sotkanet 0.9.77-0.9.78 (2022-02-01)

Functions pointing to external resources (sotkanet.json_query() and sotkanet.csv_query()) should now fail gracefully. New internal functions are in R/http_funs.R
New dependencies / imports: httr package for handling URLs and error messages and curl package for internet connection testing. jsonlite for handling data from json files
Http functions now include information on user agent. The default is “rOpenGov/sotkanet” to help API providers track package usage but it can be changed in relevant functions: GetDataSotkanet(), SotkanetIndicators() and SotkanetRegions().

Removed internal functions: GetDataSotkanetSingleIndicator and SotkanetData.
Removed dependency / import: rjson
Deleted unused function: base_url

Functionalities from GetDataSotkanetSingleIndicator and SotkanetData are now embedded in one function, GetDataSotkanet().
Some files in ./R/ folder have been renamed for better legibility: internal.R to SotkanetCollect.R and sotkanet.R to SotkanetRegions.R
New alias for downloading indicator metadata: SotkanetIndicatorMetadata() (usesSotkanetIndicator(id))
To help save bandwidth, when provided with a predefined list of indicators, SotkanetIndicators() now downloads metadata individually instead of fetching and subsetting the whole indicator dataset.
Vignette will no longer fetch external resources on CRAN.
Package license clarified: BSD 2-clause instead of FreeBSD
