EDIutils 3.0.1 (2026-08-19)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Migrated the test suite and VCR cassette fixtures to the PASTA staging environment (https://pasta-s.lternet.edu), preventing test pollution on the production repository.
  • Enhanced entity and descendant tests to dynamically resolve entity IDs and derived package identifiers at runtime.
  • Added configurable request throttling (EDI_TEST_THROTTLE_DELAY, default 2s in CI) for live HTTP test requests to prevent HTTP 429 rate limit errors.
  • Configured VCR cassette mocks for read_data_package_archive().
  • Refactored test-only helper functions into tests/testthat/helper-test-package.R to keep package runtime namespace clean and modular.
  • Updated GitHub Actions CI workflows with sequential execution (max-parallel: 1), request throttling, and workflow_dispatch manual triggers.

EDIutils 3.0.0 (2026-07-27)

BREAKING CHANGES

• Transitioned all API wrapper functions to support mandatory authenticated access using EDI-API keys. Direct httr request verbs are now centralized through internal wrappers (api_get(), api_post(), api_put(), api_delete()) that append the API key as a query parameter (?key=) when the environment variable EDI_API_KEY is present.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Updated login() to support API key authentication via a new key parameter, credentials configuration file, or interactive console prompt.
  • Updated logout() to unset the EDI_API_KEY environment variable.
  • Enhanced skip_if_logged_out() to support running authenticated tests with the EDI_API_KEY, while skipping computationally heavy tests unless the environment variable RUN_ALL_TESTS is explicitly set to "true".
  • Updated package vignettes and README.Rmd documentation with API key authentication details and usage examples.

EDIutils 2.1.0 (2026-05-06)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Gracefully handle deprecation of the auth-token

EDIutils 2.0.0 (2026-01-09)

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Deprecate get_audit_report() in favor of get_audit_csv_report() (#62)
  • Defunct create_dn(). This introduces a breaking change for list_principal_owner_citations() and list_user_data_packages(), which now require an EDI-ID instead of a Distinguished Name (DN). Users can obtain their EDI-ID by logging into the EDI Identity and Access Manager and copying the "EDI-ID" from their profile home page. (#65)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Update authentication to support new EDI IAM system (#60)

EDIutils 0.0.0.9004

BUG FIXES

• Fixed parsing bug in read_data_entity_names() (#38)

EDIutils 0.0.0.9003

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Completed implementation of reviewer recommendations (version 0.0.0.9002 was incomplete). Some suggested changes have been added as project issues and will be incorporated in a future release (see https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/498#issuecomment-1064787189)

EDIutils 0.0.0.9002

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Implemented reviewer recommendations (see https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/498)

EDIutils 0.0.0.9001

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Implement rOpenSci http testing recommendations. Based on https://books.ropensci.org/http-testing/index.html
  • Use vcr to mock http requests
  • Run tests with real http requests via GitHub Actions on a monthly schedule and on push and pull requests to the main branch
  • Update code coverage badge on the main branch when tests use real http requests
  • Precompute all examples and vignettes

EDIutils 0.0.0.9000

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS

• EDIutils has undergone a major refactor for submission to rOpenSci and CRAN. This new and improved version covers the full data repository REST API, handles authentication more securely, better matches API call and result syntax, improves documentation, and opens the door for development of wrapper functions to support common data management tasks.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• In the process of this refactor the function names and call patterns have changed and several functions supporting other EDI R packages have been removed, thereby creating back compatibility breaking changes with the previous major release (version 1.6.1). The previous version will be available until 2022-06-01 on the deprecated branch. Install the previous version with:

  remotes::install_github("ropensci/EDIutils", ref = "deprecated")
