rdracor 1.1.0

• all functions that request ‘DraCor’ API now fail gracefully: if the API is not available (no internet connection, the server is down or does not respond, error status, data that cannot be parsed), they show an informative message and return NULL instead of throwing an error
• added time limits for requests to ‘DraCor’ API: options rdracor.connect_timeout (30 s) and rdracor.timeout (600 s), see ?dracor_api
• added dracor_api_available() to check whether ‘DraCor’ API is available
• fixed dracor_api_info() failing if ‘DraCor’ API is not available
• get_dracor() requests the list of corpora once instead of twice
• examples are run only if ‘DraCor’ API is available
• tests that need ‘DraCor’ API are not run on CRAN; added tests for the behaviour of the functions without ‘DraCor’ API
• fixed tei_to_df() and get_text_df() losing the speaker (who) of verse lines wrapped in <lg>; lines with several speakers keep all their ids; tei_to_df() no longer modifies the document passed to it
• fixed plot() for cooccur_igraph and relations_igraph objects ignoring igraph arguments passed by the user (e.g. vertex.color, vertex.size); gender_colors can be given in any order; edge_size_scale = NULL works
• fixed plot() for relations_igraph objects not drawing vertices: colours were taken from the character attribute gender, which ‘DraCor’ API v1.1.0 renamed to sex (dracor-org/dracor-api#319)
• get_play_metadata(full_metadata = TRUE) uses only the metadata columns returned by the API and no longer returns normalizedGenre twice
• set_dracor_api_url() validates its argument and removes a trailing slash
• dracor_sparql() uses the host of the current ‘DraCor’ API URL
• argument validation errors (e.g. a missing play name) are no longer reported as connection problems
• TLS certificates are verified for all requests
• fixed citation("rdracor"): full list of authors of the ‘DraCor’ paper and DOI; added a citation for the package
• fixed typos in documentation; documented the format of gender_colors
• fixed plot() for cooccur_igraph objects failing or warning when a metric is 0 for every character (e.g. betweenness in a two-character play) or the play has no co-occurrences; unknown relation types are drawn in grey
• several authors of a play are separated with “;” in the attributes of network objects
• get_dracor() downloads each corpus once even if its name is repeated and no longer returns the duplicated column yearNormalizedMeta
• the updated column of get_dracor_meta() takes the UTC offset of ‘DraCor’ API timestamps into account
• invalid play or corpus arguments give a clear error message
• requests to ‘DraCor’ API identify the package with a User-Agent header
