Versioning

Releases will be numbered with the following semantic versioning format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor
  and patch)
• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor
  (and resets the patch)
• Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch

textreadr 0.6.0 - 0.7.0

BUG FIXES

• read_dir did not handle errored readins correctly resulting in an R error.

NEW FEATURES

• read_document picks up an explicit skip, remove.empty, and trim
  argument like the other read_ functions.

• read_rtf added to the document forms that can be parsed. This relies on the
  striprtf package as a backend. read_document and read_transcript pick
  up the ability to read rich text format as well.

MINOR FEATURES

• as_transcript added for coercion of internal strings to transcript. This
  function adds the ability to call out the person variable via a regex. For
  example one may split after all caps as the leading string.

• read_dir and read_dir_transcript pick up an ignore.case function for pattern.
  Pattern becomes more powerful in that it was moved outside of the dir command
  via a grep call.

textreadr 0.4.0 - 0.5.1

BUG FIXES

• The README.md called for ex_ functions from qdapRegex. This was the dev
  version of qdapRegex. This is now the CRAN version and now works for users.

NEW FEATURES

• read_html added for reading in the text from the body of .html documents.
  read_document inherits this ability as well.

MINOR FEATURES

• The low level read functions all now have consistent arguments: skip,
  remove.empty, & trim to make their use more interoperable.

IMPROVEMENTS

• textreadr no longer uses the antiword program directly, instead the
  R antiword package is called for read_doc. This makes installation across
  operating systems more standardized.

CHANGES

• The logo has been moved to tools to conform to CRAN standards.

• read_doc's argument format is now FALSE by default rather than TRUE to
  be consistent with the other read functions.

• read_docx no longer uses the XML package but now uses xml2 as
  suggested by Jeroen Ooms (see issue #7).

textreadr 0.3.1

NEW FEATURES

• read_dir_transcript added to complement read_dir aimed at a directory of
  transcripts.

textreadr 0.0.1 - 0.3.0

This package is a collection of convenience tools for reading text documents
into R.
