# CHANGES IN reproducer VERSION 0.3.1

## NEW FEATURES
- Data set: `MadeyskiLewowski.IndustryRelevantGitHubJavaProjects20191022` - over 15\% of entries present in this data set is not present in the previous data set `MadeyskiLewowski.IndustryRelevantGitHubJavaProjects20190324` due to moved time windows for the project creation and last push dates.


## UPDATED FEATURES
- Updated function `searchForIndustryRelevantGitHubProjects` - now supports flexible creation date and last push thresholds (enabling the script to better support researchers interested in gathering evolving data sets).


# CHANGES IN reproducer VERSION 0.3.0

# CHANGES IN reproducer VERSION 0.2.1

## UPDATED FEATURES
- Fixed version of the package in README
- Added warning to the `ExtractMAStatistics` function: it works with `metafor` version 2.0-0, but changes to metafor's method of providing access to its individual results may introduce errors into the function.
