NEW FEATURES

The corpus_install() gives much better and nicer reports on steps performed during corpus downloads. User dialogues have been reworked thoroughly to provide better user guidance.
The use_corpus_registry_envvar() function is called by corpus_install() and will amend the .Renviron file as appropriate if the user so desires.
To resolve a DOI, the 'zen4R' package is used, to extract information on the whereabouts of a corpus tarball efficiently from the Zenodo API.
A corpus_testload() has been implemented to check whether a (newly installed) corpus is accessible.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

Extracting the version number from the corpus tarball is somewhat more forgiving if the version number does not start with "v".
The registry file for a newly downloaded corpus is refreshed only if a temporary registry directory is used.
To remedy the fairly common error that the path to the info file is not stated correctly in the registry file, a fallback mechanism will look up potential alternatives to an info file stated wrongly.

BUG FIXES

The json string returned from Zenodo may include newline strings that are escaped such that they cannot be processed by jsonlite::fromJSON(). The auxiliary function to get and process information from Zenodo now ensures that newline characters are escaped such that they can be processed.
The corpus_copy() function did not set the path to the info file to the new data directory - corrected.
The corpus_install() function failed when the registry_dir got a NULL value from the default call to cwbtools::cwb_registry_dir(). But if the directories are created, the registry directory is there. Fixed.
Removed a bug (faulty assignment) that would prevent that the path of a registry file is handled correctly (i.e. wrapped in quotation marks) by registry_file_compose() when the path includes any whitespace characters.

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

A problem with updating the curl dependency of cwbtools that may arise when devtools::install_github() is used is addressed in an extended explanation in the README.md file how to install the development version of cwbtools using remotes::install_github() (#21).
