+rnoaa 0.6.5
+===========
+
+### MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
+
+* Added notes to docs of functions that do file caching - where
+to find cached files.
+* `meteo_clear_cache` gains parameter `force` to control `force`
+parameter in `unlink()`
+* Removed `lubridate` usage in `seaiceurls()` function, just using
+base R functions.
+
+### BUG FIXES
+
+* Fixed bug which was affecting binary installs only. We accidentally
+determined a path on package build, such that the user
+of the CRAN binary build machine got inserted into the path.
+This is now fixed. (#173)
