Changes in version 0.1.0 (2023-08-08) First official CRAN release! - need() (and is_installed()) can check for a minimum version of a package by appending >=[version], e.g. need("pkg>=0.1.2") - need() also gains a couple of new arguments: - Use msg to provide a custom informative message, to be displayed to users if one or more packages will need to be installed - Use install_cmd to provide a custom installation command, which will be used in the installation prompt Changes in version 0.0.2 need() now doesn't load packages by default: instead it checks whether a package has a valid installation location. This is much faster, but slightly less of a guarantee that the package is actually usable. You can switch back to the package-loading method with load = TRUE. Changes in version 0.0.1 First package release.
