Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

sds 0.3.0

  • The registry (inst/extdata/sds-registry.csv) is now the single source of truth for constant sources: the legacy functions (gebco() suite, cop30(), rema(), CGAZ(), addrock(), tas_dem(), ibcso(), the wms_* family, and friends) are one-line shims over dsn(). Edit the CSV, not the functions; equivalence is enforced by tests.

  • The GDAL_WMS XML recipes (wms_*) and the mapterhorn VRT now live as readable files in inst/sources/, each with a registry row. The two wms_mapbox_* functions remain token templates and are not rows. wms_amazon_elevation() no longer bakes in a stale 2022 UserAgent.

  • New export gadm(), GADM 4.1 whole-planet GeoParquet hosted as an sds release asset; the geodata.ucdavis.edu GeoPackage remains available as dsn("gadm_gpkg").

  • Registry catch-up with the GEBCO rehosting: gebco26 row added, 2024-2026 served from Source Cooperative, 2019/2021 via the AADC data API.

  • Fix: ibcso(chart = TRUE) pointed at a misspelled (404) filename; now registry-backed and regression-tested.

  • Dead sources now say so: dea_250m_dem() errors with its successor (AusBathyTopo 250m 2024, doi:10.26186/150050) instead of returning a 404 URL; esri_ocean (retired 2022) and usgs_tnmblank are marked dead; CGAZ(old = TRUE) warns. ga_national_map service name corrected (NationalBaseMap) and a greyscale variant added.

  • The registry gained a linkcheck column (skip for sources alive but unreachable from CI), and the ozgrab grab-bag of Australian state services is promoted to named rows (sa/qld/nsw/wa/vic), adjudicated by the weekly link check.

  • Link checker hardening: WMS raw rows are now probed via GetCapabilities (a bare GetMap string cannot be validated), the weekly run appends a per-source history to .github/linkcheck-log.csv so link rot is tracked over time, and the report issue’s label is created if missing. The audit retired ga_canberra_2014_wms (its GA service returns HTTP 400 even for GetCapabilities).

  • Removed unexported duplicates superseded by registry rows (the usgs_* WMTS functions, tasmap_sources(), the geoserver helpers); all remain available via dsn() / dsn_list().

sds 0.2.0

  • New gebco26() for the GEBCO 2026 grid, and gebco() now defaults to it. gebco26(), gebco25(), and gebco24() are now served from Source Cooperative (https://data.source.coop/ausantarctic/gebco/), hosted by the Australian Antarctic Division.

  • gebco21() and gebco19() now use the stable AADC data API endpoint (data.aad.gov.au/eds/api), replacing the retired public.services.aad.gov.au host. /vsicurl/ follows the API’s redirect to the (short-lived, presigned) object URL.

  • New registry backend: all constant sources now live in a plain CSV (inst/extdata/sds-registry.csv), one row per source. Adding a source is a one-line PR.

  • New dsn(name) returns a GDAL-ready data source name, dressed by kind (/vsicurl/, /vsizip//vsicurl/, WMTS:, or full XML/VRT text). No vsi toggle – the registry knows the kind. Undress with dsn::unvsicurl() or take the bare url from dsn_list().

  • New dsn_list() and dsn_info() for discovery – filter by theme, provider, kind; inspect crs, license, and liveness status.

  • Existing source functions (gebco(), cop30(), etc.) are retained as thin shims over dsn(), no change to their behaviour.

  • Depends on the dsn package for chainable VSI prefix verbs (vsicurl(), vsizip(), …).

  • Many previously-unexported sources are now discoverable via the registry, including USGS and Tasmania (theLIST) WMTS, and AADC/DEA geoservers.

  • Added WMTS catalog entries (ESRI, NASA GIBS incl. native Antarctic EPSG:3031 and Arctic EPSG:3413, Geoscience Australia, swisstopo), cherry-picked from the sources-wmts-coop branch (#13).

  • Added GADM 4.1 whole-planet administrative boundaries (gadm), companion to CGAZ().

  • WMS and VRT payloads (OpenStreetMap TMS, mapterhorn) moved out of R source into inst/sources/ files – readable and diffable.

  • Fix: stacit(gdal_stacit = TRUE) no longer errors on a removed asset.

  • Fix: mursst_time() now calls mursst_zarr() (was calling a renamed function).

  • Fix: seaice_cdr() no longer depends on dplyr (case_when replaced; sensor-era table shared with cdr_urls()).

  • Fix: removed duplicate usgs_shade() definition; documented the sentinel_grid dataset and ship it once.
