icesDatras 1.5.4

• Fixed getDatrasUnaggregated returning HH data with DateofCalculation values in the EDOM column and DateofCalculation as NA (#63). The DATRAS download API lists EDOM and ReasonHaulDisruption in the HH header without supplying values for them; these columns are now returned as NA, with a warning.
• getDatrasUnaggregated now stops with an error if the column names and data returned by DATRAS do not match, rather than silently padding.
• Fixed getDatrasUnaggregated truncating fractional NumberAtLength values in HL data to integers (#65).
• getDatrasUnaggregated now reads fields that DATRAS defines as text as character, so codes such as the statistical rectangle "13E1" or a station "007" are no longer converted to numbers (#65). This applies whether or not fix_types is set.
• Fields with the DATRAS format "float" are now converted to numeric when fix_types is set.

icesDatras 1.5.2

• Add getDatrasFieldList, formatDatras & SetDatrasDefaults to enable type fixing of columns and application of new Datras names.
• icesDatras now enables users to set defaults options for column names and types. UseicesDatras::SetDatrasDefaults() to change the defaults
  • Set new_names=TRUE to adopt the new DATRAS naming convention
  • Set fix_types=FALSE to revert to the prior icesDATRAS behaviour (It is recommended to update your workflow rather than choosing this option)
