easyPSID 0.1.3 (2026-08-04)

• Updated the internal PSID cross-year index from the official workbook through the 2023 wave.
• Fixed find_name() and find_years() for variables that occur in only one wave, including ER30002.
• Preserved ER30001 and ER30002 across waves when reshaping the cross-year individual file.
• Added tests for current-wave lookups, stable individual identifiers, and family-file renaming.
• Clarified that convert_to_rds() expects the ASCII .txt and Stata .do files distributed in PSID packaged-data downloads, not Stata .dta files.
• Updated convert_to_rds() for current packaged downloads by pairing every data file with its identically named import script and ignoring the separate _formats.do value-label scripts.
