cancensus - 0.5.3
- Added a check and context menu to install
sf package
when user requests spatial data but does not have the required package
installed as opposed to stopping with an error.
- fixes a bug in the local data recall check
cancensus - 0.5.2
- resolved broken and relocated links picked up in CRAN
pretesting
cancensus - 0.5.1
- Added functionality for users to detect and remove locally cached
data that has been recalled by Statistics Canada
- added a check on initial
get_census call that produces
a warning if locally cached data has been recalled by Statistics
Canada
- added option to retrieve higher-resolution geometries in
get_census
Minor changes
- renamed get/set cache/api_key functions to avoid name conflicts with
related packages
cancensus - 0.5.0
Minor changes
- Added cache metadata
- overview information on cached data
- allow selective removing of cached data
cancensus 0.4.3
Minor changes
- Fixed a problem with
sf compatibility and
agr attribute
- Fixed a problem with querying geographic data for multiple
geographic levels
cancensus 0.4.2
Minor changes
- Fixed a minor problem where cache path wasn’t always picked up
- Added optional argument
keep_parent when calling
child_census_vectors() that retains the input parent
variable in the list of result. We found that in many cases user would
follow up a call to child_census_vectors() with a
bind_rows(...) to do this, so this should save a step.
cancensus 0.4.1
Minor changes
- Fixed minor problem where API key wasn’t always picked up if not set
correctly as environment variable.
- Fixed warning when
t column not present in downloaded
data.
cancensus 0.4.0
Major changes
- Added
get_intersecting_geometry function to take
advantage of new Censusmapper API endpoint. Check out the new vignette
detailing how to use it.
Minor changes
- Slightly reworked how to configure and store user API keys and cache
locations. New functions
set_api_key,
set_cache_path, show_api_key, and
show_cache_path added.
- Fixes various warnings due to recent changes in tibble and
dplyr.
cancensus 0.3.2
Major changes
- Support for 1996 census
- Public availability of dissemination block area level data
Minor changes
- Fixes bug in
find_census_vectors()
cancensus 0.3.1
Minor changes
cancensus 0.3.0
Major changes
- Fully redesigned variable search using
find_census_vectors() and deprecation of
`search_census_vectors(). See the Data
discovery: resources for finding available and relevant data
vignette for additional information.
- Census Agglomerations with defined geographies and Census tracts are
separated from CMAs when calling
list_census_regions()
- Additional metadata for catalogue information and attribution is
returned when calling
list_census_datasets()
- New functions
explore_census_regions and
explore_census_vectors which open a browser page towards
the interactive discovery and selection tools on the Censusmapper website
- New function
attribution_for_dataset which provides
accurate attribution information for citation and visualizations for a
given dataset.
- Additional datasets: T1FF taxfiler data and dwelling type crosstabs,
made available by CMHC. For more info, see the new vignettes for these
datasets: Additional
datasets: Structural type of dwelling by document type, Additional
datasets: Annual T1FF taxfiler data.
get_census_geometry() is now hard-deprecated and will
stop the program flow. Use get_census() instead.
Minor changes
- Updated internal usage of dependent packages to avoid deprecated
functions and warnings
- Additional minor fixes to efficiency improvements
cancensus 0.2.2
Minor changes
- More efficient conversion between
sp and
sf spatial objects
- Fixes issue occasionally reported when reading large GeoJSON objects
as noted in https://github.com/mountainMath/cancensus/issues/138
- Adds
geojsonsf dependency
- Replaces soft deprecated dplyr functions to fix
https://github.com/mountainMath/cancensus/issues/137
cancensus 0.2.1
Minor changes
- Minor documentation improvements
- Allow for search by vector identifier
- Allow child and parent vector retrieval by vector identifier
- Add functionality for future tax data releases
cancensus 0.2.0
Major changes
- Added a
max_leaves_option for the
search_census_vectors function. Adds functionality to set
maximum depth for child census vectors, i.e. max_level=NA
as an additional parameter. Then e.g. max_level=1 would
only get direct children and no grandchildren.
- Resolved issues with mislabeled CD UID for CSD level data
- Improve reliability of character/numeric alignments for geographic
UIDS
get_census_geography is now soft deprecated and rolled
into the standard get_census with parameters
Minor changes
- Minor documentation improvements
- Soften dependency on
readr package
- Allow for search of internal CensusMapper variables
cancensus 0.1.8
Major changes
- Remove dependency on development versions of
sf and
ggplot2 packages
- Add feature allowing for named vector retrieval
Minor Changes
- Vignette updates
- Calls that retrieve only geography will now return geographic
hierarchy information as well
- Small tweaks that make it easier to do 2011-2016 intra-census
comparisons
Bug fixes
- Fix labels when geo format is
sf
- Remove some unnecessary code for geographic hierarchies
cancensus 0.1.7
Major changes
- Set default caching to
tempdir()
- Encourage users to set up local persistent caching using
options(cancensus.cache_path = 'XXX')
cancensus 0.1.6
Major changes

- Ensured that data frames were
sf-class data frames if
option sf was selected for spatial data.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where
read.csv was incorrectly loading text
data if readr::read_csv was not available
cancensus 0.1.5
Major changes
- Added a
NEWS.md file to track changes to the
package.

list_census_vectors() changed to
have quiet = TRUE
cancensus 0.1.0

- Added vector and geography search and discovery capabilities
- Improved performance
- Error and API issue messaging
