Version 0.2.2

• Better list and data.frame patches. In particular, additions and deletions from a list (or data.frame) will not make a full copy of the object.

• Data.frame row removal is fixed.

Version 0.2.1

• A new exported function force_push. It allows a tracked_environment to revert to its state as of any given commit, specified either by numerical index or by name.

• The rollback and rollback<- functions support a silent parameter that controls whether or not to prune the commit history after rolling back. This can be useful when one wishes to revert to an earlier state, while retaining the ability to "roll forward" back to the future unless a change is made.

• The commits function for fetching a named list of all commits of a tracked_environment.

Version 0.2.0

• Introduced a tracked_environment object. This is like an environment, but it supports commits in-memory, allowing you to rollback your changes to a previous state (or peek back in history by re-running a chain of patches). For more details, see the vignette on tracked_environments

Version 0.1.1

• Rudimentary object diffing of lists. Several features are still to be desired, like diffing minor insertions, deletions, or name changes without incurring a prohibitive memory overhead, but the in general two arbitrary lists can be diffed.

• Rudimentary diffing of atomic vectors. The same heuristic considerations apply as to lists: the features are adequate but more optimization is possible.
