Changes in version 0.2.0 (2026-09-08)                  

Breaking changes

None. This is a maintainability and CRAN-preparation release.

Major changes

  - Vendored ggbump geometry functions (inst/app/R/geom_bump_vendored.R)
    to replace the GitHub-only dependency on davidsjoberg/ggbump
    (archived from CRAN 2025-12-04). Functions are prefixed with pf_
    (e.g., pf_geom_bump(), PfStatBump) to avoid conflicts. Rank-based
    bump charts now always use S-curve smoothing; the conditional
    fallback to geom_line() has been removed.

  - Vendored flag-icons SVGs (inst/app/www/flags/) to replace the
    GitHub-only flagon package. A curated subset of ~270 SVG files from
    lipis/flag-icons v7.5.0 corresponding to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes in
    the dataset are now served directly. This eliminates a GitHub-only
    dependency and provides crisper, smaller-file-size flags than the
    previous PNG-format approach.

  - Removed all GitHub-only dependencies: DESCRIPTION's Imports,
    Suggests, and Remotes: fields are now clean. All packages are
    available from CRAN.

  - Updated documentation: Comprehensive updates to AGENTS.md
    documenting vendoring rationale, attribution, and the finalized app
    architecture.

  - Added LICENSE.note: Full MIT attribution for vendored ggbump and
    flag-icons components.

Minor changes

  - DESCRIPTION: Version → 0.2.0, Date → 2026-08-25
  - flags.R: Updated to use .svg extension instead of .png
  - app.R: Removed library calls and resource path registrations for
    ggbump and flagon
  - mod_chart.R and mod_country.R: Now call pf_geom_bump() directly
    without conditional fallback
  - helpers.R: Removed has_ggbump() and has_flagon() utility functions
  - Test suite: Updated to expect .svg file extension
  - renv.lock: Refreshed to reflect removal of GitHub-only dependencies

                        Changes in version 0.1.0                        

Initial release.

  - Shiny dashboard for exploring the Reporters Without Borders (RSF)
    Press Freedom Index (2002–2025), with Map, Trends, Country, and
    About views.
  - Data is loaded live from the companion package pressfreedom.data
    rather than bundled, so the dashboard always reflects the latest
    release of the cleaned dataset.
  - run_app() launches the dashboard locally; deployed at
    https://pbaumgartner-pressfreedom.share.connect.posit.cloud/ on
    Posit Connect Cloud.
