• Now importing packages crul, tibble, and data.table and no longer importing httr, stringr
• New functions cg_bills_recent, cg_bills_recent_member, cg_bills_recent_subject, cg_bills_upcoming, cg_committee, cg_committee_comms, cg_committee_hearings, cg_committees_comms_category, cg_committees_comms_chamber, cg_committees_comms_date, cg_floor_actions_date, cg_floor_actions_recent, cg_members, cg_members_bill_cosponsors, cg_members_compare_bill_sponsors, cg_members_compare_votes, cg_members_leaving, cg_members_new, cg_members_state_district, cg_members_votes, cg_nomination, cg_nominations_category, cg_nominations_state, cg_state_party_countes, cg_statements_date, cg_statements_member, cg_statements_recent, cg_statements_search, cg_statements_subject, cg_statements_subjects, cg_votes_date, cg_votes_explanations, cg_votes_explanations_category, cg_votes_explanations_member, cg_votes_recent, cg_votes_senatenoms, cg_votes_type, os_committee, os_committees, os_district, os_districts, os_legislator, os_legislatorgeo
• replace httr with crul (#65)

DEFUNCT

• Now defunct because API services are gone: cg_votes, cg_districts, cg_documents, cg_floor_updates, cg_hearings, cg_legislators, cw_dates, cw_phrases, cw_text, cw_timeseries (#64) (#67)

rsunlight v0.4.2

DEFUNCT

• Influence Explorer defunct as of January 2016. Thus, ie_ functions
  are now defunct in this package. (#57)

rsunlight 0.4

NEW FEATURES

• API keys can be now be stored as both an env var and an option. (#54)
• Most outputs by default are data.frames, and use the dplyr::tbl_df style (#50)
• New function added cg_documents() for the Congressional documents route (#35)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• rCharts dependency removed. This package is still not on CRAN, so this is
  simpler. In addition, CRAN wants all deps in a "mainstream" CRAN like repo. (#53)
• Started test suite (#32)
• Added ability to vectorize some parameters in some functions (#21)
• Added description of n parameter in the cw_dates() function man page (#2)
• Non base R functions are now explicitly imported, from methods and utils packages (#55)
• Set base URLs for each of the four Sunlight APIs in one place, less error prone in case they change their base URLs (#46)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed bug due to unconventional object ([) returned when no data found in some Sunlight API routes (#51)
• Bug fixes to bills functions (#42)

v0.3.0

Released to CRAN
