Release devtools 2.2.0 · r-lib/devtools

New Features

create() added back, the RStudio IDE uses create() in the create packages
dialog, so removing it in version 2.1.0 broke old versions of the IDE.
New dev_sitrep() function to return information about your development
environment and diagnose common problems. The former functions
dr_devtools() and dr_github() have been deprecated. (#1970)
All functions taking ... now use the ellipsis package. This catches errors
when arguments are misspelled or incorrectly specified (#2016)

build_vignettes() now correctly installs the vignette builder if it is not
already installed (#2089).
dev_sitrep() now uses the same endpoint to detect the current RStudio
version as the IDE (#2050).
document() gains a quiet parameter, to silence output and check() now
passes its quiet argument to it (#1986).
Add the DT package as a dependency, so that test_coverage() and
test_coverage_file() work without having to install additional packages
(#2085).
check_man() now succeeds when tools::undoc() returns empty results
(#1944).
check_win_*() functions gain a email argument, so temporarily change the
email the check results will be sent to (#1723).
install() now explicitly unloads packages before trying to install a new
version (#2094).
All install_*() functions now attach build tools to the PATH, which makes them work on
Windows when RTools is not on the default PATH (#2093).
test_coverage_file() now works when there is not a 1 to 1 correspondence
between test and source files (#2011).
release() now works again when pkg is not the current working directory
(#1974).
release() now works without error when options("repos") is unnamed (#1956).
