New features

  • New install_bioc() function and bioc remote to install Bioconductor
    packages from their SVN repository.
  • install_dev_deps() gets everything you need to start development on source
    package - it installs all dependencies, and roxygen2 (#1193).
  • use_dev_version() automates the process of switching from a release
    version number by tweaking the DESCRIPTION, adding a heading to
    NEWS.md (if present), and checking into git (if you use it) (#1076.)
  • use_github() accepts a host argument, similar to install_github()
    (@ijlyttle, #1101)

Bug fixes and minor improvements

  • Update with Rtools-3.4 information, (@jimhester)
  • devtools now uses https to access the RStudio CRAN mirror if it will work
    on your system (#1059)
  • Handle case when a GitHub request returns a non-JSON error response.
    (@jimhester, #1204, #1211)
  • Suggested packages, including those specified as Remotes: are now installed
    after package installation. This allows you to use circular Remotes:
    dependencies for two related packages as long as one of the dependencies is a
    Suggested package. (@jimhester, #1184, tidyverse/dplyr#1809)
  • bug fix for installation of binary packages on windows, they must be
    installed directly from a zip file. (@jimhester, #1191, #1192)
  • build_vignette() will now only install the "VignetteBuilder" if it's
    not present, not try and upgrade it if it is (#1139).
  • clean_dll() Only removes package_name.def files and now operates
    recursively. (@jimhester, #1175, #1159, #1161)
  • check_man() now prints a message if no problems are found (#1187).
  • install_* functions and update_packages() refactored to allow updating of
    packages installed using any of the install methods. (@jimhester, #1067)
  • install_github() now uses https://api.github.com as the host argument, so
    users can specify 'http:' or other protocols if needed. (@jimhester, #1131, #1200)
  • load_all() runs package hooks before sourcing test helper files
    allowing test helper to make use of objects created when a package is loaded
    or attached. (@imanuelcostigan, #1146)
  • revdep_check() will now create the revdep/ directory if it does not
    already exist (#1178).
  • source_gist() gains a filename argument to specify a particular file to
    source from a GitHub gist. (@ateucher, #1172)
  • Add a default codecov.yml file to turn off commenting with use_coverage()
    (@jimhester, #1188)
  • Bug fix for 'nchar(text) : invalid multibyte string' errors when running
    write_dcf() on DESCRIPTION files with non-ASCII encodings (#1224, @jimhester).
