 - When building sipnet model would not set correct model version
 
 ### Changed
+- `PEcAn.DB::insert_table` now uses `DBI::dbAppendTable` internally instead of manually constructed SQL (#2552).
 - Rebuilt documentation using Roxygen 7. Readers get nicer formatting of usage sections, writers get more flexible behavior when inheriting parameters and less hassle when maintaining namespaces (#2524).
 - Renamed functions that looked like S3 methods but were not:
     * PEcAn.priors: `plot.posterior.density`->`plot_posterior.density`, `plot.prior.density`->`plot_prior.density`, `plot.trait`->`plot_trait` (#2439).
