Function retirements

  • ipumsr no longer suggests raster, rgdal, and sp (#23). Removing these
    dependencies requires the retirement of several previously deprecated
    functions:

    • All read_terra_*() functions
    • read_ipums_sp() (use read_ipums_sf() to load spatial data in sf format)
    • read_ipums_codebook() (use read_nhgis_codebook() to load an NHGIS
      codebook)
    • ipums_list_*() helper functions (instead, use ipums_list_files())
    • read_nhgis_sf() and read_nhgis_sp() (instead, use read_ipums_sf() and
      read_nhgis() to load spatial and tabular data separately, then join
      with an ipums_shape_join_*() function)

Other updates

  • Fixes bug in ipums_view() where content would not display properly in
    viewer pane (#19)

  • RStudio is now explicitly required to launch files in the viewer pane using
    ipums_view(). R console users can still generate stand-alone HTML files
    that can be viewed in a different browser.

  • Updates the UI and fixes various bugs in ipums_website() (#54):

    • Accepted project names are now consistent with those provided in
      ipums_ddi objects. Shorthand project names as used by the IPUMS API are
      also accepted.
    • Users can now use the same syntax regardless of whether providing
      an ipums_ddi object or a project name. The project argument has been
      deprecated.
    • MacOS is now supported
    • The var argument is no longer required. Omitting var will launch the
      URL to the homepage for the specified IPUMS project.
    • The homepage_if_missing argument now defaults to FALSE.
    • The var_label argument has been deprecated

  • Updates IPUMS projects listed in ipums_data_collections().

  • Various documentation updates
