New print method for get_historical() and get_current_weather() using bomrang_tbl class and re-exporting dplyr methods to handle the new class, thanks to @jonocarroll for this huge effort
Add new aliases for get_current_weather(), get_current() and get_historical(), get_historical_weather() for consistency
Add new aliases for get_radar_imagery(), get_radar() and get_satellite_imagery(), get_satellite() to save typing
If images fail to download for any functions, a default image is returned with an error message to try again 
get_current_weather() no longer has raw or as.data.table parameters, all data are returned with columns in proper class as with all other bomrang functions and the returned data.frame is a bomrang_tbl object. The raw parameter was set to FALSE by default, so the effect should be minimal for most end users.
Add new functionality to interact with and download radar imagery from BOM, get_available_radar() and get_radar_imagery()
When using update_station_locations() or update_forecast_towns() the user is now prompted with a message about reproducibility before proceeding
Update code of conduct statement in README to reflect that it only applies to the bomrang project
Update authors’ list in vignette to include Dean Marchiori
Add links to on-line versions of vignettes from README
Standardise use of vocabulary in README
Reorder vignette to have output from functions before maps
Add maps of historical data completeness and availability to vignette, Appendix 7
Move copyright information from start-up message into CITATION file
Fetch BOM satellite images available through public FTP
New use-case vignette, using bomrang for the WINS project
Welcome message included with statement regarding BOM copyright
Concatenate vignettes into a single file with appendices for descriptions of data returned by functions
Product IDs are included in outputs from get_*() functions that return a tidy dataframe
Full station names are reported along with BOM’s current name used to refer to a station location. In some cases a station “name” may be the same for both a current and retired station.
Fuzzy matching is used for all functions now when user enters a value for a desired state, station or the whole country for functions that require a state argument

the bomrang vignette now contains instructions for use along with appendices that document the data fields and units, rather than separate vignettes
ramifications of updating station lists are now stated clearly in the vignette and help files for applicable functions
a map of BOM stations is included in an appendix of the bomrang vignette
Lat/Lon values are specified to be in decimal degrees in get_current_weather() help and vignette
Databases station locations and other metadata are internal an not exposed to the user
Use file.path() in place of paste0()
The package has been linted,
Lint md files
Spellchecking in all files
agrep is now used in all functions where the user enters state or Australia values to query BOM data
best practices for programming with dplyr 0.7 using rlang are now employed, which reduces the need for the # CRAN NOTE avoidance
“JSONurl_latlon_by_station_name” has been shortened to “JSONurl_site_list”.
The DESCRIPTION file now states minimum package versions for packages that are undergoing rapid development
Code has been re-factored to be shorter, e.g., xml_bulletin_url in get_ag_bulletion()
.get_obs() has been moved out of the .parse_bulletin() function for easier reading/maintenance
fixed a repeat of return(tidy_df) in get_precis_forecast()
