Over at https://github.com/IQSS/IQSSdevtools/issues/1 @christophergandrud just asked if it's possible to create a new version of an existing dataset using dataverse-client-r. It's definitely possible from the Dataverse API side, but I wasn't able to quickly figure out if it's supported by this client or not.

This is possible already using the publish_dataset() function. Let me know if I can make this clearer (I'm sure it will be shortly once I finish documenting some of the native API features).

Awesome. Thanks @leeper

@leeper nice chatting with you about this in person today! I'm glad to hear you're able to wrangle the JSON format easily enough.
