bikedata 0.2.5

Minor changes:

store_bikedata() now has additional parameter latest_lo_stns that should generally just be left at default value, but which can be set to FALSE for truly offline use.
Update bundled version of sqlite3 from 3.28 to 3.30
minor bug fixes

Back on CRAN after being removed due to dependency (dodgr) having been removed

New co-author: Tom Buckley

Minor changes:

Bug fix for LA data which previously caused error due to invisible mac OSX system files being bundled with the distributed data
More accurate date processing for quarterly LA data

Important bug in dodgr package rectified previously bug-ridden bike_distmat() calculations (thanks Joris Klingen).
Files for Washington DC Capital Bike Share system changed from quarterly to annual dumps
One rogue .xlsx file from London now processed and read properly (among all other well-behaved .csv files).
Update bundled sqlite3: 3.21 -> 3.22

New function bike_distmat() calculates distance matrices between all pairs of stations as routed through street networks for each city.
Helper function bike_match_matrices() matches distance and trip matrices by start and end stations, so they can be directly compared in standard statistical routines.
North American Bike Share Association (NABSA) systems (currently LA and Philly) now distinguish member versus non-member based on whether usage is 30-day pass or "Walk-up".

minor changes

dl_bikedata() function also aliased to download_bikedata(), so both do the same job.
Repeated runs of store_bikedata() on pre-existing databases sometimes re-added old data. This has now been fixed so only new data are added with each repeated call.
Dates for NABSA cities (LA and Philadelphia) are given in different formats, all of which are now appropriately handled.
Internally bundled sqlite3 upgraded v3.19 -> v3.21

Database no longer automatically indexed; rather indexes must be actively generated with index_bikedata_db(). This makes multiple usages of store_bikedata() faster and easier.
store_bikedata() fixed so it only unzips files not already in database (it used to unzip them all)
Internal changes to improve consistency (mostly through using the DBI package).
