Changes in version 1.7.0                        

  - Functions labelise()/labelize(), cl(), unlabelise()/unlabelize(),
    label() and label<-() are moved from here to svBase.

                        Changes in version 1.6.1                        

  - The $.subsettable_type() method is now in {svMisc}.

                        Changes in version 1.6.0                        

  - Now the default object returned by read() is a data.trame object.

  - The read() function now uses data.table::fread() and
    data.table::fwrite() for CSV and TSV files instead of the {readr}
    function. Consequently, {data.table} and {R.utils} (that
    {data.table} uses to read compressed CSV/TSV data) are now also
    imported. The previous readr::read_csv() and readr::write_csv()
    functions are now accessible with type csv_alt. Idem for types
    csv2_alt and tsv_alt.

                        Changes in version 1.5.1                        

  - License changed to MIT for better and wider use.

                        Changes in version 1.5.0                        

  - .DollarNames() implemented for read() and write() function, so that
    there is a completion list of the acceptable types.

  - as_dataframe.dataframe() and as_dataframe.list(), argument validate=
    is replaced by .name.repair= according to changes made in
    {tibble} 3.0 where the validate= argument is defunct now.

  - {palmerpenguins} penguins and penguins_raw data sets included (en
    and fr versions). The code of read() had to be patched because
    data(penguins) loads both penguins and penguins_raw, but
    data(penguins_raw) produces an error (sic!)

  - The {datasets} ChickWeight, failthful, ToothGrowth are now
    translated (en and fr versions).

  - The data sets Penicillin and sleepstudy from {lme4} are now
    translated (en and fr versions).

  - The data sets babynames, applicants, births, and lifetables from
    {babynames} are now translated (en and fr versions).

                        Changes in version 1.4.1                        

  - There was a conflict in attributing units with the {units} package.
    So, when this package was loaded, units(x) <- value when x is
    numeric became a unitsobject treated by {units}. We don't want this,
    so, the previous code is replaced by attr(x, "units") <- value to
    avoid this clash.

                        Changes in version 1.4.0                        

  - Dependency to {svBase} added. Now the default_dtx() function is used
    to output a data frame object in the user-preferred class
    (data.frame, data.table or tibble tbl_df) with read().

  - The dataframe object class is deprecated. Consequently, read() does
    not output dataframe objects any more and as_dataframe() or
    is_dataframe() and similar functions are also deprecated. The
    as_dataframe= argument of read() is also deprecated now.

  - There is now a list completion for read$<tab> and write$<tab>.

  - The read() function can now download a file directly for all types
    (previously, only for functions that accepted it internally, like
    readr::read_csv() but not for readxl::read_xls() for instance). The
    cache_file= argument allows to define a file to cache this download.
    If the file exists, the data are not redownloaded again, except if
    force = TRUE.

                        Changes in version 1.3.1                        

  - Example using .csv.tar and .csv.tar.gz are eliminated because more
    recent readr::read_csv() function does not seem to handle Tar
    archives anymore (observed with {readr} version 2.1.2).

                        Changes in version 1.3.0                        

  - as.dataframe(table_object) was broken with 'tibble' 3.0.0. Now we
    use a different code to convert table objects into tibble/dataframe.

  - Rework of sources and 'pkgdown' web site added.

  - A new argument data= synonym to file= is added. It makes more sense
    for datasets loaded from packages.

  - First argument of write() is now named data= for coherence.

  - For the mauna_loa dataset, calls to tidyr::gather() (deprecated) are
    replaced by tidyr::pivot_longer().

                        Changes in version 1.2.2                        

  - The example iris_sidecar.csv.R wrongly referred to data::read()
    instead of data.io::read().

                        Changes in version 1.2.1                        

  - The French translation for the trees dataset had no as_labelled()
    argument.

                        Changes in version 1.2.0                        

  - It is now possible to specify the default language to use for read()
    with the option data.io-lang.

  - lang and lang_encoding are now recorded as attributes of the comment
    of the imported object.

                        Changes in version 1.1.0                        

  - A basic version of write() is now available.

  - data_types() function added to easily get information about data
    types that can be used with read() or write().

  - Description added into read_write options.

                        Changes in version 1.0.1                        

  - Bug corrected: forgot to change data -> data.io in read_write
    options.

                        Changes in version 1.0.0                        

First version of the package on Github.
