• cran_new() works again.

pkgsearch 3.1.1

• pkgsearch gives nicer error messages now.

pkgsearch 3.0.3

• Fix dependency handling in the add-in (@salim-b, #101)
• pkgsearch uses curl now for the HTTP calls, instead of httr, which makes it a bit more lightweight.

pkgsearch 3.0.2

• The RStudio addin now gives a better error more missing dependencies (#84, @yonicd)
• cran_package_history() now errors for non-existing packages, instead of returning NULL or the data for another package (#88).

• The “My packages” and “Most depended upon” items now work properly in the RStudio addin (#77).
• The RStudio addin has a better window title when running in a browser (#79).
• The addin now does not crash RStudio when closing the window (#78).

• New cran_package(), cran_packages() and cran_package_history() functions to query metadata about certain packages.
• New cran_events() function to list recent CRAN events, new, updated or archived packages.
• New cran_top_downloaded() function to query packages with the most downloads.
• New cran_trending() function to return the trending CRAN packages.
• New function advanced_search() for more search flexibility.
