tidygapminder 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2026-05-16

Breaking changes

  • tidy_bunch(): the merge parameter has been renamed to combine to avoid shadowing base::merge(). Update any existing calls accordingly.
  • tidy_indice() is deprecated in favour of the correctly spelled tidy_index(). It still works but will emit a deprecation warning. It will be removed in a future release.

New features

  • tidy_index() and tidy_bunch() now return tibbles instead of plain data frames.
  • tidy_bunch() now returns a named list (named after each indicator file) when combine = FALSE.
  • tidy_bunch() now supports .xls files in addition to .csv and .xlsx.
  • Both functions now emit informative error messages for missing files, missing directories, unsupported file extensions, and empty directories.
  • Year coercion to numeric now emits a warning if any values cannot be converted.

Internal changes

  • Migrate CI from Travis/AppVeyor to GitHub Actions.
  • Drop support for R < 4.1.0.
  • Upgrade to testthat 3rd edition with expanded test coverage.
  • Replace readr::read_csv() with base read.csv() and tidyr::pivot_longer() with base reshape(), removing both readr and tidyr from dependencies. Package now depends only on readxl and tibble.
  • pkgdown site upgraded to Bootstrap 5.
