rnoaa v1.0.0

NEW FEATURES

• the argo functions that were not working because of a down API are working again, see ?argo (#358)
• most of the defunct functions have been removed from the package, but are still referenced in the ?rnoaa-defunct manual file. gefs functions are still in the package as those functions may come back at some point. (#359)
• two things for arc2(): 1) now accepts more than 1 date; 2) gains new parameter box to accept a bounding box to spatially filter results (uses dplyr::filter on the data.frame of spatial data) (#351)

Documentation

Regarding the documentation site at https://docs.ropensci.org/rnoaa

• the function reference page https://docs.ropensci.org/rnoaa/reference/index.html has been improved; grouping functions by topic area and data source - for easier browsing (#360)
• a getting started vignette has been added, see the "Get Started" tab (#357)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• ghncd() (and all functions that build on ghcnd()) can now be altered to use a specific base URL for requests. See the "Base URL" section of the ?ghcnd docs (#353)
• ghcnd_splitvars() speedup, using data.table instead of dplyr for manipulation (#352) (#355)
• use tibble::as_tibble throughout package instead of dplyr::tbl_df (#354)

BUG FIXES

• fix for ghcnd_stations(): internal method get_inventory() was not creating a directory first before trying to download a file into that directory (#349) (#350)
