This release contains fixes for R CMD check problems on CRAN test
machines.

                 Changes in version 0.3.0 (2019-11-22)                  

The blastula package has transitioned to using the curl package for SMTP
mailing.

There are new functions for integrating blastula with R Markdown
publishing on the RStudio Connect service. And sophisticated email
bodies can be generated with HTML Blocks.

Breaking Changes

  - send_email_out() has been removed; the smtp_send() function is its
    replacement for sending email through an SMTP server

  - The revised smtp_send() function internally uses curl::send_mail()
    to send RFC2822 email message that blastula now independently
    generates; now, there is no need to download third-party binaries to
    send via SMTP

  - The smtp_send() no longer offers text interpolation in { } (which
    was provided by glue::glue()) since this poses a security risk;
    email strings can be precomposed using glue::glue() independently,
    or, by using c(), paste()/paste0.

  - If an email message string contains Markdown text or HTML fragments,
    the md() function must be used to perform rendering

  - The create_email_creds_file() function has been removed in favor of
    a suite of functions for storing SMTP configuration info and
    credentials (create_smtp_creds_file(), create_smtp_creds_key()); the
    following credentials helper functions are available for retrieving
    or directly specifying configuration and credentials during sending:
    creds_file(), creds_key(), creds_anonymous(), and creds()

  - The preview_email() function has been removed as email objects
    created by compose_email() now have a print method

  - The .preheader_text argument in compose_email() has been removed
    because of display issues in certain email clients

New Features

  - Added functions useful for scheduled email sending in RStudio
    Connect during publication of R Markdown documents: render_email(),
    render_connect_email(), attach_connect_email(), blastula_email(),
    suppress_scheduled_email(), prepare_rsc_example_files()

  - The compose_email() function now has a header argument, allowing for
    content to populate the area above the body

  - Images embedded in email messages by using add_image() are now
    properly encoded as Base64 in the outgoing message; more MIME types
    are supported thanks to functions provided by the mime package

  - The new add_imgur_image() function allows us to deploy a local image
    to Imgur and retrieve the image tag (all in one step); this is
    useful if you want to use external images in an email message

  - We can now build sophisticated email messages with HTML blocks. With
    these responsive, higher-level components, we can create compose
    elements within the header, body, and footer components. The
    functions now available for this system are: blocks(),
    block_title(), block_text(), block_spacer(), block_articles(), and
    block_social_links(). Two useful subcomponent functions are
    article() and social_link().

Notes

  - Functions from the getPass package are used internally to ask for a
    password whenever necessary during an interactive session

  - Functions from the keyring package are used internally to aid in the
    storage and retrieval of SMTP config/credentials information in the
    system-wide key-value store (which is cross platform)

                 Changes in version 0.2.1 (2018-07-19)                  

  - Moved local image URI data into list component, where references to
    image data are through CIDs

  - Implemented internal functions for Base64-encoding of local images,
    removing dependency on knitr

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2018-03-27)                  

  - Removed dependencies on Java; reworked send_email_out() uses a
    cross-platform binary to send email message via SMTP

  - Added the prepare_test_message() function to create test email
    messages for testing purposes

  - Added a provider argument to the create_email_creds_file() function
    to more easily configure SMTP settings in a credentials file

  - Added the function add_readable_time() to allow for easy insertion
    of a readable version of the present time in a message

                  Changes in version 0.1 (2017-08-20)                   

  - Added functions to compose (compose_email()), preview
    (preview_email()), and send (send_email_out() and send_by_mailgun())
    HTML email messages

  - Added helper functions for inserting HTML fragments into the message
    body (add_cta_button(), add_image(), and add_ggplot())

  - Added a function to help generate a secret credentials file for
    sending email through SMTP
