namegender 0.7.1

• First release on CRAN. Package metadata only: a named maintainer, the ‘NameGender’ web service quoted and linked in the description, and NameGender listed as copyright holder. No change to the functions.

namegender 0.7.0

• New ng_name_check() and ng_name_check_bulk() say whether a name typed into a form looks like a real person’s name: assessment ("plausible", "suspicious", "implausible"), score (0-100), signals and evidence. It never calls a name fake; use it to flag records, not to reject people automatically. Surnames are judged by their shape only. One credit per name.

namegender 0.6.0

• New ng_salutation() and ng_salutation_bulk() return a ready-made salutation (formal, informal, neutral) for a name, in 16 languages and regional variants. One credit per name. When the gender is not certain the neutral form is used; form and reason say why. best_guess and ai_fallback do not apply and are not accepted.

namegender 0.5.0

• ng_name(), ng_email(), ng_username() and ng_bulk() take locale and ip as country hints when country is not given (priority country > locale > ip). Responses carry country_source; for ng_bulk() it is on the envelope, not on each row.
