GeoLocatoR v1.2.0

Supports GeoLocator-DP v1.1, which aligns the standard with Data Package v2, and makes it the version create_gldp() writes. Packages written against any earlier version are upgraded on read, so archived packages need no rewriting.

Main

• Bundle the GeoLocator-DP v1.1 schemas and upgrade packages to v1.1.
• Match a resource schema to its file by column name. frictionless::read_resource() maps schema fields to columns by position, fieldsMatch being unimplemented (frictionless-r#216), so a CSV that legitimately left a column out read every later column under the wrong name, with no error and no warning. Reads now reconcile the schema with the CSV header first.
• Report a table missing a required column. fieldsMatch says nothing about which columns are required, so a tags table with no tag_id at all previously validated clean. validate_gldp() is therefore stricter than in v1.1.1 and may report packages it used to pass.
• Set the data resource profile on resources and mark them as tabular with type. frictionless only writes $schema and type from version 2.0, so GeoLocatoR sets them itself; without them frictionless::version() reads a resource as Data Package v1 inside a package declaring v2.

Minor

• Accept Data Package v2 tabular resources in validate_gldp(), and support v2 field types while no longer emitting an empty $schema.
• Read allowed values from categories as well as enum, GeoLocator-DP v1.1 declaring both.
• Read resource names from either profile shape, v1.1 selecting resource schemas with if/then where v1.0 used oneOf.
• Simplify fieldsMatch handling and warn on dropped columns, and add gldp_resource() accessors.

Compatibility

Addresses #38: verified against both frictionless 1.3.0 (CRAN) and 1.3.0.9000, the development version that becomes 2.0.0. The full suite passes on both, and packages written by either validate against the published GeoLocator-DP v1.1 profile. Users need change nothing.

Resources still carry profile: "tabular-data-resource" alongside $schema and type, because frictionless 1.3.0 refuses to read a resource without it. Once frictionless 2.0.0 reaches CRAN, that can be dropped and DESCRIPTION raised to frictionless (>= 2.0.0).

GeoLocatoR v1.1.1

Main

• Preserved measurement labels, magnetic acceleration axes, and saved GeoPressureR parameters when converting a data package to a tag.
• Improved GeoPressureTemplate exports by writing tabular sensor data, preserving supported saved parameters, omitting derived defaults, and using compact YAML vectors.

Minor

• Added a configurable timeout for Zenodo downloads and excluded discarded pressure-path altitudes from exported paths.
