censusindia 0.2.0

• First CRAN release.

Breaking changes

• Census boundaries and seven large tables are no longer installed with the package. They are downloaded on first use, checked against a pinned MD5 checksum and cached in census_cache_dir(); clear_census_cache() removes them. The tables are now functions, so census_2011_workers becomes census_2011_workers(). The same applies to census_2011_demographics(), census_2011_marginal_detail(), census_2011_mother_tongue(), census_2011_subdistrict_languages(), population_projections_district_age() and population_projections_district_lgd_age().

Other changes

• census_download() fetches every remote file at once, with a progress bar. Checksums and version directories live in inst/manifest.csv.
• clear_geometry_cache() also releases downloaded tables held in memory.
• plot_map() now reports a failed boundary download instead of drawing the map without its base layer.
• at_level() documents and accepts any table with a level column, including census_1981.

censusindia 0.1.2

• Population projection tables checked cell by cell against the printed MoHFW and IIPS reports.
• Boundary files shipped gzipped.
