  a given version

CRAN Release v1.30.3

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.3

  online version map validation. Local installation of 'BiocVersion' will be
  used when this option is enabled.

• Clarified 'See Also' documentation (@lwaldron #16)

• Added several unit tests to increase robustness (@mtmorgan)

BUG FIXES

• Obtain CRAN 'repos' option independent of name (@kasperdanielhansen #17)

• Fixed a bug when switching to 'devel' version of Bioconductor
  (@kasperdanielhansen #25)

  accessing non-existent list structure

CRAN Release v1.30.2

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.2

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

• install() only allows Bioconductor version upgrades and downgrades with
  an empty 'pkgs' argument. Otherwise, it gives the user an informative error.

• 'ask' argument is respected when in non-interactive mode (@lshep #9)

• valid() returns TRUE for valid Bioconductor installations otherwise,
  it prints a report of out-of-date and/or too new packages

MINOR CHANGES

• updated unit tests for install()

• when changing versions via 'install(version = "x.x")', Bioconductor
  packages to be up or down-graded are now enumerated

BUG FIXES

• Remove tests that were dependent on system configuration rather
  than the package itself

CRAN Release v1.30.1

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.1

BiocManager (formerly BiocInstaller) is now part of CRAN 🎉

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

• install() '...' arguments must be named.

NEW FEATURES

• install() supports github repositories using the remotes
  package, rather than devtools. This change should be transparent
  to end users. (From Peter Hickey @PeteHaitch,
  Bioconductor/BiocInstaller#4)

• functions renamed to the following: biocLite > install;
  biocInstallRepos > repositories; biocValid > valid;
  biocVersion > version

• functions removed: biocases_group, biocUpdatePackages, isDevel,
  useDevel, *_group

• available() enables package discovery via grep()
