graphTweets 0.5.3

Moving rtweet to Suggests.

graphTweets 0.5.2

graphTweets 0.5.1

Better use of tidyeval to improve usage of the package in functions.

graphTweets 0.5.0

The origin gt_edges functions, first part of the package in 2014, was extracting @tagged users from tweets’ text with convoluted regular expressions: it is no longer necessary as rtweet now returns mentions_screen_name, hence the aforementioned changes.

graphTweets 0.4.3

graphTweets 0.4.2

Removed splitstackshape dependency ahead of its archival; now uses tidyr.

graphTweets 0.4.1

graphTweets 0.4.0

Major release: overhaul to 1) make computations much faster, 2) make the whole package more tidyverse friendly and 3) switch to rtweet as main source.
