taxadb 0.2.1
- substantial speed improvements to all 
filter_* and
get_* functions 
- streamline legacy code in filter_* and get_* functions to better
leverage duckdb speed increase
 
get_names and get_ids now use the same
argument name, provider, to specify the naming provider,
rather than db (which was used in
taxize::get_ids) 
taxadb 0.2.0
- taxadb is now backed by partitioned parquet files, cached locally by
contentid
 
- taxadb is now fully-duckdb based. This deprecates the previous
‘pluggable’ backend with options to use RSQLite or no database backend.
Parquet-backed option means that even initial import is much faster,
leaving no need to use any of the inferior backend options.
 
- mutate_db is deprecated, 
dplyr::mutate() will work as
anticipated. 
- metadata/prov archive is now based on schema.org rather than
DCAT2
 
- includes 22.12 release for name providers 
col,
itis, ncbi, ott, and
gbif. Other database name providers are currently
deprecated (though at least iucn should be restored
soon). 
taxadb 0.1.6
- bugfix for recent duckdb release. (imported table names are now
prefixed with “v” to avoid names that start with numbers)
 
taxadb 0.1.5
- bugfix for upcoming dbplyr release
 
taxadb 0.1.4
- bugfix in 
get_ids() when multiple English common names
are accepted for the species. 
- export 
taxadb_dir(), making it easier to purge the DB
after duckdb upgrades 
- All imports must be used
 
- Improve testing in 
db=NULL case. 
- Require R.utils, to ensure compressed files can be expanded
