+mapmetadata 3.0.0 (2025-01-06)
+=========================
+
+Thanks in part to helpful rOpenSci editor comments (https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/674) this release makes some improvements to the package, making it more suitable for the rOpenSci software review process, which will be based on this new release going forward.
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES

+* Combined the browse function into the map function to simplify package use for the user
+* Changed some function names to match object_verb convention
+* Now using csv (not json) as the the metadata input to reflect the new structure from Health Data Research Gateway
+* Removed some custom functions, because utils already offered these! (or very similar)
+
+### NEW FEATURES
+
+* Clearer and more detailed user documentation in README and package website 
+
+### MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
+
+* Logo has been replaced to reflect new package name
+* Updated DESCRIPTION file to directly mention Health Data Research Gateway as a data source for this package, normalised the DESCRIPTION file formatting
+* Open up the html output file automatically in the user's browser, insteading of prompting the user to do this manually
+* Internal functions no longer listed on the package website, only user functions
+* Handle temp directories better in unit tests, by using `withr::local_tempdir()`
+* Improved unit tests by using `testthat::local_mocked_bindings`
