This patch release of workflowr includes minor improvements, updated documentation, and bug fixes. Users are encouraged to upgrade workflowr so that it is compatible with the next release of fs (>1.4.1).

• Make the HTTP calls by wflow_use_github() to the GitHub API more resilient to transient network issues by automatically retrying HTTP calls more than once (@jameslamb, #199, #201)
• Enhance the RStudio Project Template to include more arguments from wflow_start() (@trannhatanh89, #193, #200)
• Throw error early if user sets overwrite = TRUE to wflow_start() but existing = FALSE, since it isn't possible to overwrite non-existent files (@skpurdue, #194, #202, idea from @pcarbo)

• Update FAQ entry on external images to note that the website directory for GitLab Pages is public/, not docs/ (idea from @ryurko)

• Send warning if Python plots created using outdated version of reticulate (<1.15) (bug report from @lazappi, #181)
• Make workflowr compatible with fs version 1.4.1.9000+ (@jimhester, #204)
• Set minimum version requirement for dependency rprojroot to 1.2
• Skip test of error handling of deleted working directory on Solaris
