censobr v0.4.0

  • Major changes

    • Some functions (read_mortality, read_emigration) now include a new parameter merge_households (logical) to indicate whether the function should merge household variables to the output data. Partially closes #31
    • {censobr} now imports the {duckplyr} package, which is used for merging household data. Closes issue #31.
    • New vignette showing how to work with larger-than-memory data. Closes #42. The vignette still needs to be expanded with more examples, though.
  • Minor changes

    • Updated Vignettes Closes issue #51
    • Removed dependency on the {httr} package
    • Now using curl::multi_download() to download files in parallel. This brings the advantage that the package now automatically detects whether the data/documentation file has been updated and should be downloaded again.
  • Changes to data sets and files included in this version:

    • Population microdata for the year 2000 now include a few columns that were not included before. Closes #44
    • Included additional columns and fixed minor errors in data dictionary of 2010 microdata. Closes #45
  • New data set and files included in this version:

    • 1960 census Closes #32
      • Interview manual
      • Data dictionary for microdata of population and households
      • Microdata of population and households
    • 1970: fixed geography columns. Closes #52
