                 Changes in version 4.0.0 (2025-02-17)                  

Thanks to the brilliant reviewer comments via the rOpenSci software
review (https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/674), this
release makes some major improvements to the clarity and functionality
of the package. 

See this issue for a summary of the changes:
https://github.com/ropensci/mapmetadata/issues/184

Many of these changes relate to making the package easier to use, as
there is a heavy dependence on user interaction, improving validation
and testing, and complying with R package best practices.

                 Changes in version 3.0.0 (2025-01-06)                  

Thanks in part to helpful rOpenSci editor comments
(https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/674) this release
makes some improvements to the package, making it more suitable for the
rOpenSci software review process, which will be based on this new
release going forward.

BREAKING CHANGES

  - The package name has changed from browseMetadata to mapmetadata.
    mapmetadata better reflects the function of this package and
    complies with formatting best practice for R package naming
  - Combined the browse function into the map function to simplify
    package use for the user
  - Changed some function names to match object_verb convention
  - Now using csv (not json) as the the metadata input to reflect the
    new structure from Health Data Research Gateway
  - Removed some custom functions, because utils already offered these!
    (or very similar)

NEW FEATURES

  - Clearer and more detailed user documentation in README and package
    website

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  - Logo has been replaced to reflect new package name
  - Updated DESCRIPTION file to directly mention Health Data Research
    Gateway as a data source for this package, normalised the
    DESCRIPTION file formatting
  - Open up the html output file automatically in the user's browser,
    insteading of prompting the user to do this manually
  - Internal functions no longer listed on the package website, only
    user functions
  - Handle temp directories better in unit tests, by using
    withr::local_tempdir()
  - Improved unit tests by using testthat::local_mocked_bindings
