                 Changes in version 1.1.7 (2026-04-20)                  

  - New schedule format (2024 and beyond) is now parsed correctly
      - retrosheetFields object is now better formatted and more
        maintainable
      - Package is more future-proof against changes to the structure of
        Retrosheet data

                 Changes in version 1.1.6 (2024-02-28)                  

  - Updated format of documentation to pass CRAN checks
      - Updated getRetrosheet() to account for new paths on
        retrosheet.org
      - Updated two tests to account for changed location of All Star
        Team rosters

                 Changes in version 1.1.5 (2023-07-07)                  

  - Updated tests to account for addition of All Star teams to
    Retrosheet data
      - Added checks to testing so it 'fails gracefully' when
        retrosheet.org is not available
      - Improved documentation in tests

                 Changes in version 1.1.4 (2021-09-16)                  

  - Updated tests to skip Rmarkdown tests on CRAN. Avoids pandoc
    dependency issues on Solaris and MacOS CRAN package checks.

                 Changes in version 1.1.3 (2020-12-14)                  

  - Updated tests to account for stringsAsFactors = FALSE
      - Switched to making requests via https to align with
        retrosheet.org changeover
      - Updated README.md to account for master to main change in repo

                 Changes in version 1.1.2 (2020-05-15)                  

  - Replaced kludge-y closeAllConnections() with close() calls to
    specific connections (#1)
      - Added some rudimentary data cleanup to the get_retrosheet()
        wrapper function
          - Dates in retrosheet data now return date-types, everything
            else is converted from chr via the relatively aggressive
            type.convert()
      - Removed data.table dependency, replaced data.table::fread() with
        base::read.csv() calls
      - get_retrosheet() now returns regular old dataframes now, instead
        of tibbles.
      - Added better handling of HTTP requests. Failed requests are now
        retried up to three times via httr::RETRY()

                 Changes in version 1.1.1 (2020-03-23)                  

  - Added get_retrosheet(), a wrapper for getRetrosheet() that takes the
    same arguments and returns the same data, except coercing matrices
    into tibbles.
      - Updated tests to account for more data being added to
        retrosheet.org (whoops)

                 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2020-01-14)                  

  - Schedule scraping now expects a *.zip file instead of *.txt file, to
    accommodate change to retrosheet.org file structure
      - Added cache parameter to getRetrosheet(). This defaults to NA.
        If set to a local directory path, retrosheet data will be cached
        locally and re-used so as not to constantly download the same
        file from the retrosheet.org servers
      - Fixed parsing of substitutions in games where no substitutions
        occurred. This is a rare edge case.
      - Removed RCurl dependency (due to incompatibility with TLS
        > 1.0). Web data is now downloaded using httr functions
      - Removed XML dependency, replaced with xml2 and rvest
