In AzureKeyVault: Key and Secret Management in 'Azure'

AzureKeyVault 1.0.5

• Add as_managed_identity argument to key_vault, to allow authenticating with a managed identity from inside an Azure VM or container.
• Update API version to 7.2.

AzureKeyVault 1.0.4

• Change maintainer email address.

AzureKeyVault 1.0.3

• Support the soft-delete feature for Key Vaults. By default, a new vault will be created with soft-deletion enabled, which protects the vault and its contents from accidental/malicious deletion. A soft-deleted vault is held for a retention period (90 days) during which it can be restored. To hard-delete a soft-deleted vault, call the new purge_key_vault method, or specify purge=TRUE when deleting the vault.

AzureKeyVault 1.0.2

• Use utils::askYesNo for confirmation prompts on R >= 3.5; this fixes a bug in reading the input. As a side-effect, Windows users who are using RGUI.exe will see a popup dialog box instead of a message in the terminal.

AzureKeyVault 1.0.1

• Allow tokens to be passed to key_vault as character strings, as well as objects of class AzureToken.
• Better handling of nulls in API calls.

AzureKeyVault 1.0.0

• Initial CRAN release
