rscorecard 0.11.0

• update dictionary for 30 October 2018 release of data

rscorecard 0.10.0

• update dictionary for 28 September 2018 release of data

rscorecard 0.9.0

Potentially breaking changes

• default value for sc_year() is now 'latest' rather than 2013. With continued data updates, this makes more sense than keeping an old year. Existing scripts that relied on the default for data from 2013 will need to be updated.
  
• also note that the year column will be a character column with latest as the value when the most recent data are choosen. The College Scorecard doesn’t clearly note which data are the latest, so I have left the string. When building a panel dataset across multiple years, it will be best to use numeric year values for all years so that the resulting tibbles can be bound together cleanly.

Other changes

• add support for using some tidyselect helper functions when selecting variables with sc_select(): starts_with(), ends_with(), contains(), and matches() should now be available.
• update dictionary for 6 September 2018 release of data
