# CHANGES TO v0.5.9
# rio 0.5.9

* Removed longstanding warnings from the tests of `export()` to fixed-width format.

# CHANGES TO v0.5.8
# rio 0.5.8

* Export the `get_ext()` function. (#169)
* Fix a bug related to an xml2 bug (#168, h/t Jim Hester)
* `import_list()` gains improved file name handling. (#164, h/t Ruaridh Williamson)
* Removed the `overwrite` argument from `export()` method for xlsx files. Instead, existing workbooks are always overwritten unless which is specified, in which case only the specified sheet (if it exists) is overwritten. If the file exists but the `which` sheet does not, the data are added as a new sheet to the existing workbook. (#156)

# CHANGES TO v0.5.7
# rio 0.5.7

* Import of files with the ambiguous .dat extension, which are typically text-delimited files, are now passed to `data.table::fread()` with a message. Export to the format remains unsupported. (#98, #155)
* Added support for export to SAS XPORT format (via `haven::write_xpt()`). (#157)
* Switched default import package for SAS XPORT format to `haven::read_xpt()` with a `haven = FALSE` toggle restoring the previous default behavior using `foreign::read.xpt()`. (#157)

# CHANGES TO v0.5.6
# rio 0.5.6

* Fixed a bug in `import()` from compressed files wherein the `which` argument did not necessarily return the correct file if >=2 files in the compressed folder.
* Tweak handling of `export()` to xlsx workbooks when `which` is specified. (#156)

# CHANGES TO v0.5.5
# rio 0.5.5

* Expanded test suite and increased test coverage, fixing a few tests that were failing on certain CRAN builds.

# CHANGES TO v0.5.4
# rio 0.5.4

* New functions `characterize()` and `factorize()` provide methods for converting "labelled" variables (e.g., from Stata or SPSS) into character or factor variables using embedded metadata. This can also be useful for exporting a metadata-rich file format into a plain text file. (#153)

# CHANGES TO v0.5.3
# rio 0.5.3

* Fixed a bug in writing to .zip and .tar archives related to absolute file paths.

# rio 0.5.1

* `export()` now sets variables with a "labels" attribute to **haven**'s "labelled" class.

# CHANGES TO v0.5.0
# rio 0.5.0

* CRAN Release.
* Restored import of **openxlsx** so that writing to xlsx is supported on install. (#150)

# CHANGES TO v0.4.28
# rio 0.4.28

* Improved documentation of mapping between file format support and the packages used for each format. (#151, h/t Patrick Kennedy)
* `import_list()` now returns a `NULL` entry for any failed imports, with a warning. (#149)
* `import_list()` gains additional arguments `rbind_fill` and `rbind_label` to control rbind-ing behavior. (#149)

# CHANGES TO v0.4.27
# rio 0.4.27

* Import to and export from the clipboard now relies on `clipr::read_clip()` and `clipr::write_clip()`, respectively, thus (finally) providing Linux support. (#105, h/t Matthew Lincoln)
* Added an `rbind` argument to `import_list()`. (#149)
* Added a `setclass` argument to `import_list()`, ala the same in `import()`.
* Switched `requireNamespace()` calls to `quietly = TRUE`.

# CHANGES TO v0.4.26

* Export to tar now tries to correct for bugs in `tar()` that are being fixed in base R via [PR#16716](https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16716).

# CHANGES TO v0.3.10
# rio 0.3.10

* Fixed a bug in `import()` (introduced in #62, 7a7480e5) that prevented import from clipboard. (h/t Kevin Wright)
* `export()` returns a character string. (#82)

# CHANGES TO v0.3.9
# rio 0.3.9

* The use of `import()` for SAS, Stata, and SPSS files has been streamlined. Regardless of whether the `haven = TRUE` argument is used, the data.frame returned by `import()` should now be (nearly) identical, with all attributes stored at the variable rather than data.frame level. This is a non-backwards compatible change. (#80)

# CHANGES TO v0.3.8
# rio 0.3.8

* Fixed error in export to CSVY with a commented yaml header. (#81, h/t Andrew MacDonald)

# CHANGES TO v0.3.7
# rio 0.3.7

* `export()` now allows automatic file compression as tar, gzip, or zip using the `file` argument (e.g., `export(iris, "iris.csv.zip")`).

# CHANGES TO v0.3.6
# rio 0.3.6

* Expanded verbosity of `export()` for fixed-width format files and added a commented header containing column class and width information.
* Exporting factors to fixed-width format now saves those values as integer rather than numeric.
* Expanded test suite and separated tests into format-specific files. (#51)

# CHANGES TO v0.3.5
# rio 0.3.5

* Export of CSVY files now includes commenting the yaml header by default. Import of CSVY accommodates this automatically. (#74)

# CHANGES TO v0.3.3
# rio 0.3.3

* Export of CSVY files and metadata now supported by `export()`. (#73)
* Import of CSVY files now stores dataset-level metadata in attributes of the output data.frame. (#73, h/t Tom Aldenberg)
* When rio receives an unrecognized file format, it now issues a message. The new internal `.import.default()` and `.export.default()` then produce an error. This enables add-on packages to support additional formats through new s3 methods of the form `.import.rio_EXTENSION()` and `.export.rio_EXTENSION()`.

# CHANGES TO v0.3.2
# rio 0.3.2

* Use S3 dispatch internally to call new (unexported) `.import()` and `.export()` methods. (#42, h/t Jason Becker)

# CHANGES TO v0.3.0
# rio 0.3.0

* Release to CRAN.
* Set a default numerical precision (of 2 decimal places) for export to fixed-width format.

# CHANGES TO v0.2.13
# rio 0.2.13

* Import stats package for `na.omit()`.

# CHANGES TO v0.2.11
# rio 0.2.11

* Added support for direct import from Google Sheets. (#60, #63, h/t Chung-hong Chan)

# CHANGES TO v0.2.7
# rio 0.2.7

* Refactored remote file retrieval into separate (non-exported) function used by `import()`. (#62)
* Added test sutie to test file conversion.
* Expanded test suite to include test of all export formats.

# CHANGES TO v0.2.6
# rio 0.2.6

* Cleaned up NAMESPACE file.

# CHANGES TO v0.2.5
# rio 0.2.5

* If file format for a remote file cannot be identified from the supplied URL or the final URL reported by `curl::curl_fetch_memory()`, the HTTP headers are checked for a filename in the Content-Disposition header. (#36)
* Removed longurl dependency. This is no longer needed because we can identify formats using curl's url argument.
