webshot 0.5.5

• Fixed #101, #116: When some parameters (like cliprect and expand) were used, it would raise Warning: 'length(x) = 4 > 1' in coercion to 'logical(1)'. In R 4.3, this warning changed to an error. (#117)

webshot 0.5.3

• Fixed logic in install_phantomjs() when force=TRUE is used. (#89)

• Fixed handling of file:// URLs in Windows, when the URL contains a drive letter and colon, such as "file://localhost/C:\\msys64". (#110, Thanks to Tomas Kalibera)

webshot 0.5.2

• Modified install_phantomjs() function to only install a new version of PhantomJS if the installed version is out of date or it isn't installed. (@coatless, #82)
