Updates

v0.10.0

Updates

v0.9.0

Potentially breaking changes

• The default value for sc_year() is now 'latest' rather than 2013. This change reflects a new feature in the College Scorecard API. With continued data updates, using 'latest' makes more sense than keeping an old year. Existing scripts that relied on the default for data from 2013 will need to be updated or risk pulling the wrong data files.
• Also note that the year column will be a character column with latest as the value when the most recent data are choosen. The College Scorecard doesn't clearly note which data are the latest (i.e., I can't convert latest data to the year they belong to just using the returned values). Therefore, I have left the string. When building a panel dataset across multiple years, it will be best to use numeric year values for all years so that the resulting tibbles can be bound together cleanly.

Other changes
