  variables) (#70)
* `copy_labels()` is less restrictive for non labelled vectors, copying variable label
  even if the two vectors are not of the same type (#71)
* a `.strict` option has been added to `copy_labels()` (#71)

# labelled 2.6.0

* `look_for()` has been redesigned:
    - `look_for()` now returns a tibble
    - columns with multiple values for each variable are now stored as named lists
    - a print method has been added for a clearer presentation of results in the console
    - use `lookfor_to_long_format()` to convert results with one row per factor level
      and per value label
    - use `convert_list_columns_to_character()` to convert list columns to 
      simpler character vectors
    - `generate_dictionary()` is an equivalent of `look_for()`

* `update_labelled()` has been improved to allow to reconstruct
  all labelled vectors created with a previous version of `haven`

# labelled 2.3.1

* an additional argument `keep_var_label` for `remove_labels()`
* bug fix for `unlabelled()` when applied on a vector
* when using `unclass = TRUE` with `to_factor()`, attributes 
  are not removed anymore

# labelled 2.3.0

* new function `unlabelled()`

# labelled 2.2.2

* bug fix for `look_for()` (#52 by @NoahMarconi)
* bug fix in `val_labels_to_na()` documentation

# labelled 2.2.1

  are now preserved (#48, thanks to @mspittler)

# labelled 2.2.0

* new function `copy_labels_from()`, compliant with `dplyr` syntax
* `update_labelled()` is now more strict (#42 by @iago-pssjd)
* new functions `look_for()` and `lookfor()` imported from `questionr` (#44)

  vector of same length as the number of columns.
* `set_variable_labels` has a new `.labels` argument.
* New `unclass` option in `to_factor()`, to be used when `strict = TRUE` (#36)
* Following `haven` version 2.1.0, it is not mandatory anymore to define a value 
  label before defining a SPSS style missing value. `labelled_spss()`, `na_values()`
  and `na_range()` have been updated accordingly (#37)

# labelled 2.0.2

* `to_factor()` bug fix then applied on a data.frame (#33)

# labelled 2.0.1

* `update_labelled()` bug fix then applied on a data.frame (#31)

# labelled 2.0.0

## BREAKING CHANGE

* Following version 2.0.0 of `haven`, `labelled()` and `labelled_spss()` now
  produce objects with class "haven_labelled" and "haven_labelled_spss", due
  to conflict between the previous "labelled" class and the "labelled" class
  used by `Hmisc`.
* A new function `update_labelled()` could be used to convert data imported
  with an older version of `haven` to the new classes.
