About nominatimlite
nominatimlite's real work was self-hosting and caching; 0.6.0 is an internal refactor with no API change
nominatimlite is a dependency-light R client for the Nominatim geocoding API, returning results as plain data frames or sf objects. The features that define it landed in 0.4.0 — structured queries, local Nominatim server support, and JSONV2 output — and 0.5.0 added session-scoped caching plus a 1.2-second inter-request delay to stay within the public API's usage policy. 0.6.0 in June 2026 changed no public behaviour.
