v0.1-12   (2024-04-19)

  o 'getSeries' gets a new argument 'column1.only',
    with default TRUE (which matches the current
    behaviour).  If FALSE, the function keeps
    additional columns, which exist in some datasets
    and typically contain comments and notes.

  o check for additional headers in data-series files
    (following a report by Benedict Acton-Bond)

v0.1-11   (2023-10-09)

  o minor changes in docs

v0.1-10   (2023-10-03)

  o getSeries: protect Examples against failed downloads.
    (The function has been returning NULL in such cases for
    many years, which is now also documented.)

    The Bundesbank apparently implemented measures against
    non-interactive use at the end of September 2023, which
    require a browser with cookies and javascript enabled.
    Should this change to the Bundesbank's website become
    permanent, the current download mechanism will be broken.

v0.1-9   (2019-05-16)

  o small changes in docs

v0.1-8   (2019-05-16)

  o support real-time data sets

  o getSeries gains new arguments 'return.class' (with
    support for "list", "zoo" and "data.frame"),
    'verbose', and 'dest.dir' (which allows caching of
    downloaded data sets). The default for
    'return.class' is "data.frame"; for the behaviour
    of previous versions, use NULL or "list".

v0.1-6   (2016-02-25)

  o there is now a public Git repository at
    https://github.com/enricoschumann/bundesbank

  o small fixes in docs

v0.1-5   (2013-04-24)

  o updated maintainer email address

v0.1-4   (2012-05-29)

  o getSeries adapted to new Bundesbank website. The returned
    series now has an attribute 'info', which gives
    information provided by the Bundesbank (eg, the currency).

v0.1-3   (2012-02-05)

  o added some checks for 'start' and 'end': character
    vectors of format 'YYYY-MM-DD' are now translated
    into the required 'MM.YYYY' format (with a warning)

v0.1-2   (2012-02-02)

  o minor changes in code ('cat' replaced by 'message')

v0.1-1   (2011-10-23)
