v0.6

[JanMarvin]

Release 0.6 is a maintenance release for a slowly but steadily maturing package. Besides the usual bug fixes, we remove some deprecated functions and make minor changes to the wb_styles functions. Also, feature requests have been fulfilled (reading empty named columns with skipEmptyCols/skipEmptyRows and dims argument in wb_clean_sheet()).

Style functions now accept numeric, integer or logical arguments where applicable. Previously only characters were accepted, now wb_add_font(size = 11) is as valid as wb_add_font(size = "11"). The upgrade vignette has been extended with some pipes examples in addition to the chains. Applicability for R versions < R 4.1.0 has been restored.

The release 0.6 is the seventh openxlsx2 release which is available under CRAN. However, the package is not yet fully stable. Until the stable version 1.0 there may still be changes in the API. A look at the issue tracker and the NEWs is recommended in any case.
