Changelog

pkgsearch now uses the timeout option to set the limit for the total time of each HTTP request (#125, @gladkia).

pkgsearch functions return data frames now, instead of tibbles. The data frames have a tbl class, so they are still printed the same way as tibbles, as long as the pillar package is available. Otherwise they behave as data frames.
New cran_new() function to query new packages on CRAN.

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.

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 RStudio addin to search for packages in a GUI: pkg_search_addin().
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.

Fix a bug when a search hit does not have a ‘downloads’ field. (Because it is a brand new package.)

First release on CRAN.
