arcpbf 0.3.0 (2026-08-21)

• Updates to the current Esri FeatureCollection.proto, which adds the esriFieldTypeBigInteger, esriFieldTypeDateOnly, esriFieldTypeTimeOnly, and esriFieldTypeTimestampOffset field types. Previously these were all read as small integers.
  • esriFieldTypeDateOnly fields are now returned as Date instead of POSIXct.
  • esriFieldTypeTimestampOffset fields are now returned as POSIXct in UTC instead of NA. The original offset is not kept.
  • esriFieldTypeTimeOnly fields are now returned as character (e.g. "14:35:00.927") instead of NA.
  • esriFieldTypeBigInteger fields are now returned as doubles.
• esriFieldTypeXML fields are now returned as character instead of an empty list with an unsupported field type message.
• esriFieldTypeSmallInteger and esriFieldTypeInteger fields are no longer classed as POSIXct when every value is a date string. Non-numeric strings in these fields are NA. This removes the workaround for https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/arcgislayers/issues/211, which was caused by date-only fields being misread as small integers.
• Explicit null values sent by newer services are now read as NA.
• Extent results (returnExtentOnly = true) are now returned as a named numeric vector of class pbf_extent, with sr and count attributes. post_process_pbf() converts them to an sf bbox.

• Improves error handling when encountering parse errors.
• Adds support for Windows ARM https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/arcpbf/pull/20 @jeroen
• Integer fields are no longer classed as dates when a value arrives as a string. The whole column was stamped POSIXct while its values stayed raw, so 34 rendered as 1969-12-31 17:00:34 https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/arcgislayers/issues/211

arcpbf 0.2.0 (2025-10-22)

• Fixes bug where datasets with CRSs within the ESRI authority would be returned with missing CRSs when converted to sf objects.
• Adds support for 64 bit integers closing https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/arcpbf/issues/15 h/t to @jjoeldaniel for reporting.

arcpbf 0.1.7 (2025-04-10)

• Fixes bug where an error occured when a query returned no rows https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/arcpbf/issues/8
