<p>I am pleased to announce that <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=tidytext" target="_blank">tidytext 0.1.6</a> is now on CRAN!</p>
<p>Most of this release, as well as the 0.1.5 release which I did not blog about, was for maintenance, updates to align with API changes from tidytext’s dependencies, and bugs. I just spent a good chunk of effort getting tidytext to pass R CMD check <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/juliasilge/tidytext/blob/ef722210b9ad80e306badd0c5a866a320a37d9b4/.travis.yml#L11" target="_blank">on older versions of R</a> despite the fact that some of the packages in tidytext’s <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/juliasilge/tidytext/blob/ef722210b9ad80e306badd0c5a866a320a37d9b4/DESCRIPTION#L28" target="_blank">Suggests</a> require recent versions of R. FUN TIMES. I was glad to get it working, though, because I know that we have users, some teaching on university campuses, etc, who are constrained to older versions of R in various environments.</p>
<p>There are some more interesting updates. For example, did you know about the new-ish <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=stopwords" target="_blank">stopwords</a> package? This package provides access to stopword lists from multiple sources in multiple languages. If you would like to access these in a list data structure, go to the original package. But if you like your text tidy, I GOT YOU.</p>
