Versioning

Releases will be numbered with the following semantic versioning format:

And constructed with the following guidelines:

Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor
and patch)
New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor
(and resets the patch)
Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch

BUG FIXES

hash_lemmas had the lemma of as to be a. This was incorrect (spotted by
Jonathan Bratt).
hash_lemmas had Spaces before 2 tokens (" furtherst", " skilled") meaning.
This extra white space has been stripped.
The hash_sentiment_senticnett dictionary contained "sparsely" which is also
contained in hash_valence_shifters. This term has been dropped from the
hash_sentiment_senticnett dictionary. See # 12 for more info.

NEW FEATURES

profanity_zac_anger added to provide a longer list of profane words.
profanity_racist added to provide a profane list that is specific for
detecting racist terms.
key_regressive_imagery added to provide R users with access to Colin
Martindale's (1975, 1990) English Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID). The
Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID) is a text analysis coding taxonomy that
can be used to measure the degree to which a text is primordial vs.
conceptual.
key_corporate_social_responsibility added to provide R users with access to
Pencle & Mălăescu's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Dictionary.

MINOR FEATURES

available_data picks up a regex argument to search for specific substrings
and return matching rows.

IMPROVEMENTS

hash_sentiment_jockers_rinker now contains the word 'fuckin'. Additionally,
the word 'fucking' has a milder negative value because this word, though often
used as a negator, is also used as a amplifier. By reducing it's weight it
allows more positive words to have more pull but if no polarized words exist
'fucking' will still keep the typical negative direction of the clause.
