Use inheriting in documentation where possible to avoid things being outdated in some parts of the package
Include NEWS.md in the R package build

Allow search_eurostat() to search from TOC codes in addition to titles by adding new column argument (as described in issue #86 )
Replace empty spaces in eurostat TOC object names (column names) with ., making subsetting TOC easier

pitkant commented 1 year ago

Add hierarchy column to TOC, possibly making it possible to download whole folders with a single command in the future (as described in issue #226)

New function get_eurostat_folder() makes it possible to download several datasets with one function. Solves issue #226

pitkant commented 1 year ago

Update documentation on dataset filtering and start using new URL for Eurostat dictionaries

Previous push broke some functions that needed to be either rewritten or given a temporary fix.
Rewrite label_eurostat_tables()
Deprecate label_eurostat_vars() (meaning it still works)
Create a temporary function label_eurostat_vars2() that will replace label_eurostat_vars() when it stops working. Do not use label_eurostat_vars2() in any scripts, it's mainly for testing purposes
Testing fetching dataset metadata from SDMX API SDMX-ML files, might be worthwhile to use this approach more widely as replacements to label_eurostat and get_eurostat_dic functionalities
