v0.3.0

councilR v0.3.0

This release introduces new database connection helpers for Oracle databases, updates credential management from getOption() to keyring::key_get(), and implements various small fixes and maintenance items.

Thanks to @caitlinhamrock, @schroeder-matt, @mcnamx for their issue submittals and help in development.

Breaking changes

All credential default values reference keyring::key_get(), replacing getOption(). All users will need to create keyring entries for councilR.uid and councilR.pwd. FRED-Oracle users will also need to create entries for FREDOracle.uid, FREDOracle.pwd, FREDOracle.url, and FREDOracle.dsn.

Users can migrate their getOption credentials directly to keyring with the code below. This only needs to be run once.

library(keyring)
# assign councilR.uid
keyring::key_set_with_value(
  service = "councilR.uid",
  password = getOption("councilR.uid")
)

# assign councilR.pwd
keyring::key_set_with_value(
  service = "councilR.pwd",
  password = getOption("councilR.pwd")
)

Other changes

• import_from_gpkg() now allows passthrough arguments to sf::read_sf(). This is particularly useful for geopackages with multiple layers . Closes #84.
• import_from_gis() takes a new parameter geometry which allows the user to specify whether to fetch spatial data columns. Closes #78.
• Parameter type checkers now use councilR functions rather than {rlang} internal-only functions. This increases flexibility and should reduce warnings. Closes #88.
• {keyring} added to dependencies and other dependent packages updated.
• FRED-SQL (via fred_connection()) and GISLibrary (via gis_connection()) servers updated.
• Additional bug fixes, closing #86.
