Changes in version 0.2.0 (2026-06-02)                  

New features and improvements

  - UDS Mapper crosswalk data (2009–2022) is now bundled with the
    package, eliminating the runtime network dependency on an external
    GitHub repository
  - Partial support for 2024 TIGRIS year: zi_list_zctas() accepts 2024
    in its valid range, and zi_get_geometry() accepts the argument but
    aborts with an informative message until internal data is rebuilt in
    a future release
  - Deprecated parameter aliases input_zip and dict in zi_crosswalk()
    with backwards-compatible support until early 2027
  - @examplesIf guards replace \donttest{}/\dontrun{} wrappers in all
    network-dependent and API-key-dependent examples
  - Minimum R version set to 4.1

Bug fixes

  - Resolved several input validation gaps across zi_aggregate(),
    zi_crosswalk(), zi_convert(), zi_get_geometry(),
    zi_get_demographics(), zi_load_crosswalk(), zi_load_labels(),
    zi_load_labels_list(), zi_prep_hud(), zi_repair(), and zi_validate()
  - Fixed a number of incorrect column references, variable scoping
    errors, and unsafe dispatch patterns identified during a code
    quality audit
  - Replaced live Census API calls in tests with local fixtures so R CMD
    check passes on CRAN without a Census API key
  - Normalized non-standard column names in the 2015 UDS crosswalk

Dependency changes

  - Dropped purrr, spatstat.univar, stringr, httr, readr, and tidyr from
    Imports
  - Added httr2 (>= 1.0.0) to Imports

                 Changes in version 0.1.2 (2025-04-25)                  

  - Address issues with Census Bureau API being offline

                 Changes in version 0.1.1 (2025-02-25)                  

  - Updates to README.md and NEWS.md to reflect the fact that the
    package is now on CRAN
  - Resolve R CMD check issue where examples in zi_crosswalk and
    zi_load_crosswalk fail on CI because a HUD key is not available to
    them
  - Fail informatively if tigris is not working due to U.S. Census
    Bureau servers being unavailable. At this time TigerWeb is not used
    as a backup due to the limited availability of ZCTA data

                 Changes in version 0.1.0 (2024-07-14)                  

  - Initial CRAN submission version that contains functionality for
    working with UDS and HUD ZIP Code crosswalk files as well as Census
    Bureau ZCTA geometries and demographic data
