        * DESCRIPTION (Version): 0.2-3

        * R/functions.R (datasets): rewrite function to at
        least provide names of CSV files

2024-01-31  Enrico Schumann  <es@enricoschumann.net>

        * Scripts/tests.R: add test script

        * R/functions.R (fetch_dataset): change root URL
        from "https://www.bis.org/statistics/" to
        "https://data.bis.org/bulkdownload/" to accommodate
        bulk downloads of datasets -- the BIS has announced
        to no longer provide the datasets at
        https://www.bis.org/statistics/full_data_sets.htm
        from January 2024

        * DESCRIPTION (Version): 0.2-2

        * R/functions.R (fetch_dataset,process_dataset): add
        'zoo' support for dataset central-bank policy rates
        "full_cbpol_d_csv_row.zip"

        * DESCRIPTION (Version): 0.2-1

2022-10-10  Enrico Schumann  <es@enricoschumann.net>

        * R/functions.R (fetch_dataset): the function
        gains several arguments, such as 'header' and
        'sep', which define the default settings for
        'read.table'. Further arguments can, as before, be
        passed via "...".

        The default setting for argument 'quote' now is
        "\"", which fixes the parsing of datasets such as
        'full_spp_csv.zip' that use double-quoted elements;
        thanks to Matthias Meiksner for reporting the
        issue on GitHub

        * DESCRIPTION (Version): 0.2-0

2022-06-20  Enrico Schumann  <es@enricoschumann.net>

        * R/functions.R (fetch_dataset,process_dataset):
        add 'zoo' support for dataset "full_xru_csv.zip";
        'fetch_dataset' gains an argument 'frequency'

2022-06-19  Enrico Schumann  <es@enricoschumann.net>

        * R/functions.R (process_dataset): use
        'read.table(fill = TRUE, ...)' for reading datasets
        (fetch_dataset, process_dataset): add 'zoo'
        support for dataset "full_xru_d_csv_row.zip"

2022-03-07  Enrico Schumann  <es@enricoschumann.net>

        * DESCRIPTION (Version): 0.1-1

        * R/functions.R (datasets,fetch_dataset): if
        downloads fail, the functions now return NULL

2021-11-20  Enrico Schumann  <es@enricoschumann.net>

        * R/functions.R: export functions 'datasets'
        and 'fetch_dataset'; remove "csv" from names as
        apparently not all full datasets are in CSV
        format
        (process_dataset): add support for transforming
        datasets into 'zoo' series
        (datasets): return "filename", "description"
        and date of last "update"

        * README.org: add README
