<p><a target="_blank" href="https://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> just accepted a bugfix release of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.quantmod.com/">quantmod</a>.  The most pertinent changes were to fix <span>getSymbols.oanda</span> (<a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/36">#36</a>) and <span>getOptionChain.yahoo</span><span> (</span><a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/92">#92</a>).  It also includes a fix to <span>addTRIX</span> (<a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/72">#72</a>).</p>
<p>Oanda changed their URL format from http to https, and <span>getSymbols.oanda</span> did not follow the redirect.  Yahoo Finance changed the HTML for displaying options data, which broke <span>getOptionChain.yahoo</span>.  The fix downloads JSON instead of scraping HTML, so hopefully it will be less likely to break.  For more information, see the links to the GitHub issues above.</p>
<p>I added documentation for <span>getPrice</span> (<a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/77">#77</a>), and removed the unused <span>unsetSymbolLookup</span> function and corresponding documentation (<a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/115">#115</a>).</p>
