timevis 0.2

Breaking changes

• added support for groups (#1) (parameter order for timevis() has changed)

New features

• add fit param to timevis() that determines if to fit the items on the timeline by default or not
• timevis can now be included inside regular R markdown documents
• all the API functions can now work on timeline widgets that are not yet initialized, which means they can work in rmarkdown documents or in the console
• all the API functions can now work with pipes (%>% pipelines)
• the API functions can accept either an ID of a widget or a widget object. This is useful because now the API functions can either be called from the server of a Shiny app at any point, or they can be called directly using the widget when it is being initialized

Bug fixes

• when re-rendering a timeline, the old data are not removed (#3)
• can now use a dataframe that results from merging/binding two dataframes as input (#7)
• zoom buttons show up when using a custom shinytheme() (#9)

Misc

• removed the getData getWindow getIds getSelected parameters and instead just return that info always (#4)
• refactor and modularize Shiny app code
• UI improvements to Shiny app
• added source code to Shiny app
• added social media meta tags to Shiny app
• add a lot of responsive CSS to make the app look well in smaller screens
