start_date and end_date validation
across applications.
- Updated tests of
download_*() functions to cover
unavailable or broken resources.

tidyfinance 0.3.0
New features
- Added support for all available Fama-French datasets (check via
list_supported_types()). All type names are created from a
string cleaning algorithm and are hence more consistent. We kept
implicit support for legacy type names to avoid breaking existing
code.
- Added new function to download stock data from Yahoo Finance:
download_data_stocks().
- Added support for
wrds_compustat_quarterly.
Bug fixes
- CRSP monthly data always contains the historically accurate stock
characteristics instead of the oft misleading most recent
information.
- Consistently implemented the
additional_columns option
for CRSP and Compustat instead of having the error prone option to pass
columns via ....
- Added replacement of
-999 by NA in Fama-French types,
which was missing in the initial implementation.
Improvements
- Refactored the column name cleaning procedure in
download_data_factors() to support all available column
names in the Fama-French universe.
- Made all
start_date and end_date optional
with a message to user which dates are used as defaults.

tidyfinance-package.R
file.
- Reformatted DESCRIPTION and roxygen comments for more consistency
with
tidyverse style.
