- Updated "terrorism" to 2020.
- Replaced non-breaking spaces that used Latin-1 encoding with " " in 4 "demoFiles/NIPA6.16*.csv" files, because the said non-breaking spaces were not valid in UTF-8 and were rejected by a development version of R.
- Adds new datasets "USnewspapers"" and "USPS"" (US Postal Service) while adding federal government budget data to "USGDPpresidents".
- Deletes ~demoFiles/*_data.xls, because they were used to test Ecfun::financialDataFiles and Ecfun::readFinancialDataFiles, and those two functions were removed, because they used gdata, which was not being maintained, and the work required to maintain them exceeded the current need of the maintainer.
- Adds variables popM, popYr, GDP_B, and GDPyr to data set "nuclearWeaponStates".
- Corrects the description of Crime$density to read, "hundreds of people per square mile" from "people per square mile". Thanks to Yungfong "Frank" Tang for identifying this error and confirming the needed correction.
- Adds variable 'firstTestYr' to 'nuclearWeaponStates'. It also corrects an error in the 'Mroz' data set, in that "work" had the names of the levels incorrectly swapped.
- Adds data set "nuclearWeaponStates", which might be used to model the probability distribution of the time to the next new nuclear weapon state.
