Changes in version 0.6.2 (2026-04-02)                  

Bug Fixes

  - CRAN Archive Fix: get_cache_dir() no longer writes to
    ~/.cache/R/inkaR/ during non-interactive sessions (e.g. R CMD
    check). In non-interactive environments the cache now uses tempdir()
    (cleaned up at session end), while interactive sessions continue to
    use the persistent tools::R_user_dir("inkaR", which = "cache")
    directory. This resolves the NOTE that caused the package to be
    archived on CRAN (checking for new files in some other directories).

                        Changes in version 0.6.0                        

New Features

  - Interactive Selection Wizard: Calling inkaR() without arguments now
    opens a professional CLI wizard to guide users through selecting an
    indicator, then an available spatial level, and finally a year or
    year range.
  - Analytical Multi-Indicator Downloads: Users can now pass a vector of
    IDs (e.g., c("bip", "xbev")) or enter multiple IDs in the wizard
    (separated by spaces).
  - Multi-Indicator Joins: Automatically handles the merging of multiple
    indicators.
      - format = "long" (default) stacks indicators in a tidy format.
      - format = "wide" pivots indicators into individual columns for
        direct comparison and mathematical operations.
  - Fuzzy Search Engine: Indicator selection now supports error-tolerant
    search using the stringdist package (Jaro-Winkler method).

CLI Enhancements

  - Professional Table Display: Rewrote indicator selection and search
    results using the cli package for high-end, paginated, and
    responsive terminal tables.
  - Usage History & Favorites: The package now tracks frequently and
    recently used indicators, highlighting them in green and pinning
    them to the top of selection lists.
  - Intelligent Year Selection: Implemented a professional 4-column
    layout for year selection with validated user input.

Professional Visualizations

  - Premium Themes: Introduced theme_inkaR(), a high-end ggplot2 theme
    with dedicated light and dark modes.
  - Upgraded Mapping: plot_inkar() now supports bilingual labels,
    automatic unit extraction, and professional color palettes (Viridis,
    Magma).

                 Changes in version 0.4.4 (2026-03-16)                  

  - FIXED: Added graceful handling for SSL certificate verification
    issues on specific CRAN builders (e.g., Fedora).
  - IMPROVED: Wrapped network-dependent examples in try() to ensure CRAN
    checks pass even with environment-specific network limitations.

                 Changes in version 0.4.3 (2026-03-13)                  

  - FIXED: Addressed CRAN feedback regarding single quotes in
    DESCRIPTION.
  - FIXED: Added missing \value tags to exported .Rd files (e.g.,
    clear_inkar_cache()).
  - FIXED: Replaced \dontrun{} with \donttest{} or if(interactive()) to
    ensure proper example testing.
  - FIXED: Ensured CSV exporting examples do not write to the user home
    directory (tempdir()).

                        Changes in version 0.4.2                        

Enhancements

  - Added persistent disk-caching (tools::R_user_dir) to heavily improve
    GetGebieteZumRaumbezug lookup times across sessions.
  - Implemented parallel API dispatching (httr2::req_perform_parallel)
    for exploring spatial levels, eliminating the sequential wait time.
  - Introduced plot_inkar() for native geospatial mapping with ggplot2
    and sf by directly downloading and matching GADM polygon data.

Bug Fixes

  - Fixed missing mock payloads in testthat by completely regenerating
    httptest2 records.
  - Avoided decimal conversion errors (NA) by implementing robust
    locale-agnostic numeric parsing.
  - Addressed spell checking NOTEs caught by win-builder.
