The release of this package was accelerated by a note from Brian
Ripley that R users should anticipate decreased support for direct links
by FTP in their preferred web browsers. Accordingly, these links should
be changed or scrubbed. This concerned the co2emissions
data and documentation. I removed those FTP links. There were no http://
or https:// corollaries. However, the bibliography is still sufficiently
informative.
The newest release adds a few variables to
election_turnout (with the idea of ultimately phasing out
this data set). More importantly, CRAN flagged this as a package with
unnecessarily large “LazyData” data sets. It makes the change implored
by Brian Ripley in the DESCRIPTION file.
