taylor 1.0.0

Breaking changes

• Red (Taylor's Version) has replaced Red in taylor_album_songs (#9).

• The type argument of color_palette() is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Previously, if you wanted to interpolate more colors between those originally specified, you needed to specify type = "continuous". This was misleading, because color_palette() still returned a discrete number of colors (n). Now, interpolation happens automatically if n is greater than length(pal).

```r my_colors <- c(ku_blue = "#0051ba", "firebrick", "#ffc82d") my_palette <- color_palette(my_colors)

# old color_palette(my_palette, n = 10, type = "continuous") color_palette(my_palette, n = 2, type = "discrete")

# new color_palette(my_palette, n = 10) color_palette(my_palette, n = 2) ```

Minor improvements and fixes

• New color palette added to album_palettes for Red (Taylor's Version).

• New single color added to album_compare for Red (Taylor's Version).

• Metacritic score for Red (Taylor's Version) has been added to taylor_albums.

• "Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)" has been added as a non-album single. Presumably this will eventually move to 1989 (Taylor's Version).

• Hex logo and pkgdown website have been updated to have a Red (Taylor's Version) theme.

• Fix the majority of non-ASCII characters in song lyrics. Remaining characters are en/em dashes and letters with accent marks.

• color_palette() now preserves color names, either through R color specifications (i.e., colors()) or a named vector supplied to pal (#12).

r my_colors <- c(ku_blue = "#0051ba", "firebrick", "#ffc82d") color_palette(my_colors)
