guess_repo() now infers a remote when there are multiple associated with the repo. The "upstream" (preferred) or "origin" repo is selected if either exists, otherwise the function errors and asks the user to explicitly specify a repo (#31).
release_info() now works properly when there are no existing releases, which enables the usage of pb_new_release() on repos without a release (#29).
Fix error on pb_info() under certain cases which resulted in Error in a[[1]] : subscript out of bounds, (#36)
Fix CRAN unit-test on deleting file

Improve interface regarding overwrite behavior in pb_upload() (#25)
Bugfixes for errors introduced in 0.0.9:
- Access all assets on a release instead of first 30. This could break upload and download. (#23, #24)
- Uploading of directory paths could cause download errors in pb_download(). (#24, #26)

Fix bug in pb_releases() to allow for draft releases to appear [#105]
pb_upload() no longer offers to create a release if interactive - it now provides the code to create the release in the error body.
pb_download() now tries to uses browser download URLs (i.e. pb_download_url()) before trying API download URLs. This should reduce/eliminate effect of API rate limits for pb_download. [#109]
"latest" release now aligns with GitHub's "latest" release definition [#113]
pb_download_url() now can return choice of "browser" or "api" download URLs [#116]
Add new functions pb_read() and pb_write() as convenience wrappers around pattern of downloading to tempfile() and then reading into memory. [#97]
Support customizing GitHub base URL via GITHUB_API_URL environment variable, which should help support GH Enterprise [#122]

Fix bug in pb_upload() to correctly resolve "latest" tag - if there is no release tag actually named "latest" it will use the first release from pb_releases(). [#75]
Make pb_download() and pb_info() also resolve "latest" similarly: if there is no release tag named "latest", use first release from pb_releases()
Updated test coverage to use GHA
Fixed error handling for pb_list() for no release.
pb_list() now respects the option "piggyback.verbose"
Fix download token handling [#88]
pb_upload() no longer prints out extra newlines [#93]
pb_new_release() now warns and exits early instead of failing if a release already exists. [#95]
Fixup test issues [#100]
pb_upload adds a two-second sleep after user creates release [#101]
- This is because it takes a few seconds for the GitHub API to register that the new release has been created
Adds piggyback.cache R option to avoid memoising altogether
Adds .pb_cache_clear() function to empty the cache more consistently (internally and externally)

The progress bar argument show_progress in pb_upload() and pb_download() now defaults to interactive() [#72]
Fix bug in pb_download() for downloading without a gh::gh_token() (mostly on Windows?) [#77]
Fix bug introduced by above bugfix - missed Authorization in header
guess_repo() now uses gh::gh_tree_remote() rather than gert - this eliminates the gert dependency. [#80]
pb_release_delete() introduced to delete existing releases. [#81]
pb_new_release() renamed to pb_release_create() to sync with the new delete function.
Fix offer to create new release in pb_upload() - also switch to using rlang::is_interactive() to maybe one day test this.
Tests rewritten to primarily use GHA and write to/from the ropensci/piggyback repo.
Added httr::RETRY() behaviour to pb_download().

update intro vignette to remove all mentions of pb_track(), pb_push(), and pb_pull() which were removed as of version 0.0.0.9900
pb_upload() now handles the dir argument to control relative path directories.
update intro vignette to remove mention of path name handling and instead provide examples of how path names are handled.
update intro vignette instructions for git authentication
pb_new_release() now reports HTTP errors when attempting to create a new release and returns the contents of the error if it fails.
pb_releases() created - it returns a list of releases available in the repository.
Internal function pb_info() refactored to search for the specified tag(s) which should improve performance. Should handle multiple tags gracefully.
Internal function pb_info() (and therefore pb_list(), pb_download(), pb_download_url()) no longer ask about creating new releases if the release is not found.
pb_upload() is now the only function that offers (interactively) to create a new release if release is not found. If noninteractive, user must run pb_new_release() manually prior to uploading.
CLI messaging now consistently uses {cli} package and no longer uses clisymbols or crayon - this is to align with the imports from the {gh} package.
Documentation updated.
Add options("piggyback.verbose") TRUE/FALSE to control verbosity/messaging levels.

switch to gh::gh_token() for token management. Still supports the same env var approach, but also compatible with gitcreds and other use.
resolve issue in pb_upload() when creating a new tag in the process, previously data would be attached to the previously latest tag instead of the newly created one.
resolve issue in pb_download() where httr would report a 401 status even after data successfully downloads.

address remaining authentication issue in changes to GitHub API (on pb_upload()) [#47]
Use flat file structure on upload/download instead of encoding path [#48]
improve performance via more aggressive memoising of pb_info() calls, inceasing default piggyback_cache_duration to 10 minutes [#46]
Resolve bug introduced by API changes that would stop creation of tags on repos with default branch called main or without previous releases [#48]
