Changes in version 0.1.6 (2025-12-10)                  

Bug Fix

Sometime around 2025-12-08, the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) added a
layer to it's website to "Verify you are a human" before hitting the
page where the data can be downloaded via hyperlinks. This caused the
download_data() function (which relies on utils::download.file()) to
fail, including in CRAN checks/builds.

To remediate this issue, Ketchbrook Analytics has replicated the files
on the FCA website (from 2000-present) in a public AWS S3 bucket.
download_data() now retrieves files from the public AWS S3 bucket
instead of the FCA website directly.
