                 Changes in version 0.7.1 (2024-01-11)                  

Make 2023 the most recent year you can use. TAXSIM currently does not
work for 2024.

                 Changes in version 0.7.0 (2023-08-19)                  

Update taxsim.wasm and taxsim.js to latest files. ETag of current
version is e23da-601f65ac97a40.

Add the following old dependent columns back to input columns: 'dep13',
'dep17', 'dep18'

Add the following new columns to the output: 'credits' and 'staxbc'

                 Changes in version 0.6.0 (2023-01-24)                  

Removed the interface option to taxsim_calculate_taxes(). Now, 'wasm' is
the only interface option. Users are not able to send the data to the
TAXSIM server via ssh or http. This feature was removed because we have
seen unexpected changes to the TAXSIM server's output, which could
silently introduce errors.

                 Changes in version 0.5.4 (2022-10-30)                  

Patch

  - Convert errors to messages when TAXSIM cannot be connected to, as
    per CRAN policy 'Packages which use Internet resources should fail
    gracefully'.
  - No longer run tests on CRAN that rely on calling the API, as per the
    guidance in HTTP Testing in R.

                 Changes in version 0.5.3 (2022-10-08)                  

Patch

  - TAXSIM changed its output for ssh and http and returns additional
    columns. Incorporate these changes, but still only return the
    columns that were present before the change. Only return the
    original columns so that ssh and http output aligns with wasm
    output.

                 Changes in version 0.5.2 (2022-09-20)                  

Patch

  - TAXSIM added back the tficar column to http (see 0.5.1 for more
    information). Added the tficar column back to tests.

                 Changes in version 0.5.1 (2022-08-31)                  

Patch

  - TAXSIM changed how it returns http results from its server. It now
    adds a trailing comma at the end of each line. This causes the
    import functions to think there is an additional column. To solve,
    update http import functions to remove trailing commas.
  - http results from TAXSIM no longer include the column tficar. This
    caused tests to fail. Updated tests that match http and ssh results
    to account for this difference.

                 Changes in version 0.5.0 (2022-07-08)                  

Major Changes

  - Add interface parameter to taxsim_calculate_taxes(), which allows
    users to select the method of interfacing with TAXSIM.
  - Add 'wasm' option to interface parameter. The functionality
    incorporates Aman Gupta Karmani's JS / WebAssembly tooling into the
    package. Therefore, tax calculations can be conducted locally
    without send and retrieving data from the TAXSIM servers.

  - Add 'http' option to interface parameter. This option uses curl to
    send and retrieve data from TAXSIM via https. (@thomascwells, PR #9)

                 Changes in version 0.4.0 (2022-05-30)                  

Minor Changes

  - For ssh, create known_hosts file in temporary directory instead of
    .ssh.known_hosts. This is needed so that the package does not write
    to files outside the tempdir, in violation of CRAN requirements.
  - For ssh, only use port 22.

                        Changes in version 0.3.0                        

Minor Changes

Updated the input column names so that all input columns in TAXSIM are
represented. Changed spelling on one input column name to match TAXSIM
(changed 'ui' to 'sui'). (#7, @thomascwells)

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2022-05-10)                  

Major Changes

  - Updated to TAXSIM 35. Data is now sent to the TAXSIM 35 server
    instead of the TAXSIM 32 server.
  - Changed column names of input columns so that they now match
    TAXSIM 35's input column names.
