+# EIAdata 0.1.3
+
+- Updated `getEIA` and `getCatEIA` to use https.  This required adding the `httr` package as an additional dependency.
+
+# EIAdata 0.1.2
+
+- Removed `wngsr` because it was causing trouble in the CRAN checks.  It was also not widely used as far as I know. The function is still available in the `continue_with_wngsr` branch.
