\section{Changes in version 4.1.0}{
\itemize{
\item Renamed the package to \code{fritools2}.
\item Add \code{rename_package()}.
\item We do not check on the number of columns anymore since \code{utils::read.table()}
seems do get the columns right anyways. However it manages.

from \code{".*\\\\.[RrSs]$|.*\\\\.[RrSs]nw$"} to \code{NULL}}.

}
}

requirement. I can still find them in

\section{Changes in version 3.0.0}{
\subsection{Major changes}{
\itemize{
\item Added function \code{check_ascii_file()} to check for number of lines and fields of
an ascii file.

completely. Otherwise an error is thrown.

of the files in the bulk fails to be read.
}
}

\subsection{Minor changes}{
\itemize{
\item \code{set_path()} now adds reading and writing times to the path. So we can compare
reading times with modification times on disk.

modification date attribute.
}
}

\section{Changes in version 2.4.0}{

\code{FALSE}.
}
}

\item Added function \code{tapply()} to fix the base version which will not digest
\code{data.frame}s as input.
}
}

\section{Changes in version 1.3.0}{
\itemize{
\item Extended \code{is_running_on_fvafrcu_machines()} to catch a new machine.
\item Added function \code{with_dir()} as this is often the only function I import from
package \code{withr} making \code{withr} a dependency.

now a wrapper to that.

\itemize{
\item Skipping tests for \code{search_files()} if R has not at least version 4.0.0.
\item Added function \code{r_cmd_install()} as a quick alternative to \code{devtools::install()}.
\code{devtools} calling \code{callr}, calling \code{processx::run} seemed too bloated for
such a simple task.
\item Added function \code{compare_vectors()} which returns a side-by-side comparison of
two vectors.
\item Updated test\_helper to recognize machines running at the Forest Research
Institute of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

\code{is_false}, \code{is_null_or_true};
\code{search_files}, \code{find_files}, \code{summary.filesearch} and
\code{strip_off_attributes}
from package \code{packager}.
