climatestatsr 0.1.2

CRAN Revision (2026-05-21)

Changes in response to CRAN review

• Added key method references with DOIs to the Description field in DESCRIPTION: Mann (1945), Sen (1968), Moran (1950), Coles (2001), Vicente-Serrano et al. (2010), Allen and Tett (1999).
• Fixed invalid URL for Steadman (1979) DOI in man/heat_index.Rd, inst/CITATION, vignettes/climatestatsr.Rmd, and inst/doc/climatestatsr.html. The legacy AMS DOI containing angle brackets is now rendered as plain text (not a hyperlink) to avoid URL parsing failures.
• Fixed 15 additional doi:[DOI](URL) Markdown patterns in the vignette that rendered as broken double-links in HTML output.
• Removed R/cleanup_stray_files.R (erroneously included in R/ directory).
• Removed build/ directory (artefact from local build process).
• Bumped version to 0.1.2.
