isdparser 0.4.0

NEW FEATURES

• Gains new function isd_parse_csv() for working with ISD csv files rather than the compressed ASCII text files that isd_parse() parses. This new function introduces two new package imports: data.table and lubridate. The internals of the parsing tools for the various data types have changed to accommodate both csv and ASCII text files (#16)

isdparser 0.3.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• towards working on integrating metadata for each of the data fields, we’ve incorporated a data.frame of metadata into the package. see ?isd_metadata. eventually we’d like to allow conversions and such on the data based on units (#12)

BUG FIXES

• fix to internal parsing of string; first remove REM section from the ADD section so that codes in REM that happen to match those in ADD aren’t detected spuriously (#15) thanks @ezwelty

isdparser 0.2.0

NEW FEATURES

• New function isd_transform() that transforms some variables in ISD output data - but not all. This functionality used to be done by default in isd_parse() and isd_parse_line() - but data transforming yanked out as separate step done with isd_transform() (#11)
• Both isd_parse() and isd_parse_line() gain new parameter additional to optionally include additional and remarks data sections in output (#10)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a bug in isd() in which a data section was not parsed correctly. (#9)

isdparser 0.1.0

NEW FEATURES

• Released to CRAN.
