ipumsr 0.6.3
-
The ability to read an IPUMS DDI file contained within a zip archive using
read_ipums_ddi()
has been deprecated. Users must now load DDI files by
providing the direct path to the uncompressed .xml file.This resolves an inconsistency between the behavior
ofread_ipums_micro_*()
functions when provided a DDI file path as compared to
anipums_ddi
object created withread_ipums_ddi()
. -
The ability to read IPUMS files by providing the path to their containing
directory has been deprecated. This affects:read_nhgis()
read_ipums_sf()
read_nhgis_codebook()
read_ipums_ddi()
ipums_list_files()
These functions now require either a zip archive (with the exception of
read_ipums_ddi()
—see above) or a direct file path as input.This has the consequence that
read_ipums_sf()
withbind_multiple = TRUE
requires a zip archive as input if multiple files are to be read and combined. -
