Rdataretriever - ecoretriever v0.2.1

This version launched on CRAN 2015-11-18

New Features

• We added a new function get_updates which can be used to update the retriever scripts. This is a big improvement for users because it avoids automatically updating the scripts every time the package is imported. The log of the scripts update can be printed in a cleaner format as well.
• Added support for maintaining subdirectory structure when using the function download.

Minor improvements

• default data_dir argument is now set to working directory rather than NULL for the function install()

Bug fixes

• On windows machine if the data directory was not specified for a dataset install an error would occur. Now the dataset directory is always specified in external calls to retriever install ...
