rdrop2 - rdrop2 0.8.1

This release fixes some bugs.

• drop_dir now flattens nested responses so return can be coerced to tbl_df, e.g. if returned files/folders are shared with other (#135)
• drop_download now returns TRUE when download was successful; should mitigate errors noted by multiple users (#132)

rdrop2 - rdrop 0.8

• This version is a major update from V1 of the Dropbox API (being deprecated on September 28, 2017) to V2. 🎉
• drop_acc - no longer returns quota information but still returns all other account related details. Quota retrieval will become available again on 0.9
• drop_auth - now allows for specifying a saved token with rdstoken
• drop_copy and drop_move - no longer allow a root argument. These functions also now have 3 additional options. allow_shared_folder (allows for copying/moving shared folders), autorename, renames objects in cases of conflict, and allow_ownership_transfer allows ownership transfer if a copy/move operation results in such a change.
• drop_create - no longer includes a root argument. Function now allows for autorename to rename folders in case of conflicts.
• drop_delete - loses the root argument but functionally remains unchanged.
• drop_delta - no longer exists and functionality has been folded into drop_dir. cursor can be passed to drop_dir (see below).
• drop_dir - now allows for recursive listing. In addition, one can filter by include_has_explicit_shared_members (has been shared explicitly), include_mounted_folders. file_limit has been changed to limit.
• drop_get - has been deprecated and replaced with drop_download. drop_get will be removed in a future version. In drop_download, local_file has been replaced with local_path.
• drop_history - now includes a limit argument (for number of versions required)
• drop_media - no longer has a locale argument
• drop_read_csv - remains unchanged. However, in future versions, it will become a generic wrapper with support for custom handlers.
• drop_search - file_limit is now max_results. Additionally one can specify an offset with start. locale is no longer an argument. include_deleted is also not a function argument but returned as part of the result metadata. New option called mode allows for filename, filename_and_content, or for restricting search to deleted files with deleted_filename.
• drop_share - no longer has locale or short_url as arguments. Function now allows more granularity in visibility (public, team_only, or password protected), and also allows users to set an expire time.
• drop_upload - dest is now path. Overwrite argument has been removed and replaced with mode, which can take overwrite or add. Additionally if autorename is set to TRUE, uploaded objects with conflicts will be renamed. Support for update mode will be implemented in 0.9. Function also allows for muting upload notifications on clients.
