Changes in version 2.0 (2024-07-06)                   

    o   `beep_on_error` rethrows the error after beeping. This is a breaking change from 1.3.

    o   Fixed a bug that resulted in R crashing when calling `beep()` multiple times in a short time frame. (#26)

    o   Removed the dependency on `stringr`. (#42)

    o   Allowed `beep(-1)` or `beep("none")` to result in no sound being played.  (#29)

    o   Fixed a bug where the download sound-option did not work on Windows. (#41)

    o   Changed the Linux sound player priority order to aplay -> paplay -> vlc. (#39)

                  Changes in version 1.3 (2018-06-04)                   

    o   Fixed a bug that made it impossible to play files with spaces on Linux.

    o   Added a new function beep_on_error that only beeps if an expression results in an error. (Courtesy of @dobbleobble).

                  Changes in version 1.2 (2015-06-14)                   

    o   Removed the previously deprecated `ping` function.

    o   Fixed incompatibility with `stringr` 1.0.0

    o   Added support for playing urls like beep("http://www.kessels.com/catsounds/cat1.wav"). Currently "beep" can only handle http urls, https is not supported.

    o   Added "sword" sound inspired by the presentation by Yihui Xie at UseR! 2014 (https://github.com/yihui/knitr-talks/tree/master/useR2014)

                  Changes in version 1.1 (2014-06-26)                   

    o   beep() throws a warning instead of an error if no working audio interface is found. The rationale for this is that it would be worse if a long analysis was aborted due to the notification system failing rather than to not throw a proper error.

    o   Changed the name of the package from `pingr` to `beepr`.

    o   Renamed `ping()` to `beep()`.

                  Changes in version 1.0 (2014-06-25)                   

    o   Added the possibility to use `paplay` to play audio on Linux.

    o   Changed the priority for which audio program is used first on Linux. `paplay` and `aplay` is now tried first and VLC is used as the last resort.

    o   It is now possible to play any wav-file using `ping("my_wav_fil.wav")`

                         Changes in version 0.1                         

    o   Intial release.
