This is the development version; changes will be listed as they are made.

There are no ERRORs, WARNINGs, or NOTEs returned by devtools::check().

New function: make_json creates a JSON containing name/value pairs from a named vector. Optionally adds the JSON file name to the ‘gitignore’ (if one can be found in the working directory)
New function: solar_day_info identifies sunrise, sunset, solar noon, and day length for all dates within a user-specified range at particular coordinates
Function update: harmonize now includes new defensive warning/error checks with informative messages for likely sources of error
Unit tests added for all functions currently in package. Likely limited impact on users except better adherence to best practice will make for a stronger package in the long run
