v2.3-beta

The etn package can now be used on your computer! It connects to the ETN database with an API provided by the etnservice package. All functions make use of this API by default, which may result in slower response times. To use the previous method of directly connecting to the database (only possible when working on the LifeWatch RStudio Server), set api = false in all functions (#280)

• The connection argument is no longer used and therefore deprecated. You will be prompted for credentials instead. Use e.g. get_animals(animal_id = 305), not get_animals(con, animal_id = 305) or get_animals(connection = con, animal_id = 305) (#301).
• connect_to_etn() is no longer necessary and therefore deprecated. All functions will create their own connection when used. If you have no credentials stored in the system environment, the functions will require you to enter them once per session (#303).
• The deprecated functions get_deployments(), get_detections(), get_projects(), get_receivers(), list_network_project_codes() are no longer included.
• write_dwc() now invisibly returns the transformed data as a list of data frames (rather than a data frame) (#302).

Full Changelog: v2.2.1...v2.3-beta

etn 2.2.1

This release consists of two small changes:

• write_dwc() now supports uppercase animal_project_codes (#289).
• Bug fix in write_dwc() where the function would return an error due to an updated dependency (#293).

etn 2.2.0

This release adds the depth_in_meters field to get_acoustic_detections() (#261), it also adds a NEWS.md page where changes in the package will be communicated.

Some further quality of life and bugfixes:

• Fix issue in download_acoustic_dataset() where some fields were missing from datapackage.json.
• Stricter unit tests (#268).

Changelog: v2.1.0...v2.2.0

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.1.0

etn 2.0.0

This releases updates the package to make use of the new model and scope of ETN. All issues covered by this release can be found here and include:

• tag_serial_number is now the primary identifier for tags. Tags can have multiple types, subtypes and sensors. Acoustic information is related to the acoustic_tag_id.
• acoustic scope remains completely covered, but is now reflected in function names. This allows us to implement additional scopes (e.g. cpod) in the future.
• Deprecations for old function names.
• New tutorial on acoustic scope (acoustic_telemetry.Rmd).
• More natural tests and near full coverage.

etn 1.0.1

Hotfixes to keep package functional with updates to the ETN database model.
