• Added argument 'taf' to taf.bootstrap().

• Added argument 'remove' to taf.libPaths().

• Added argument 'details' to taf.session().

• Changed taf.bootstrap() to skip download of files if they already exist, and skip bootstrap script if the destination folder already contains files.

• Changed taf.png() to use 'res' rather than 'pointsize', improving consistency between base, lattice, and ggplot2 plots. Code contributed by Iago Mosqueira.

CRAN release 3.4-0

• Added function is.r.package() to check if tar.gz file is an R package.

• Changed taf.bootstrap() so bootstrap/initial/config is now deprecated. Instead, model configuration files can be processed as a DATA.bib entry. Removed argument 'config'. SOFTWARE.bib is now processed before DATA.bib.

• Changed clean() so it uses clean.library() to clean bootstrap/library.

• Improved draft.data() so it detects bootstrap/*.R scripts as source files to consider. Added arguments 'access' and 'data.scripts'. Removed argument 'data.dir'. Added support for file=TRUE as shorthand for file="bootstrap/DATA.bib".

• Improved draft.software() so it first looks for packages in bootstrap/library. Added support for package="owner/repo@ref" to install package on the fly. Added support for file=TRUE as shorthand for file="bootstrap/SOFTWARE.bib".

• Improved taf.library() so it works from a bootstrap data script.

• Improved write.taf() so it gives an error if data frame contains comma.

• Added argument 'quiet' to cp().

• Added arguments 'force' and 'recon' to make().

• Added argument 'clean' to process.bib(). Renamed argument 'data.source' to 'data.scripts'.

• Added argument 'force' to taf.bootstrap().

• Improved convert.spaces() so it allows 'sep' to be any number of characters, treats %20 as space, and allows spaces in parent directories.

• Improved download() so it shaves off ?tail from the end of 'destfile', and converts spaces and %20 to underscores.

• Improved zoom() so it handles legend text size.

• Removed 'jsonlite' package dependency.

• Added function convert.spaces() to convert spaces in filenames.

• Added function sam2taf() to convert SAM tables to TAF format.

• Added argument 'quiet' to process.bib() and support for source={script} and dir={TRUE}. Removed 'bundle' field.

• Added argument 'quiet' to taf.bootstrap(). Improved taf.bootstrap() so it doesn't clean the corresponding bootstrap directories when arguments 'config', 'data', or 'software' are FALSE. Dropped support for custom bootstrap.R script, superseded by source={script}.

• Improved draft.data() so it works in R versions older than 3.5. Code contributed by Alexandros Kokkalis.

• Changed sourceTAF() so working directory is not changed before script is run.

CRAN release 3.0-0

• Added function period() to paste period string for DATA.bib entries.
• Removed argument 'name' from taf.skeleton(). The default behavior is now to create initial directories and scripts in the current working directory.
• Changed taf.library() so it loads a package instead of changing the library path.
• Changed default size of taf.png(). Changed text size in zoom() accordingly and renamed arguments. The zoom() function is now generic.
• Changed write.taf() so it gives a warning if column names are duplicated.

CRAN release 2.3-0
