Changes in version 0.2.0 (2026-06-01)                  

New features

  - Added dep_set_api_key() for easier Census API key management —
    checks for an explicit key, then the CENSUS_API_KEY env var, and
    prompts interactively if neither is found
  - Added a "Getting Started" vignette covering all supported indices,
    sample data workflows, and spatial output

Dependency changes

  - Removed stringr, english, tibble, and tidyselect from Imports,
    reducing hard dependencies from 14 to 10
  - Bumped minimum R version to 4.4

Improvements

  - Error messages now use cli formatting (tidyverse-style) instead of
    base stop()/warning()/message()
  - Internal code quality improvements: extracted shared helpers,
    reduced nesting, and removed code duplication across SVI/NDI
    processing
  - Expanded test suite with 350+ new assertions covering all exported
    functions and core internals

Bug fixes

  - Fixed territory (e.g., Puerto Rico) FIPS code validation in
    dep_get_index() — was incorrectly comparing abbreviations instead of
    FIPS codes
  - Fixed pkgdown site build failure caused by docs/ directory conflict

                 Changes in version 0.1.0 (2025-01-29)                  

  - Initial CRAN submission.
