Release taxize v0.9.93 · ropensci/taxize

use_eol() is now defunct; EOL no longer requires an API key (#749) (#803) thanks @padpadpadpad

http to https upgrades for the following functions: vascan_search(), taxize_cite(), all *_ping() functions, get_wormsid(), get_pow(), get_eolid(), get_gbifid(), get_boldid(), gbif_name_usage(); and in various places in documentation (#799)

classification.uid() now does batch HTTP requests. NCBI Entrez web service allows requests with up to 50 identifiers; @zachary-foster did the work to make this method now use batch queries so its much faster (#678) (#798)
class2tree() improvement in taxonomy rank indexing (#805) work by @trvinh
fix to description of taxon_state_messages parameter in the taxize_options help file (#806)
taxize package datasets now loaded into a package environment (#792)

ncbi_children() now accepts numeric and character class ids (#800)
fix classification.gbifid(), was failing because GBIF changed the order of results (#802)
class2tree() fix: problem was due ultimately to a bug in classification.gbifid() (see line above) (#801)
tax_rank() fix - for db="ncbi" was not giving correct ranks for queried names - was due to a change in classification.uid (#804)
fix bug in get_eolid() when filtering by data source lead to no results (#808)
fix for ncbi_downstream (and thereby fix for downstream() with db="ncbi"): for some taxa a query to NCBI resulted in children as well the queried name itself, and the next query would give the same results, leading to an endless while loop - now we remove the taxon itself that was queried to prevent this (#807)
