retrosheet 1.1.2
- Replaced kludge-y
closeAllConnections()
with close()
calls to specific connections (#1)
- Added some rudimentary data cleanup to the
get_retrosheet()
wrapper function
- Dates in retrosheet data now return date-types, everything else is converted from
chr
via the relatively aggressive type.convert()
- Removed
data.table
dependency, replaced data.table::fread()
with base::read.csv()
calls
get_retrosheet()
now returns regular old dataframes now, instead of tibbles.
- Added better handling of HTTP requests. Failed requests are now retried up to three times via
httr::RETRY()
retrosheet 1.1.1
- Added
get_retrosheet()
, a wrapper for getRetrosheet()
that takes the same arguments and returns the same data, except coercing matrices into tibbles.
- Updated tests to account for more data being added to retrosheet.org (whoops)
retrosheet 1.1.0
- Schedule scraping now expects a
*.zip
file instead of *.txt
file, to accommodate change to retrosheet.org file structure
- Added
cache
parameter to getRetrosheet(). This defaults to NA. If set to a local directory path, retrosheet data will be cached locally and re-used so as not to constantly download the same file from the retrosheet.org servers
- Fixed parsing of substitutions in games where no substitutions occurred. This is a rare edge case.
- Removed
RCurl
dependency (due to incompatibility with TLS > 1.0). Web data is now downloaded using httr
functions
- Removed
XML
dependency, replaced with xml2
and rvest
