rgho 3.0.2.9000

Fix problems with filters. The API changed to provide values preceded with the name of the dimension.

rgho 3.0.0 (2022-08-30)

This new version of rgho now uses the most recent API of the WHO, which simplifies considerably the package, and relies on the package ODataQuery.

Breaking changes

• Objects created with get_gho_* are now of class "gho" and "data.frame"
• Former lower-level access to the API do not work anymore
• If a connection error occurs, the function returns an empty list with a message as argument
• The proxy settings and the number of retries are now managed by ODataQuery package.
• There is no memoisation anymore
• get_gho_codes() is superseded by get_gho_values() to better reflect the new API terminology
