volcanoes 0.1.1 (2026-07-11)

• Fix stale documentation for last_eruption_year: the column is numeric (negative values are BCE years) with NA for volcanoes with only undated activity — not character with "Unknown" as previously documented.

volcanoes 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN release.
• Three exported datasets — volcanoes, eruptions, and events — built from the Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program's Volcanoes of the World database (snapshot 2026-05-03), following the schema popularized by the rfordatascience/tidytuesday 2020-05-12 release.
• data-raw/build.R rebuilds the snapshot against the current GVP release; volcanoes and eruptions come from the GVP WFS endpoint, events is scraped from per-volcano pages with a local cache.
