states 0.2.2

Added option to use simpler input when generating a yearly panel, i.e. state_panel(2001, 2005) instead of state_panel("2001-01-01", "2005-01-01", by = "year", partial = "any").
Changed sfind() so that it ignores capitalization and treats character numbers as numbers. These pairs of queries now produce the same results, unlike before:
- “Gabon” and “gabon”,
- 260 and “260”
Changes in plot_missing() and missing_info():
- make “data” the first argument and “x” the second argument so that it works nicer in pipes.
- add more intelligent defaults so that not all arguments have to be explicitly specified.
- rename the “time_unit” argument to “period”.
- added “partial” argument, it works the same as in state_panel().
Fixed plot_missing() and missing_info() error when “data” is a tibble (“tbl_df”).

states 0.2.1

plot_missing improvements: examples with Polity data, added a skip_labels option that will plot every n-th label for countries instead of all labels to avoid overplotting on the y-axis. The latter is inspired by https://github.com/xuyiqing/panelView.
Added Polity combined score as example data set.
Fixed encoding issue for gwstates$country_names like Cote d’Ivoire and Wüttemberg.

Initial version on CRAN.
Refactor state_panel and add a partial option to allow including partial state-periods (as opposed to the default which is based on the exact start date, for all period resolutions in “by”).
Rework plot_missing: fix a bug that would leave out independent states with no cases in the input data; add missing_info function that generates the data underlying the plots.
Add pkgdown website for states package documentation.
