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.
Add climate data record sea ice (full sequence)
Add mapterhorn_elevation.
Add GEBCO 2025.
GEDTM sources list is a dog’s breakfast so have removed for now.
Western anti-meridian queries are now handled (Issue #12). Removed unused asset from stacit().
Fix: update nsidc_seaice to version 4.0, #14.
Accept MGRS code (precision 0) for stacit extent.
Fast CGAZ.
Fixed nsidc_seaice() for monthly.
Add Swiss topo as a GTI file.
Added GHRSST COGs .
Added GEBCO 2024.
Now more robust handling of date inputs for stacit().
New source usgs_seamless() elevation from the US.
CGAZ_sql() now works with no arguments, and returns a general query useable by vapour_read_geometry() and friends.
