- Hotfix to address failing vignette to prevent package being archived by CRAN team.
- Bug fix. Resolved an issue with ordering
zip_distance() results (Pull request contributed by Nicholas X Lee).
- This update vectorizes the
zip_distance() function to allow distance calculations between two vectors or columns of ZIP codes. The function now returns a data.frame of the resulting distance calculation.
-
zip_distance() now includes an additional argument, units, which allows selection between miles and meters for distance calculations.
-
zip_code_db has been updated.
-
download_zip_data() has been refactored to make data updates more easily accessible and compare against existing data. Data is now directly downloaded from the upstream source and the existing data GitHub repository will no longer be updated.
-
zip_distance() has been updated to allow changing the type of distance calculation performed if specified via the lonlat argument.
- Citation data is now included with package. If using zipcodeR in a publication, you can obtain citation info by running
citation("zipcodeR").

- Added
search_radius() function to allow searching for ZIP codes around a radius of lat / lon coordinates.
