RPushbullet 0.3.5: Mostly Maintenance

RPpushbullet demo

A new version 0.3.5 of the RPushbullet package arrived on CRAN. It marks the first release in 4 1/2 years for this mature and feature-stable package. RPushbullet interfaces the neat Pushbullet service for inter-device messaging, communication, and more. It lets you easily send (programmatic) alerts like the one to the left to your browser, phone, tablet, … – or all at once.

This releases reflects mostly internal maintenance and updates to the documentation site, to continuous integration, to package metadata, … and one code robustitication. See below for more details.
