log history of r5r package development

# r5r v0.7.0
# r5r v0.6.0
Major changes
- Updated R5 to version 6.4. Closes #182.
- Significant performance improvements in all functions, due to a faster method for consolidating outputs. Closes #180
- New function transit_network_to_sf(), to extract the public transport network from R5 as simple features. Closes #179
- New progress parameter in the accessibility(), travel_time_matrix, and detailed_itineraries() functions, to show or hide the progress counter indicator. Closes #186
- Created new support function java_to_dt() and removed dependency on the jdx package. Closes #206
- Reduced r5r’s internet dependency quite considerably. Internet is now only required to download the latest R5 jar if it hasn’t been downloaded before. Closes #197.
- Added two new parameters breakdown and breakdown_stat to the travel_time_matrix(). This allows users to breakdown the travel time information by trip subcomponents (access time, waiting time, traveling time etc). It allows one to extract more information but it makes computation time slower. Closes #194
Minor changes
- New setup_r5() parameter, overwrite, that forces the building of a new network.dat, even if one already exists. - Improved documentation of parameter departure_datetime to clarify the parameter must be set to local time. Closes #188 - Improved documentation regarding personalized LTS values. Closes #190. - Improved documentation of transit_network_to_sf() regarding stops that are not snapped to road network. Closes #192. - Improved documentation of max_walking_dist and max_cycling_dist parameters. Closes #193. - Started raising an error if the CRS of origins/destinations is not WGS 84. Closes #201.

r5r v0.5.0

Major changes - New function accessibility() to calculate access to opportunities. Closes #169

Minor changes - The street_network_to_sf() now has a more clean output when the provided GTFS covers a larger area than the street network pbf. Closes #173

Bug fixes - Fixed bug that prevented r5r from running without internet connection. Closes #163.

# r5r v0.4-0
# r5r v0.3-3
Major changes - New vignette to calculate and visualize isochrones. - New vignette to calculate and visualize accessibility. - Significant performance increase in detailed_itineraries() when shortest_path = TRUE. Closes #153. - Paper on the r5r package published on Findings. Closes #108.
Minor changes - travel_time_matrix() and detailed_itineraries() now output more detailed messages in the console, when verbose = TRUE. This shall make debugging the package much easier. - Improved documentation of travel_time_matrix(). Closes #149. - Checks origins/destinations inputs to make sure they have and id column. Closes #154.
Bug fixes - Fixed introductory vignette to list only files that are included in the package installation. Closes #111. - Fixed conflict with {geobr} package when downloading metadata. Closed #137. - Fixed a bug when when parsing date and time from departure_datetime in detailed_itineraries() and travel_time_matrix(). Closes #147. Bug fixes - Fixed a bug in detailed_itineraries() that caused a crash when the shape of a route in the input GTFS is broken. Closes #145

r5r v0.3-2

Minor changes - r5r does not save the medatada file in the package directory anymore, following CRAN’s policies. Closed #136.


r5r v0.3-1

Minor changes - Allow for combination of bicycle and public transport. Closed #135. - Added new parameter mode_egress to routing functions, so that users can explicitly set the transport mode used after egress from public transport (walk, car or bicycle). Closed #63. - Allow for using the r5r package off-line, provided the user has successfully ran setup_r5() before.


r5r v0.3-0

Major changes - Added Conveyal’s R5 repo as a git submodule. This will help improve the long term integration between r5r and R5. Closed #105. - Internal changes to make r5r compatible with R5 latest version 6.0.1.

Minor changes - Added columns with population and number of schools in sample data set of Porto Alegre to allow for accessibility examples. Closed #128. - The percentiles parameter in the travel_time_matrix function now only accepts up to 5 cut points due to changes in R5.


r5r v0.2-1

Minor changes * Expanded number of routes in the sample GTFS for Porto Alegre, allowing for more complex/realistic examples. * Fixes format of columns of the output of travel_matrix_function when the user sets time_window parameter. Closes #127. * Remove repeated bus route alternatives from the output from detailed_itineraries * Explicitly link destination points to street network before starting. Closes #121


r5r v0.2-0

Major changes

Minor changes * Added a sample of frequency-based GTFS for Sao Paulo. Closed #116 * Improved documentation of routing functions adding more info on the routing algorithms used in R5. Closes #114


r5r v0.1-1

Minor changes * Fixed issues with time zone when setting departure times * Fixed issues to address CRAN checks * Now r5r can be installed on R (>= 3.6) * Appropriate hyperlinks indocumentation * Metadata is now downloaded from https:// server
