\section{Changes in version 0.2.4 (2023-08-19)}{
  \itemize{
    \item Add missing alias for \sQuote{RcppRedis-package} to \code{rhiredis.Rd}.
    \item Remove Suggests: \pkg{rredis} which triggers a NOTE nag as it is
    only on an \sQuote{Additional_repositories}.
  }
}

\section{Changes in version 0.2.3 (2023-03-08)}{
  \itemize{
    \item No longer set a C++ compilation standard as the default choices by
    R are sufficient for the package.
    \item Switch include to Rcpp/Rcpp which signals use of all Rcpp features
    including Modules.
  }
}

\section{Changes in version 0.2.2 (2022-10-31)}{
  \itemize{
    \item Thanks to a suggestion by Paul Murrell, the real-time chart
    demo now uses dev.hold() and.flush() for flicker-free updates.
    \item One function prototype was updated for \code{clang-15}.
    \item GitHub Actions were updated to checkout version 3.
  }
}

\section{Changes in version 0.2.1 (2022-04-09)}{
  \itemize{
    \item The \code{rredis} package can be installed via the repo listed in
    \code{Additional_repositories}; the \code{pubsub.R} test file makes
    \code{rredis} optional and conditional; all demos now note that the
    optional \code{rredis} package is installable via the \code{drat} listed in
    \code{Additional_repositories}.
    \item The fallback-compilation of \code{hiredis} has been forced to
    override compilation flags because CRAN knows better than upstream.
    \item The GLOBEX pub/sub example has small updates.
  }
}

\section{Changes in version 0.2.0 (2022-03-08)}{
  \itemize{

    \item Bryan Lewis is now a coauthor.
    \item Added pub/sub examples for single and multiple Globex symbols.
    \item The included hiredis sources have been updated to release 1.0.2.
    \item Two vignettes have been added to introduce Redis and to described a live
    market-monitoring application included in directory \code{pubsub/}.
    \item The UCRT build was updated per a suggestion by Tomas.
  }
}

\section{Changes in version 0.1.11 (2021-06-26)}{

    (Dirk).

    \ghpr{41}).
  }
}

\section{Changes in version 0.1.9 (2018-10-27)}{
  \itemize{
    \item The \code{configure} setup is more robust with respect to the
    C++ setup [CRAN request].
    \item The Travis builds was updated to R 3.5 along with all others
    (\ghpr{34}).
    \item A new Redis function \code{hexists} was added (Whit Armstrong

    all systems unwilling or unable to provide it (\ghpr{36}).

  }
}

\section{Changes in version 0.1.8 (2017-09-09)}{
  \itemize{
    \item A new file \code{init.c} was added with calls to

    consistency with \code{lpop} and \code{rpop} (also PR \ghpr{16} by Russell
    Pierce)
    \item Minor corrections to \code{get} code and \code{hget} and
    \code{hset} documentation (also PR \ghpr{16} by Russell Pierce)
