Bug fixes

haahka 0.4.1 (2019-03-12)

Packrat packages are updated.

Bug fixes

Previously changing the language using the language selector an after setting the language using URL parameter caused an infinite update loop (see issue). This is now fixed. As a result, the language selector label is not constructed dynamically, but instead all language translations ("Kieli / Språk / Language") are always shown on the label.

haahka 0.4.0 (2019-02-05)

Breaking changes

The old selector/url architecture gas been completely scrapped. New implementation uses Shiny's bookmarking functionality. While the URLs are not as pretty, the system is much more robust and (hopefully) get's rid of the erratic behavior.
WARNING: the URL pattern (passing the parameters) changes completely

New features

Utility functions not specific to Shiny architecture have been moved to a separate file.
Use logger package for fancy logging.
