v0.6.1

[JanMarvin]

Release 0.6.1 brings some new features to a slowly but steadily maturing package. The release came a bit earlier than usual to support the next waldo release.

Functions that take columns as arguments should now accept spreadsheet ranges like "A:B". There may still be remaining functions that behave differently, but these should be reported as bugs. It is now possible to place images with dims just like rvg or mschart drawings (they now share the same code), and drawings get the ability to add offset vectors to fine tune their placement. It is now possible to skip hidden columns and rows in wb_to_df(). Support for third party packages that are derivatives of data frames has been improved. The last xy function argument has been deprecated in comment functions, and finally it it is possible to chain load() and to_df().

The release 0.6.1 is the eight 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.
