Version 0.2, May 2014
-----------

* Data from EMDAT has been updated to include the whole of 2013. GDP and 
  population data has been updated accordingly.

* The entire cleaned data is now hosted on bitbucket and the package
  comes only with a sample of the cleaned data. Data from bitbucket
  can now be obtained using the package via RCurl.
  
* Functionality provided by the package has been modified to be consistent
  with the above mentioned data changes. It is generally advised against the use 
  of `subset` and `sapply` commands, especially in package development.
  Hence, the code has been revised accordingly. 
  
* `emdat_extract` has been replaced with `extract_emdat`.

* `Year` variable in the cleaned data was found to have missing values due to 
  a bug in the cleaning process. This bug has been fixed. 

* Vignette has been added to demonstrate not only the use of the package 
  but also the replication of graphics presented in EMDAT's annual ADSR reports.
    
Version 0.1, Nov 2013
-----------

* Data from EM-DAT was downloaded in early Nov 2013 and is not complete
  for 2013.

* `emdat_extract` can be used to extract data for a desired time period
  Selection by other criteria may be included in the future.
  
* `Location` variable from the EM-DAT database has `...` possibly 
  when there are too many locations and the web browser cannot display all 
  the locations. Raw data from EM-DAT has to be obtained to fix this problem.
