samadb 0.3.0
The database has been moved, and the connection changed
accordingly. All users should update the package.
The package now displays a startup message reminding users that
the main data provider, EconData,
provides free datasets only for non-commercial users. Other users must
obtain a license at https://econdata.co.za/support/.
sm_pivot_wider() has become faster by internally
replacing data.table::dcast() by
collapse::pivot().
