evanodell/hansard: hansard 0.5.5

Function changes

lords_attendance() has been deprecated. Please use lords_attendance_date() for attendance data for a given date, and lords_attendance_session() for attendance from a given session ID. (#4, @pssguy)

New function lords_sessions() returns a tibble with details of all sessions in the House of Lords between two given dates.

commons_oral_question_times() now only returns one question ID.

Tidying with commons_divisions() now separates vote number from division ID, and the function no longer returns two rows to summarise a division when only one is needed.

Changes to syntax for constituencies(). The current parameter can now distinguish between current constituencies (TRUE), former (FALSE) and all constituencies (NULL).

Simplification of some internal code, which may have a marginal effect on speed, and will make maintenance and adding features easier going forward.

Switch from using stringr to stringi for internal string processing.

sessions_info() is now faster.
