Changes in version 0.4.5 (2026-06-11)                  

CRAN resubmission

  - Addressed CRAN resubmission feedback by adding DESCRIPTION
    references, removing \dontrun{} examples, requiring explicit output
    destinations for writing helpers, and moving example/vignette writes
    to tempdir().
  - Refreshed CRAN-facing source build exclusions so local Git metadata
    and old check/build artifacts are not included in source archives.

                        Changes in version 0.4.4                        

Release finalization

  - Finalized JOSE-oriented reviewer artifacts and metadata alignment.
  - Refreshed reproducibility and reviewer guidance docs.
  - Synchronized version fields for release publication.
  - Added JOSE preparation artifacts, educational use-case
    documentation, expanded vignettes, an example course module,
    publication-readiness tests, and pkgdown navigation for educational
    examples.
  - Recentered the review branch on JOSE software-submission
    requirements, clarified educational evidence boundaries, added CC-BY
    content licensing, and replaced internal smoke-test paths with
    installable example workflows.
  - Reworked the README as a package-facing overview and added
    pkgdown-oriented documentation articles for educational use cases
    and website maintenance.

                        Changes in version 0.4.3                        

Release stabilization

  - Prepared final JOSS/CRAN-style release workflow:
      - pinned package metadata version to 0.4.3;
      - refreshed release checklist and finalization documentation;
      - validated reproducible validation commands (R CMD build + R CMD
        check --as-cran --no-manual).
  - Documentation and review support:
      - clarified JOSS reproducibility instructions in README;
      - added “state of the art / alternatives” context and explicit
        limitations in manuscript.
  - Final release metadata:
      - Description, CITATION.cff, and codemeta.json aligned with 0.4.3.

                        Changes in version 0.4.2

      - export_tutorial_package() opt-in scaffold generation.

      - CI coverage gate for core modules
        (parser/transform/validation/report) set to 80%.
