About antaresread
The R reader for Antares Simulator studies, pinned to whatever the simulator ships next
antaresRead loads Antares Simulator studies from disk or the Antares Web API into R. Its release history maps one-to-one onto simulator versions: 2.9.2 for Antares 9.2, 2.9.3 for 9.3, and the 3.0.x line for the study-format changes that followed. The recurring work is the converted study version format (9.0 becoming 900) which has now been fixed or re-fixed in three consecutive releases, and 3.1.0 turns that churn into a declared breaking change as Antares Web 2.33.0 introduces yet another numbering scheme.
