Changes in version 0.2.3 (2022-11-23)                  

  - Package functions fail gracefully in case database is offline.

  - Performance improvements to long2wide.

                 Changes in version 0.2.2 (2021-11-25)                  

  - A connection to the database is only established when specific
    functions are called that require a database connection.

  - make_date can now also convert year-month strings of the form
    'YYYYMNN' or 'YYYY-MNN' to R Date's.

                 Changes in version 0.2.1 (2021-09-17)                  

  - Safer queries under unstable internet connections: each query is
    evaluated inside tryCatch, and, if it fails, ugatsdb_reconnect is
    called and the query is sent again.

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2021-08-18)                  

  - Significant speed improvement to the expand_date function.

  - Additional security: before each call, the database connection is
    checked using DBI::dbIsValid (inside tryCatch). If the connection is
    not valid, ugatsdb_reconnect is called before executing the query.

  - Fixed a bug in transpose_wide when data contains both numeric and
    categorical data (next to the date variable in the first column). In
    that case a list of two transposed datasets, one with the numeric
    data and the other with the categorical data, is returned.

  - The default date formatting for transpose_wide was changed from an
    American MM/DD/YYYY date to a British DD/MM/YYYY date, which is also
    the Ugandan convention of recording dates.

  - Small changes and additions to the documentation. Notably, the
    package overview page is now called 'ugatsdb-package', with an alias
    'ugatsdb'.

                 Changes in version 0.1.7 (2021-07-13)                  

  - First release of the package in July 2021.
