mobdb 1.0.0

Setting the stage for an initial CRAN release and bugfixes.

Major changes

• First stable release prepared for CRAN submission
• Comprehensive documentation and vignettes

Minor changes

• Refined API response caching system
• Improved error messages and user feedback
• New! raw= argument added to download_feed() and download_best_feed() - download raw ZIP files without parsing or processing

Bug fixes

• Various stability improvements from pre-release testing
• Feed download functions like download_feed() should now consistently have GTFS spec-compliant dates and times.

mobdb 0.1.8

Major changes

• New! download_best_feed() function for intelligent, one-shot downloading of GTFS Schedule feeds
  • Automatically ranks feeds by status, official designation, validation quality, and service date coverage
  • Prompts for user selection when multiple equally-ranked feeds exist (in interactive mode)
  • Falls back to historical datasets when current feed is marked “future” or “inactive”
  • Like download_feed(), only works with GTFS Schedule feeds

Minor changes

• New! export_path= argument added to download_feed() and download_best_feed(). This argument wraps export_gtfs() from gtfsio to save GTFS Schedule files as a ZIP file locally. Perfect for workflows that need a local ZIP file and not a tidygtfs object, like analysis in R5r
• FYI: Documentation for this package has now been moved to a new domain - https://mobdb.jasonadle.dev - you should be redirected automatically and we’ll keep it up on the old domain for a period of time.

• download_feed(latest = FALSE) returns all available historical versions without downloading
