4.0
  - Windows, MacOS: Upgrade to upstream Tesseract 4.0! Completely new OCR engine.
  - Tesseract 4 has a new training data format. On Windows / MacOS you need to
    re-download your language data with tesseract_download(). The package uses
    separate directories for storing Tesseract 3 vs 4 data so they shouldn't get
    mixed up (hopefully).
  - Drop hard-dependency on tibble (only load if available)

2.3
  - Fix problem with setlocale() not properly restoring locale.
  - Switch examples from dontrun{} to donttest{}, and '--run-donttest' on travis/appveyor

  - Set LC_ALL = C when initiating tesseract
  - Include <tesseract/*> to support Tesseract 4

2.1
  - Fixes for 4.0.0-beta.1: they switched to semver + other data branch
  - Set LC_CTYPE to "C" when loading training data (required for some asian languages)
  - Add back OSD training data on Windows

2.0
  - Set tesseract parameters at init so that all parameters types now actually work!
  - New function tesseract_params() lists all supported parameters and their default
  - Added 'config' argument to tesseract() which specifies a file with parameter values
  - Internally validate paremeter names before init to revent tesseract crashes
  - Rewrite the ocr_data() function in C++ to make it much faster
  - Tesseract 4 now gets data from the tessdata_fast repo as recommended upstream
  - Use default resolution of 300dpi when image does not contain resolution info

1.9
  - Tesseract 4 now dowloads training data from the "tessdata_fast" repo
  - Add ocr_data() function that parses the hOCR output

  - tesseract_download now uses 3.04 tree (instead of 4.00) as suggested in readme
  - For static packags on Win/Mac, languages stored in: rappdirs::user_data_dir('tesseract')
  - Use 'png' instead of 'tiff' to read magick images
  - Compile with $(C_VISIBILITY) to hide internal symbols (requires Rcpp 0.12.12)
