0.17.0 - 2016-08-23

Changed

0.13.0 - 2016-08-18

Added

  • There is now an Everypolitician::Index class which can be instantiated with a url pointing to a countries.json file. This replaces the need to globally set a url via Everypolitician.countries_json=.

    • You can get a list of all countries via the Everypolitician::Index#countries method.

Added

  • Searches by slug for a Country or a Legislature are now case insensitive

0.10.0 - 2016-08-04

  • TheLegislature#lastmod attribute now returns a Time object instead of just a string with the time in seconds.

0.8.0 - 2016-07-26

Added

  • There is now a Legislature#statement_count method for returning the statement count of a legislature, which corresponds to the statement_count field in the legislatures of a country coming from the data in countries_json.

0.7.0 - 2016-06-21

Added

  • There is now a Legislature.directory method for returning the directory path under data where the raw data on everypolician data can be found

Added

  • There is now a LegislativePeriod class to represent each legislative period in a legislature. This has a #csv method to return a parsed version of the legislative periods CSV.
  • You can now call Legislature#country to get the country for a legislature. Similarly you can call LegislativePeriod#country or LegislativePeriod#legislature to get the related objects.

0.5.0 - 2016-01-27

Added

  • Everypolitician.countries method for returning an array of all countries.

  • Legislature#popolo_url now uses the Legislature#sha method rather than master in the raw url.
  • countries.json is only loaded once, when it’s first accessed. If you want to force a refetch then you can call Everypolitician.countries = nil.
