CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.9
-------------------------

MINOR CHANGES

NEW FEATURES

    o Allow users to specify `checkBuilt` when invoking `valid()` or
    `install()`. Set default `FALSE`.

    when appropriate.

    o Improve performance of version checking (issue #42 @HenrikBengtsson).

    o Document off-line installation best practices.

    o Warn about out-of-date packages on load (in addition to on
    attach) (issue #29)

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.4
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Provide an 'http' fallback when 'https' fails for accessing the version
    map hosted on Bioconductor.org

MINOR CHANGES

    o Conform tests to devel and release R versions
    o Add tests for the 'http' fallback scenarios

BUG FIXES

    o Fixed issue with multiple error version messages for Bioc version `3.9`

    a given version

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.3
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o 'BIOCONDUCTOR_ONLINE_VERSION_DIAGNOSIS' option allows users to skip
    online version map validation. Local installation of 'BiocVersion' will be
    used when this option is enabled.

MINOR CHANGES

    o Removed extra prompts when switching versions and updating packages

    o Clarified 'See Also' documentation (@lwaldron #16)

    o Added several unit tests to increase robustness (@mtmorgan)

BUG FIXES

    o Obtain CRAN 'repos' option independent of name (@kasperdanielhansen #17)

    o Fixed a bug when switching to 'devel' version of Bioconductor
    (@kasperdanielhansen #25)

    o When installation is valid, return zero invalid packages rather than
    accessing non-existent list structure

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.2
-------------------------

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

    o install() only allows Bioconductor version upgrades and downgrades with
    an empty 'pkgs' argument. Otherwise, it gives the user an informative error.

    o 'ask' argument is respected when in non-interactive mode (@lshep #9)

    o valid() returns TRUE for valid Bioconductor installations otherwise,
    it prints a report of out-of-date and/or too new packages

MINOR CHANGES

    o updated unit tests for install()

    o when changing versions via 'install(version = "x.x")', Bioconductor
    packages to be up or down-graded are now enumerated

BUG FIXES

    o Remove tests that were dependent on system configuration rather
    than the package itself

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.1
-------------------------

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

    o install() '...' arguments must be named.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.0
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o package renamed to BiocManager

    o install() supports github repositories using the remotes
    package, rather than devtools. This change should be transparent
    to end users. (@PeteHaitch, #4)

    o functions renamed to the following: biocLite > install;
    biocInstallRepos > repositories; biocValid > valid;
    biocVersion > version

    o functions removed: biocases_group, biocUpdatePackages, isDevel,
    useDevel, *_group

    o available() enables package discovery via grep()

    o Removed support for MRAN (Microsoft R) archives.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.28.0
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o biocLite() supports full URLs, e.g., to archived Bioconductor
    packages.

    o Support MRAN (Microsoft R) archives.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.24.0
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o biocLite() uses lib.loc= to find devtools, reports more
    informatively why devtools fails to load

    o biocLite() only offers to update non-masked packages

    o biocLite() reports when packages in unwriteable directories are
    out-of-date, but does not try (and fail) to update them.

    o isDevel() returns TRUE if the version of BiocInstaller
    corresponds to the development version of Bioconductor.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.20.0
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o biocLite() uses lib.loc when calling update.packages

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.18.0

    dependencies.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.10.0
-------------------------

    those available via biocLite().

    o biocVersion() returns the version of Bioconductor expected with
    this version of the BiocInstaller package.

    packages to their most-recent version.
