f1dataR 1.4.0

f1dataR 1.3.0

• Updated documentation per requirements after CRAN review
• Changed caching behavior per requirements after CRAN review. If you previously had set a cache directory options("f1dataR.cache" = [dir]) there will be no change. If you had previously not specified a cache directory, the package used to use the result of getwd(), so you can force that directory. New users can specify a default file cache location by setting options("f1dataR.cache" = "filesystem") or specify any other (existing) directory by setting the option.

Cache will otherwise use memory as a default until the end of the R session or for 24h (whichever comes first). Caching can be turned off by setting the option to “off”
