • Refactored internal processing of nested API responses for better stability and readability.

Fixed

Deprecated

  • None in this release.
