High-Performance GPS to GTFS Converter

gps2gtfs spent a release making its docs stop describing functions it does not have.

Current state
gps2gtfs converts raw GPS traces into GTFS transit feeds, with a Rust backend behind the R interface. The only entry on record is 0.3.2, an explicitly documentation-only release: the trip extraction functions stop claiming to read CSV files when their own parameter docs always said data.frame or path, the bundled stop and terminal datasets state their Kandy, Sri Lanka provenance, and titles are normalized to sentence case.
Where it's heading
One entry is not a trend, but the release is unusually precise about its own boundaries, stating outright that no behavior, signature, or return value changed and citing 533 passing tests from a clean detached clone with the specific CI job numbers. That level of provenance in a documentation patch suggests a maintainer treating the package as something others audit.
Prediction
There is not enough history here to predict a direction. The Rust backend is the notable structural detail, and whether it expands is the question the next release will answer.

    Documentation corrected for trip extraction functions

    A documentation-only release stating plainly that no behavior, signature, or return value changed. The trip extraction functions stop claiming to read CSVs, the bundled datasets gain their Sri Lanka provenance, and titles are made consistent.
