ropensci/rgbif: rgbif v3.7.0

There is a new rgbif maintainer: John Waller.

• derived_dataset() : New function to register a cleaned or modified dataset on GBIF for citation. (#467)
• name_backbone_checklist() : New function that takes a list, vector, or data.frame of scientific names and asynchronously matches them to the backbone. (#475)
• pred_isnull() : New predicate function that includes NULL values from a column in the download. (#489)
• occ_download.print() : Now prints out much more information including a DOI and citation. (#494)

• gbif_citation.gbif() : it is no longer considered best practice to generate a citation from occ_search() or occ_data(). We recommend occ_download() or derived_dataset() instead. (#494)

• occ_download_wait() and occ_download_meta() : now accept a class character download key directly. The keys does do not need to be class "occ_download". (#487)
• name_backbone() : now returns new columns "verbatim_name", "verabtim_genus" ect. that the user has supplied. This makes it easier for the user to track what has been matched. The verbose argument also has been un-retired. If verbose=TRUE, more results will be returned in a single data.frame. (#475)
• gbif_citation() : will now accept a download key directly.
• occ_download_get() : Does not throw an error if the data is already present and overwrite=FALSE, it will just give a warning and return the already present dataset. This allows users to run occ_download_get(key) %>% occ_download_import() multiple times without re-downloading the same file with overwrite=TRUE.
• download_predicate_dsl() : "publishingOrg" now added as a download key. (#496) key_lkup now includes GBIF-style uppercase keys as well. So pred("TAXON_KEY",212) and pred("taxonKey",212) will both work.

Wrote new articles highlighting new features and encouraging the use of occ_download() over occ_search().
