  • The ability to read an IPUMS DDI file contained within a zip archive using
    read_ipums_ddi() has been deprecated. Users must now load DDI files by
    providing the direct path to the uncompressed .xml file.

    This resolves an inconsistency between the behavior
    of read_ipums_micro_*() functions when provided a DDI file path as compared to
    an ipums_ddi object created with read_ipums_ddi().

  • The ability to read IPUMS files by providing the path to their containing
    directory has been deprecated. This affects:

    • read_nhgis()
    • read_ipums_sf()
    • read_nhgis_codebook()
    • read_ipums_ddi()
    • ipums_list_files()

    These functions now require either a zip archive (with the exception of
    read_ipums_ddi()—see above) or a direct file path as input.

    This has the consequence that read_ipums_sf() with bind_multiple = TRUE
    requires a zip archive as input if multiple files are to be read and combined.

  • Documentation updates for clarity
