HTML5+

• Update to use HTML5 for documentation pages
• Remove long running example code to fit within execution limits (<5 sec)
• Remove cached data to reduce release size

Return of the (Regression) Vignette

• Bring back the Regression package vignette
• Correct issue #32:plot.gg_interaction.R Produce variable interaction plots with the order of the faceting to match the minimal depth rank order
• Improve package tests and code coverage
• Clean up code using lintr
• Re-add survival function tests using skip_on_cran

V2.1.0 Align with randomForestSRC 3.1 release

V2.0.x was "archived" when randomForestSRC was temporarily removed from CRAN. This release is to "un-archive" the CRAN version.

• Remove survival tests and cached data sets to conform to CRAN release criteria. Future work to move this back and use skip_on_cran for tests and examples
• Finally fix the gg_error plot bug (issue #35) where the curve was not showing up.

V2.0.1 Optimized for package size.

Rethinking how to do package examples, tests and vignettes since building the randomForest takes serious time, and caching the RF results takes serious space.

For now, vignettes and tests are being moved to the ggRFvignettes package at https://github.com/ehrlinger/ggRFVignette, at least until I get this all sorted out.

One major advantage of this move should be more stability with new releases of the randomForestSRC package https://cran.r-project.org/package=randomForestSRC.
