UPCOMING CHANGES

  • In future versions of this package, functions such as get_rakennustietoruudukko(), get_vaestotietoruudukko(), get_hri_stats() and get_city_map() may be changed from their current implementation due to expected changes in their relevant APIs.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Added option to download data from years 1997-1998 and 2009-2014 to get_rakennustietoruudukko() and years 1997-2003 and 2008-2014 to get_vaestotietoruudukko() via HRI data repository.
  • Added new internal functions get_hri_dataset_list() and get_hri_dataset_metadata() to facilitate abovementioned new features and always return up-to-date download URLs for zipped datasets.
  • Functions relying on HTTP requests should now return informative messages instead of warnings and errors if an internet resource is not available. New internal function gracefully_fail() facilitates this.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • Traces of deprecated get_hsy() function have now been removed from the package

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • Dataset aluejakokartat now removed from package. As a replacement it is recommended to use get_city_map() function to download up-to-date maps of different cities.

helsinki 1.0.3 (2021-08-30)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • wfs_api made to output messages instead of warnings and errors in case of connectivity and other problems
  • get_rakennustietoruudukko() and get_vaestotietoruudukko() now have 2020 data, one exceptionally named dataset from 2016 now downloads correctly
  • Vignette examples now more robust against unexpected errors

helsinki 1.0.1 (2021-05-09)

NEW FEATURES

  • New function get_feature_list() added to easily list all available features in a WFS API
  • New function select_feature() added to interactively browse and select features from WFS API
  • New function get_feature() added for a simplified experience when interacting with wfs_api()
  • New function get_city_map() added to interactively download city administrative boundaries from an API instead of having to provide them with the package
  • New functions wfs_api() and to_sf() added from another rOpenGov-package, fmi2, to interact with WFS APIs

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Improved output for get_servicemap() and get_linkedevents()
  • Rmarkdown added as an explicit dependency, as required by knitr-package maintainers
  • Using period.separated naming for function parameters and underscore_separated naming for function names and objects inside functions, as distinction between the two is sometimes useful for increased code legibility

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • get_hsy() now deprecated due to URL changes. Use get_vaestotietoruudukko() and get_rakennustietoruudukko instead.
  • Older datasets must now be downloaded directly from Helsinki Region Infoshare website (for example https://hri.fi/data/en_GB/dataset/rakennustietoruudukko in the case of Building Information Grid) whereas package functionalities revolve around interacting with and downloading data from WFS API.
  • Package no longer has maptools and RCurl as dependencies and no longer imports rjson, uses httr, httpcache and jsonlite instead
