This is a major update over the last release. It implements a package name change, adds features, and fixes several important bugs.

New Package Name

The EcoData Retriever has been renamed to Data Retriever to reflect its utility outside of ecological data and consequently we have renamed the R package from ecoretriever to rdataretriever

New Coauthors

We welcome Henry Senyondo and Shawn Taylor as coauthors on the package. Thanks for the great help Henry and Shawn!

New Features

Add reset which allows a user to delete all the Data Retriever downloaded files
Add json and xml as output options

Minor Improvements

Accommodate new retriever naming conventions in fetch
Don't change the class or return the update log
Specify in documentation which functions are for internal use.
Change dataset names in source and README.md

Bug Fixes
