• fix notes and warnings from CRAN package check results (#195)

ckanr v0.6.0

NEW FEATURES

• parameter http_method gained in resource_create(), package_update(), and package_patch(); it's passed to as.ckan_package() internally, but does not affect the HTTP request for the main point of the function (#163) thanks @hannaboe
• gains new function organization_purge() to purge an organization (which requires sysadmin) (#166) thanks @nicholsn

• extras now passed in HTTP request in package_create() as a top level part of the request body rather than as a named extras element (#158) thanks @galah
• change in ckan_fetch(): now when a zip file has a subdirectory an NA is returned rather than character(0) (#164)
• change in the ... parameter in ckan_fetch(): was used to pass through curl options to the http request but now is used to pass through additional parameters to either read.csv, xml2::read_xml, jsonlite::fromJSON, sf::st_read(), read.table(), or readxl::read_excel (#165)
• updated docs for package_create() and group_create() - change groups parameter description to explain what kind of input is expected (#168)

ckanr v0.5.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• replace httr with crul throughout package (#86) (#151)
• use markdown for docs (#148)
• package_patch(), package_show(), package_activity_list(), package_delete(), package_update(), and related_create() now pass on key parameter value to as.ckan_package internally; same for resource_create() and resource_show(), but passed to as.ckan_resource() (#145) (#146)
• servers() gains two additional CKAN urls (#155)
• package_show() called as.ckan_package() within it, which itself calls package_show() - fixed now (#127)

BUG FIXES

• fix for print.ckan_package: wasn't handling well results from package_search() that had a named list of locale specific results (#152)

• fix ckan_fetch() examples that weren't working (#134) by @sharlagelfand
