v0.3.14

Enhancements:

  • This behaviour is controlled by the auto.install.knitr argument (default TRUE)
• If a snapshot doesn't exist, suggest the previous and next available snapshots #182

Fixes:

• httpsSupported() tries to download non-existent PACKAGES file #205
• Tests should reset .libPaths() environment #204
• If a snapshot doesn't exist, suggest the previous and next available snapshots #182
