Log Message:
(textproc/R-readxl) Updated 1.3.1 to 1.5.0

# readxl 1.5.0

* readxl should once again compile on Alpine Linux (#775).

* `read_excel()` and friends should no longer emit a spurious "Access
  is denied" warning when reading a file on a network drive and the
  user doesn't have access to a parent directory (#730).

* Minimum version of cpp11 has been bumped to v0.5.5, because cpp11
  v0.5.4 (and only that exact version of cpp11) causes readxl to
  segfault when warning about coercion issues (#784).

# readxl 1.4.5

This release contains no user-facing changes.
It eliminates a warning seen with gcc UBSAN.

# readxl 1.4.4

This release contains no user-facing changes.

* readxl embeds libxls v1.6.3, with release notes at
  <https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/tag/v1.6.3>.
  This version of libxls fixes several vulnerabilities.
* Other small internal changes have been made to comply with CRAN requests,
  such as avoiding the use of `Rf_StringTrue()`.

# readxl 1.4.3

This release contains no user-facing changes.

# readxl 1.4.2

This release contains no user-facing changes.

* We embed a development version of libxls
(<https://github.com/libxls/libxls>), which is based on the most
recent released version, v1.6.2.  The reason for embedding a
development version is to ship a version of libxls that incorporates
the fix for this CVE (#679):

  - [CVE-2021-27836](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-27836)

* readxl no longer declares the use of C++11.

* readxl should once again compile on Alpine Linux.

* Other small readxl-specific patches have been made to the embedded
  libxls code to comply with CRAN requests, such as avoiding the use
  of `sprintf()`.

# readxl 1.4.1

Help files below `man/` have been re-generated, so that they give rise
to valid HTML5. (This is the impetus for this release, to keep the
package safely on CRAN.)

# readxl 1.4.0

This release is mostly about substantial internal changes that should
not be noticeable to most users (but that set the stage for future
work):

* Updating the embedded version of libxls (more below)
* Switching from Rcpp to cpp11 (more below)
* Refactoring to reduce duplication between the `.xls` and `.xlsx` branches

However, there are a few small features / bug fixes:

* "Date or Not Date": The classification of number formats as being
  datetime-ish is more sophisticated and should no longer be so easily
  fooled by, e.g., colours or currencies. This affects cell and column
  type guessing, hopefully for the better (#388, #559, @nacnudus,
  @reviewher).

* Cell location is determined more robustly in `.xlsx` files, guarding
  against the idiosyncratic way in which certain 3rd party tools
  include (or, rather, do not include) cell location in individual
  cell nodes (#648, #671).

* Warning messages for impossible dates are more specific.
  Unsupported dates prior to 1900 have their own message now, instead
  of being lumped in with dates on the non-existent day of February
  29, 1900 (#551, #554, @cderv).

## Dependency and licensing changes

* readxl is now licensed as MIT (#632).

* readxl now states its support for R >= 3.4 explicitly.
  Why 3.4? Because the [tidyverse
  policy](https://tidyverse.org/blog/2019/04/r-version-support/) is to
  support the current version, the devel version, and four previous
  versions of R.  It was necessary to introduce a minimum R version,
  in order to state a minimum version for a package listed in
  `LinkingTo`.

* readxl embeds libxls v1.6.2 (the previous release embedded v1.5.0).
  The libxls project is hosted at <https://github.com/libxls/libxls>
  and you can learn more about the cumulative changes in its release
  notes:

  - [v1.6.2](https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/tag/v1.6.2)
  - [v1.6.1](https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/tag/v1.6.1)
  - [v1.6.0](https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/tag/v1.6.0)
  - [v1.5.3](https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/tag/v1.5.3)
  - [v1.5.2](https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/tag/v1.5.2)
  - [v1.5.1](https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/tag/v1.5.1)

* readxl has switched from Rcpp to cpp11 and now requires C++11 (#659,
  @sbearrows).

* The minimum version of tibble has been bumped to 2.0.1 (released
  2019-01-12), completing the transition to an approach to column name
  repair used across the tidyverse.
