 ## On-disk changes
 
 Group-level metadata is now natively supported by TileDB so `TileDBGroup`-based classes no longer create nested `__tiledb_group_metadata` arrays for the purpose of storing group-level metadata.

 * The `uri` field for all TileDB(Array|Group)-based classes is now an active binding that retrieves the URI from the private `tiledb_uri` field
 * Several default parameters have been changed to store the the `X`, `obs`, and `var` arrays more efficiently on disk (#50)
 * Seurat cell identities are now stored in the `active_ident` attribute of the `obs` array (#56)
+* Require at least version 0.13.0 of tiledb-r to support retrieval of group names
