<p>A major new update of the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rpushbullet.html">RPushbullet</a> package is now on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a>. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rpushbullet.html">RPushbullet</a> interfacing the neat <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pushbullet.com/">Pushbullet</a> service for inter-device messaging, communication, and more. It lets you easily send alerts like the one to the to your browser, phone, tablet, … — or all at once.</p>
<p>This release owes a lot to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/wenchel">Seth Wenchel</a> who was instrumental in driving several key refactorings. We now use the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=curl">curl</a> package instead of relying on <code>system()</code> calls to the binary. We also switched from <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=JSONIO">RJSONIO</a> to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=jsonlite">jsonlite</a>. A new helper function to create the required resourcefile was added, and several other changes were made as detailed below in the extract from the <code>NEWS.Rd</code> file.</p>
<blockquote>
<h4>Changes in version 0.3.0 (2017-02-03)</h4>

</li>
<li>
<p>The package intialization was refactored so that non-loading calls such as <code>RPushbullet::pbPost(...)</code> now work (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rpushbullet/pull/33">#33</a> closing <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rpushbullet/issues/26">#26</a>)</p>

<p>Deprecated parts such as ‘type=address’ were removed, and the documentation was updated accordingly.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Coverage support was added (in a ‘on-demand’ setting as automated runs would need a Pushbullet API token)</p>
