Changes in version 1.8.0 SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES o Add 'try.blob.as.list' argument to UCSC_dbselect(). The argument is set to FALSE by default. This means that, from now on, any column of type blob returned by RMariaDB is converted to a character vector by default. Note that setting 'try.blob.as.list' to TRUE restores the previous behavior where UCSC_dbselect() first tries to convert any blob column to a list of integers, and falls back to the character vector representation if that didn't work.
