icesConnect 1.2.0 (2026-10-20)

• tokens are now created by logging in at https://data.ices.dk/token, which uses two-factor authentication. Tokens can no longer be requested from R using a username and password, and can not be refreshed from R. This removes the token request code that caused the errors reported in #2 and addressed by #3.
• add function set_token() to store a token copied from https://data.ices.dk/token. A username is no longer needed, and set_username() now does nothing except print a message (#5).
• ices_token() now explains how to get a new token, and gives the expiry date when the stored token has expired.
• the token file is now only readable by the user.
• bugfix: decode_token() could fail on valid tokens, as the token payload is base64url encoded. decode_token() now warns and returns an empty list for tokens that can not be decoded.
• request functions now fail gracefully: if the request can not be made (for example, no internet connection), a message is given and NULL is returned. ices_get() and ices_post() also return NULL, rather than trying to parse the response, when the server returns an error status (#6).
• the messages for HTTP 401 and 403 responses now point to https://data.ices.dk/token.
• remove dependency on askpass
