quanteda version 3: New major release

quanteda 3.0 is a major release that improves functionality, completes the modularisation of the package begun in v2.0, further improves function consistency by removing previously deprecated functions, and enhances workflow stability and consistency by deprecating some shortcut steps built into some functions.

See https://github.com/quanteda/quanteda/blob/master/NEWS.md#quanteda-30 for a full list of the changes.

How To…

How to Install

The normal way from CRAN, using your R GUI or

install.packages("quanteda") 

Or for the latest development version:

# devtools package required to install quanteda from Github 
remotes::install_github("quanteda/quanteda") 

Because this compiles some C++ and Fortran source code, you will need to have installed the appropriate compilers to build the development version.
