- Added support for comprehensive autopilot: usemode = AutopilotMode.Comprehensive.

### Enhancements

- The functionRequestFeatureImpactnow accepts arowCountargument, which will change the sample size used for Feature Impact calculations.
- The un-exported functiondatarobot:::UploadDatanow takes an optional argumentfileName.

### Bugfixes

- Fixed an issue where an undocumented feature incurl==5.0.1is installed that caused any invocation ofdatarobot:::UploadData(i.e.,SetupProject) to fail with the errorNo method asJSON S3 class: form_file.
- Loading thedatarobotpackage withsuppressPackageStartupMessages()will now suppress all messages.

### API changes

- The functionsListProjectsandas.data.frame.projectSummaryListno longer return fields related to recommender models, which were removed in v2.5.0.
- The functionSetTargetnow sets autopilot mode to Quick by default. Additionally, when Quick is passed, the underlying/aimendpoint will no longer be invoked with Auto.

- Added dependency onAmesHousingpackage for updated "Introduction to DataRobot" vignette.
- Removed dependency onMASSpackage.
- Client documentation is now explicitly generated with Roxygen2 v7.2.3.

### Documentation changes

- Updated the "Introduction to DataRobot" vignette to use Ames, Iowa housing data instead of the Boston housing dataset.

## R client v2.31

Version v2.31 of the R client is available for preview. It can be installed via [GitHub](https://github.com/datarobot/rsdk/releases/tag/v2.31.0.9000).

This version of the R client addresses an issue where a new feature in the `curl==5.0.1` package caused any invocation of `datarobot:::UploadData` (i.e., `SetupProject`) to fail with the error `No method asJSON S3 class: form_file`.

### Enhancements

The unexported function `datarobot:::UploadData` now takes an optional argument `fileName`.

### Bugfixes

Loading the `datarobot` package with `suppressPackageStartupMessages()` will now suppress all messages.
