Update the C implementation to adapt to R C API changes in R 4.6.0
(@ArcadeAntics,
#391).
box 1.2.1
Bug fixes
Suppress a spurious internal warning upon reloading a module, caused
by a dependent module being imported more than once (#363).
Miscellaneous
Changed the way environments are locked, since environment unlocking
is no longer allowed by the CRAN policies.
box 1.2.0
Breaking changes
Deprecation warning: in the next major version, ‘box’ will
read the environment variable R_BOX_PATH only
once, at package load time. Modifying its value afterwards will
have no effect, unless the package is unloaded and reloaded.
‘box’ no longer supports R 3.5 since the R build infrastructure (in
particular ‘devtools’) no longer supports it.
Bug fixes
Fix backports definitions so that they work in binary packages that
were created using newer R versions (#347).
Replace call to function that was added in R 4.0.0 to make package
work again in R 3.6.3 (#335).
New and improved features
Prevent accidental misuse by checking that arguments to
box::file() and box::export() are unnamed
(#334).
The method argument of
box::register_S3_method() is now optional (#305).
box 1.1.3
Bug fixes
Silence warnings caused by an internal change of the R HTML help
display functionality (#255, #278).
Support loading modules inside RStudio even when ‘rstudioapi’ is not
installed (#293).
Do not crash in the presence of missing arguments in function calls
inside modules (#266).
Support trailing comma in in reexports via box::use()
(#263).
New and improved features
Add box::topenv() function, analogous to
base::topenv() (#310).
Support lazy loading data from packages (#219).
Improve error messages for invalid box::use()
declarations (#253).
Add box::purge_cache() function to force reloading all
modules (@kamilzyla, #236).
box 1.1.2
(Version update for technical reasons; no changes.)
box 1.1.1
(Version update for technical reasons; no changes.)
box 1.1.0
Breaking changes
Modules without any @export declarations now export all
visible names (= names not starting with a dot). To restore the previous
behaviour of a module without exports, call box::export()
inside the module.
box::set_script_path() now returns the full
path previously set, as documented, not just its parent directory’s
path. Existing code that relies on this function’s previously incorrect
behaviour will need to be updated.
Bug fixes
Work around broken isRunning() function in Shiny ≥1.6.0
(#237).
Return the full path from box::set_script_path(), as
documented, not just the parent directory’s path;
box::script_path() now also returns that path without
requiring the user to set a new path (#239).
Improve detection of whether code is called from inside RStudio
(#225).
Work around an R bug in path handling on non-Windows platforms when
paths passed to the R binary contain spaces.
Make HTML rendering of interactive module help work on Windows
(#223).
Prevent a segfault in R ≤ 3.6.1 caused by a missing declaration of
an internal C symbol (#213).
Allow exporting modules that were previously loaded using a
different prefix (#211).
Reload dependencies when reloading a module (#39, #165, #195).
Don’t crash in the presence of nested, expanded functions inside
modules (#203, #204).
New and improved features
Improve error messages when calling box::unload() or
box::reload() with an invalid argument (#232).
Improve error messages when a module cannot be found or when there’s
a syntactic error in a box::use() declaration.
Support legacy modules (aka. R scripts) better by exporting all
visible names (#207).
Permit specifying exports by calling box::export()
instead of via @export declarations (#227).
Add a standard module for core R packages (#200).
Warn when legacy functions are imported inside modules (#206).
Support modules without exports.
box 1.0.2
New and improved features
Make box::help() work with attached objects
(#170).
Allow trailing comma in attach specification (#191).
Allow loading the main module of a submdule via
box::use(.[...]) (#192).
box 1.0.1
Bug fixes
[...] now correctly attaches exported names starting
with a dot (#186).
New and improved features
Allow trailing comma in box::use() declaration
(#172).
Support loading local modules when executing files opened in RStudio
(#187).
Improve error message when accessing a non-existent module export
via $ (#180).
Improve performance of accessing a module export via $
(#180).
Add explicit support for loading local modules inside ‘testthat’
unit tests (#188).
box 1.0.0
Complete rewrite; see the migration guide
for more information.
