 * Add `igraph_subgraph_from_edges` wrapper to used work around deprecation
   messages and alternate between `igraph::subgraph.edges` and 
   `igraph::subgraph_from_edges` depending on the `igraph` version.
+  
+* Address CRAN results issues
+
+* In `install_packages_process` use `withCallingHandlers` instead
+  of the `tryCatch` to prevent accidental interruptions if `install.packages()`
+  triggers a benign warning.
