mongolstats 0.1.1 (2026-01-26)

Patch release to fix CRAN check failures on vignette rebuilding.

Bug Fixes

• Vignette CRAN Compliance: Added NOT_CRAN guards to all vignettes to prevent code evaluation during CRAN checks. This fixes HTTP 400 errors and data-dependent failures when vignettes are rebuilt on CRAN infrastructure where external API calls may fail.

mongolstats 0.1.0 (2026-01-18)

First minor release containing significant data updates, visualization improvements, and refined documentation.

Data & Features

• Monthly Mortality Data: Switched infant mortality analysis to use monthly data (DT_NSO_2100_015V1) for 2019-2024, enabling more granular trend analysis and up-to-date regional comparisons.
• UB Air Quality: Added accurate coordinates for Ulaanbaatar air quality monitoring stations and mapped them to districts.
• Boundaries: Fixed spatial mismatches in administrative boundary names to ensure seamless joins with NSO data.

Visualization & UI

• Plot Polish: Applied publication-quality styling to all package plots, including:
  • Interactive tooltips with formatted units and rounded numbers.
  • Trend lines with confidence intervals for mortality rates.
  • Log-scaled population maps for better contrast.
  • Clean integer breaks on axes.
• Standardized Aesthetics: Consistent plot styling across all vignettes.

Documentation

• New Vignettes:
  • mortality-analysis: In-depth analysis of infant mortality trends and seasonality.
  • environmental-surveillance: Detailed examination of air and water quality monitoring coverage.
• Vignette Updates:
  • getting-started: Renamed and streamlined for new users.
  • discovery & mapping: Updated with new datasets and visualization techniques.
• Examples: Added executable examples to key functions (nso_data(), nso_itms(), mn_boundaries()).

Internal

• Cleanup: Removed legacy labels.R and unused artifacts.
• Infrastructure: Fully migrated NAMESPACE management to roxygen2 and fixed GitHub Actions workflows.
