Missing changes between CRAN releases #10

Description

@llrs

Many thanks for this service. It is very useful!

However, I noted a problem, that I think is worth raising here.
I maintain rtweet, and I "released" a version 1.0.0. But this never made it into CRAN and I had to resubmit. Following CRAN's policies I increased the patch version of my package. The diffify page only shows the NEWS and changes from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 not with the previously released (CRAN) version 0.7.0, see the NEWS for comparison. Thus missing a lot of changes that are hidden (arguments,...).

I'm not sure what it the best way to handle this for both R and python. But if the package is on CRAN or Bioconductor I would compare with the last released version and not the previous title in the NEWS.

    Thanks for the comment.

    So if I understand this, v1.0.0 is missing in the NEWS tab, but I presume the actual changes are still shown on the page (https://diffify.com/R/rtweet/0.7.0/1.0.2)?

    Yes, the changes in the dependencies show all the changes.
    It is just the NEWS that misses the text describing the changes of "in-between" versions.

    Just was revisiting this, and I found a bit unclear, so I take the opportunity to clarify what I meant.

    In the comparison doesn't show the NEWS of 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.
    It just displays the 1.0.2 changes (the version that was accepted by CRAN):

    Hi @llrs, thanks for your message! Apologies for the delay with getting this sorted. I started working on a fix a couple of months ago but got sidetracked with some other commitments. I will aim to address this within the next month or so. I'll get in touch once fixed!
