This is a ground-up rewrite. dataseries.org now serves its data through a public
API (https://api.dataseries.org), and the package has been rebuilt around it.
The old flat series identifiers (e.g. "CCI.AIK") no longer exist, so this
release is not backward compatible.
ds(dataset, ..., from, to, class) is the new download function. The first
argument is a dataset id; dimension filters are passed as named arguments
(e.g. ds("ch_seco_gdp", type = "real", structure = "gdp")). The default
data.frame is returned in long (tidy) format; class = "ts" lays the
selected series out as columns. The xts option (and the xts dependency)
has been dropped, as all series are regular-frequency and covered by ts.ds_catalog() lists all datasets (replaces inventory()).ds_search(pattern) is a flat, searchable list of the individual series
across all datasets — the finest-grained way to discover what exists.ds_meta(dataset) returns a dataset's dimensions and codes, for discovery.inventory() is deprecated; it now warns and calls ds_catalog().cache_ls() / cache_rm() continue to manage the in-memory cache.class = "ts".inventory(), returns a data.frame with all series on
