Text control link update

Bug Fix for #307

This release changes the way that the HTML control's links are rendered. If the link is internal (starting with a #), it will be rendered without the target attribute, and open in the same window. Other links will continue to open in a new window.

New controls and bug fixes

This release includes a number of new controls, and fixes for some bugs.

Fix html widgets

Fixes for date pickers, rPrint and data tables

This release contains bug fixes for the following issues:

#149
Default dates now appear in forms. In particular, the date range control is now working correctly, either with start/end date or start date + interval. Note that notebook dates can now be specified as characters (with dashes) or dates.

#150
rPrint controls should now maintain their formatting

#145
Data table columns may now contain a '.' in their title without an issue to that table's rendering.

Browser compatibility fixes

This release fixes some browser compatibility issues that caused the dashboard not to show up in Safari and older versions of Chrome.

It also fixes the email-screenshot tool, which uses a phantom.js headless browser.

Bug fixes and selected form control values

• Allow viewing of dashboard straight from RCAP: #139
• All widgets - Function list scroll: #100
• Multiple selected form values can now be specified in function returns which fixes #32
• Multiple selected values do not work with the multi-select control: #136
• General designer dialog visual improvements.

New controls, canvas sizing and bug fixes.

• Action button, #31
  The new 'action button' control allows developers to trigger functions based on a variable change. Wiki entry for action button.
• Canvas - default size, #95
  Width and alignment for canvas set with query string parameters. Wiki entry for embedding RCAP in an iframe.
• Date range control, #54
  The new 'date range' control allows developers to specify a date range, either as start/end date, or start + interval. Wiki entry for using dates.
• Bug fix: modified state should now always be set appropriately, #84
  This bug addresses an issue where some changes in the designer were not setting the 'modified' state correctly.

Htmlwidgets and other fixes

• Fix html widgets on non-visible pages #96
• Speed up html widgets (requires a new version of RCloud, not released yet) #98
• Data tables can set set background and text color for columns now, towards #99
  See documentation at https://github.com/att/rcloud.rcap/wiki/Documentation-for-DataTables-in-RCAP#add-column-colors
• Change the build process, the repository is a proper R package, which facilitates installation. #4
  This does not affect you if you are installing from the released R package tarball.
