Version 1.7.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

FEATURES
* get_credentials() and strip_credentials() retrieve and remove user authentication info
from URLs, as appropriate (#64)
* A small performance improvement to parameter-related functions.
* The long-deprecated url_parameters has been removed
* param_get() can retrieve all available parameters.
* get_param(urls, parameter_names = NULL), scans for all available parameters (#82)
* Cases like get_param("http://foo.bar/?field=value&amp;more", "field") retrieve the whole field (#82)
* Cases like get_param("http://foo.bar/?field=value#fragment", "field") don't retrieve the fragment (#82)
* parameters and other URL components can now be removed by assigning NULL to the component. See the vignettes for an example (#79)
* Setting components with eg path() is now fully vectorised (#76)

BUGS
* url_parse now handles URLs with user auth/ident information in them, stripping it out (#64)
* url_parse now handles URLs that are IPv6 addresses (#65)
* url_parse now handles URLs with @ characters in query fragments
* url_parse now handles URLs with fragments, but no parameter or path (#83)
* url_compose now handles URLs with query strings but no paths (#71)
* param_set() can now handle parameters with overlapping names
* url_parse now handles URLs with >6 character schemes (#81)
* param_get() skips the URL fragment and handles values containing "&amp;".
* It is no longer possible to duplicate separators with function calls like path(url) <- '/path'. (#78)
* A small bugfix in url decoding to avoid a situation where URLs that (wrongly) had percentage signs in them decoded the characters behind those signs (#87)

DEVELOPMENT
* Internal API simplified.

Version 1.6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
* Fully punycode encoding and decoding support, thanks to Drew Schmidt.
* param_get, param_set and param_remove are all fully capable of handling NA values.
* component setting functions can now assign even when the previous value was NA.

Version 1.5.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUGS
* Custom suffix lists were not working properly.

Version 1.5.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUGS
* Fixed a bug in which punycode TLDs were excluded from TLD extraction (thanks to
  Alex Pinto for pointing that out) #51
* param_get now returns NAs for missing values, rather than empty strings (thanks to Josh Izzard for the report) #49
* suffix_extract now no longer goofs if the domain+suffix combo overlaps with a valid suffix (thanks to Maryam Khezrzadeh and Alex Pinto) #50

DEVELOPMENT
* Removed the non-portable -g compiler flag in response to CRAN feedback.

Version 1.5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES

* Using tries as a data structure (see https://github.com/Ironholds/triebeard), we've increased the speed of suffix_extract() (instead of taking twenty seconds to process a million domains, it now takes..one.)
* A dataset of top-level domains (TLDs) is now available as data(tld_dataset)
* suffix_refresh() has been reinstated, and can be used with suffix_extract() to ensure suffix
extraction is done with the most up-to-date dataset version possible.
* tld_extract() and tld_refresh() mirrors the functionality of suffix_extract() and suffix_refresh()
BUG FIXES
* host_extract() lets you get the host (the lowest-level subdomain, or the domain itself if no subdomain
is present) from the `domain` fragment of a parsed URL.
* Code from Jay Jacobs has allowed us to include a best-guess at the org name in the suffix dataset.
* url_parameters is now deprecated, and has been marked as such.

DEVELOPMENT
* The instantiation and processing of suffix and TLD datasets on load marginally increases
the speed of both (if you're calling suffix/TLD related functions more than once a sessions)

Version 1.4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUG FIXES
* Full NA support is now available!

DEVELOPMENT
* A substantial (20%) speed increase is now available thanks to internal
refactoring.

Version 1.3.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUG FIXES
* url_parse no longer lower-cases URLs (case sensitivity is Important) thanks to GitHub user 17843

DOCUMENTATION
* A note on NAs (as reported by Alex Pinto) added to the vignette
* Mention Bob Rudis's 'punycode' package.

Version 1.3.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUG FIXES
* Fixed a critical bug impacting URLs with colons in the path

Version 1.3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGES
* suffix_refresh has been removed, since LazyData's parameters prevented it from functioning; thanks to
  Alex Pinto for the initial bug report and Hadley Wickham for confirming the possible solutions.

BUG FIXES
* the parser was not properly handling ports; thanks to a report from Rich FitzJohn, this is now fixed.

Version 1.3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES
* param_set() for inserting or modifying key/value pairs in URL query strings.
* param_remove() added for stripping key/value pairs out of URL query strings.

CHANGES
* url_parameters has been renamed param_get() under the new naming scheme - url_parameters still exists, however,
for the purpose of backwards-compatibiltiy.

BUG FIXES
* Fixed a bug reported by Alex Pinto whereby URLs with parameters but no paths would not have their domain
  correctly parsed.

Version 1.2.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGES
* Changed "tld" column to "suffix" in return of "suffix_extract" to more
accurately reflect what it is
* Switched to "vapply" in "suffix_extract" to give a bit of a speedup to
an already fast function

BUG FIXES
* Fixed documentation of "suffix_extract"

DEVELOPMENT
* More internal documentation added to compiled code.
* The suffix_dataset dataset was refreshed

Version 1.2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES
* Jay Jacobs' "tldextract" functionality has been merged with urltools, and can be accessed
with "suffix_extract"
* At Nicolas Coutin's suggestion, url_compose - url_parse in reverse - has been introduced.

BUG FIXES

* To adhere to RfC standards, "query" functions have been renamed "parameter"
* A bug in which fragments could not be retrieved (and were incorrectly identified as parameters)
has been fixed. Thanks to Nicolas Coutin for reporting it and providing a reproducible example.

Version 1.1.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUG FIXES

* Parameter parsing now fixed to require a = after the parameter name, thus solving for scenarios where
the URL would contain the parameter name as part of, say, the domain, and it'd grab the wrong thing. Thanks
to Jacob Barnett for the bug report and example.
* URL encoding no longer encodes the slash between the domain and path (thanks to Peter Meissner for pointing
this bug out).

DEVELOPMENT
*More unit tests

Version 1.1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES
*url_parameters provides the values of specified parameters within a vector of URLs, as a data.frame
*KeyboardInterrupts are now available for interrupting long computations.
*url_parse now provides a data.frame, rather than a list, as output.

BUG FIXES

DEVELOPMENT
*De-static the hell out of all the C++.
*Internal refactor to store each logical stage of url decomposition as its own method
*Internal refactor to use references, minimising memory usage; thanks to Mark Greenaway for making this work!
*Roxygen upgrade

Version 1.0.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES
*New get/set functionality, mimicking lubridate; see the package vignette.

DEVELOPMENT
*Internal C++ documentation added and the encoders and parsers refactored.

Version 0.6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES
*replace_parameter introduced, to augment extract_parameter (previously simply url_param). This
allows you to take the value a parameter has associated with it, and replace it with one of your choosing.
*extract_host allows you to grab the hostname of a site, ignoring other components.

BUG FIXES
*extract_parameter (now url_extract_param) previously failed with an obfuscated error if the requested
parameter terminated the URL. This has now been fixed.

DEVELOPMENT
*unit tests expanded
*Internal tweaks to improve the speed of url_decode and url_encode.
