  reading data back. The convert information is stored in the metadata
  and added to the data frame attributes.
• read_vc() now applies conversions specified in the metadata and adds
  the convert information to the data frame attributes.
• Bugfix in rename_variable() thanks to @florisvdh for finding and fixing the
  bug.

Release v0.5.1

  the presence of a set of variables.
  It return the data upon success.

## Internal changes

* Upgrade to Roxygen2 7.1.2

BREAKING FEATURES

• Calculation of data hash has changed (#53).
  You must use upgrade_data() to read data stored by an older version.
• is_git2rdata() and upgrade_data() do not test equality in data hashes any more (but read_vc() still does).
• write_vc() and read_vc() fail when file is a location outside of root (#50).
• Reordering factor levels requires strict = TRUE.

Bugfixes

• Linux and Windows machines now generated the same data hash (#49).

NEW FEATURES

• Internal sorting uses the "C" locale, regardless of the current locale.
