Changelog

Move package {KSgeneral} to Suggests (#103). This avoids package breaking when {KSgeneral} is not available on CRAN. For the moment not taking further measures to protect against it, as the package is currently back on CRAN.

Fixed non-working get_xg3() and get_chem() for dataframe input, by avoiding the currently defunct dbplyr::db_drop_table() (#89, 08bc66d).
Various maintenance (#81, #86, #87, #88, c382499).

This release has been made compatible with dbplyr 2.0.0 (on CRAN); the dbplyr fork is not needed anymore (e66e58f, #74).
- Follow the installation procedure on the homepage (readme) to upgrade.
- Lazy results of get_locs(), get_xg3() and get_chem() are not sorted anymore. Sorting is done in tibbles only, i.e. if collect = TRUE. For more information, consult the Note added in the documentation of these functions.
Fix broken selectlocs_xg3() and selectlocs_chem() (#73).
Fix get_locs() error when no locations remain after spatial masking (c96421e).
Fix get_locs() error when obswell_aggr = "mean" (#80).
Adopt further inbodb functionality (#75):
- re-export its dbDisconnect();
- transfer handling of character encoding to inbodb.
Improve documentation and pkgdown website (#76, #77, 3986b4e).

New function cluster_locs() to spatially cluster locations (well clusters) (#39)
More fun with get_locs():
- optionally allow groundwater piezometers with missing filterdepth (argument filterdepth_na)
- optionally replace missing filterdepth values in a conservative way, based on tubelength (argument filterdepth_guess, #44)
- return eight more observation well attributes beside filterdepth (#44)
- four methods are available to aggregate observation well attributes per location (argument obswell_aggr, #44)
- applying a spatial mask is now a little speedier (#57)
as_points() and get_locs() return a warning when duplicated coordinates occur in their local result (#51, thanks @w-jan)
Package dependency moved from inborutils to inbodb: this is a change within connect_watina() which should not affect its behaviour and which reduces overall package dependencies.

Further, a number of smaller fixes and enhancements were made.

Documentation is now generated by the newer roxygen2 version 7.0.2, resulting in a better layout of function arguments in the ‘usage’ section.

On Windows, the functions now convert ‘weird’ characters from the database to proper UTF-8.
Bugfix (#29) in get_locs() regarding the default implementation of the loc_validity argument.

Fixed bug in some hyperlinks in function documentation, affecting the installation process on Windows (warnings were thrown).

Several functions have been added to query and process chemical data.
Three vignettes have been added.
Improved various existing functionalities from version 0.1.0, based on user’s feedback.

watina 0.4.2 (2023-09-15)
