deepdep 0.4.2 (2023-02-20)

fixed bug caused by breaking change in igraph related to assigning attributes to graph nodes (issue #51)
fixed bug which made plots unable to be rendered when there are no dependencies

fixed bug where plot_dependencies() wouldn't remove all invalid dependencies when using declutter = TRUE (issue #35)
fixed bug where plot_dependencies() would sometimes raise an error when using show_version = TRUE and depth >= 2 (issue #36)
fixed bug where plot_dependencies() would plot one non-central label even when using label_percentage = 0 (issue #38)
tests that use CRAN download counts now skip on CRAN only

removed hard dependencies on plotting-related packages; ggplot2, ggraph, graphlayouts, igraph, and scales are now Suggests instead of Imports (issue #32)
removed unused dependency on ggforce
added declutter parameter for plot_dependencies() that allows for ignoring non-strong dependencies of Suggests while plotting (issue #27)
vcr package is now optional for running tests (pull request #26)

adjusted parameter of deepdep function similarly to get_dependencies (issue #24)

adjusted dependency_type argument to be consistent with tools package (issue #19)
added show_stamp parameter for plot function (issue #20)

wrapped deepdep in tests with tryCatch in case of R-devel and Bioc-devel versions mismatch
marked all non-local examples with "donttest"
adjusted to new version of the vcr package

this versions are attempts to eliminating all possible errors during checks associated with problems with internet connection: this consists of marking time-consuming examples by "donttest" in the documentation, using the vcr package to mock up api queries and creating pre-compiled vignettes

fixed an error in deepdep that caused dependencies of one package to be added to the result many times
the way in which dependency layers are created during plotting has been improved
added columns in deepdep object, informing in which dependency layers the source and target packages are located
allowed more than five layers of dependencies on plot created by plot_dependencies()
fixed bugs caused by plot_dependencies() used with label_percentage parameter
plot_dependencies() used with label_percentage parameter now shows small dots whenever package has not enough downloads to be plotted with label (instead of empty labels, as previously)

first stable version of the deepdep package
implemented functions: deepdep(), get_available_packages(), get_dependencies(), get_description(), get_downloads(), plot_dependencies()
