eplusr v0.15.2

New features

• A new encoding parameter has been added in read_idf(), use_idd() and
  read_epw(). The default value is unknown which indicates that the input
  file is native encoded (#515).
• Now validate_level option is respected when parsing EPW files. This makes it
  possible to parse EPW files with non-standard EPW header values, which is
  useful when only the core EPW data is needed (#520). E.g:

  with_option(list(validate_level = "none"), read_epw(YOUR_EPW_PATH))
  

Bug fixes

• Now IdfGeometry$coord_system() can correctly work. The coordinate system
  type can also be "world". "absolute" input now is automatically converted
  to "world" to be compatible with EnergyPlus. IdfGeometry$coord_system()
  now returns itself by default, instead of the parent Idf object. This
  enables to check the modified coordinate systems by printing the IdfGeometry
  (#506 #507).
• Fix Idf$load() when input is a single string without any new line (\n)
  (#510).
• Fix IdfViewer$snapshot() for PNG output. A new parameter webshot has been
  added in IdfViewer$snapshot() with default value being FALSE (#509).
• Now IdfSchedule$... <- val works (#512).
• Fix the error of invalid datetime in Epw$data() when data of Feb 28 is from
  a leap year while the EPW did not contain any leap year data (#522).

Documentation

• Regenerate package documentation to fix CRAN NOTES on HTML manuals (#525).
