• Several fixes for bugs arising from NABSA’s update to the gbfs spec (gbfs 1.1-RC)
• Improved error message for multiple cities matching the supplied string
• Accomodate valid json URLs with no .json file extension

gbfs 1.3.1 (2020-01-09)

• All package functions requiring internet access now immediately check the internet connection upon being called, raising a message and returning an empty list if an internet connection is not available.

gbfs 1.3.0 (2020-01-08)

• The main wrapper function, get_gbfs, can now return its output as a named list, where each entry is a GBFS dataframe.
• Results will now be returned by default (note that these changes are non-breaking–the new default settings would error out in previous versions, and previously valid arguments still return results in the same way.)
• Added a get_which_gbfs_feeds function, which supplies a table giving all of the available feeds for a city!
• Extended flexibility of the city argument–in addition to a string that matches the city name, the package can now find the appropriate feed given any subfeed of a bikeshare system.
• Extend argument checking.
• Make error messages more informative.
• Documentation improvements.
• Code refactoring.

gbfs 1.2.0 (2019-09-10)

• Addressed errors arising from new columns types introduced in the new NABSA GBFS guidelines.
• Added the output argument, allowing users to either save the outputs as .Rds files or return them as list or dataframe objects. As a result, the directory argument is no longer required if output = "return"
• Minor bug fixes and documentation improvements

gbfs 1.1.0 (2018-09-21)

• Thanks to Mark Padgham (@mpadge), we’ve introduced a new function get_gbfs_cities that lists all of the cities currently releasing feeds! This function will help inform users who do not have a specific city already in mind.
• Add functionality for new column types introduced in the new NABSA GBFS guidelines.
• Minor bug fixes (unused imports, vignette errors, etc.)
