set_no_color(): Suppresses the color codes so that
messages can be printed clean. The option is auto controlled on load via
the system variable NO_COLOR but can also be set
individually by this function. Console output in e.g. RStudio vs. output
to a logging system should be handled automatically rightnow.
(25.04.2026, thanks to @TroyHernandez)set_up_custom_message(): Waiting symbols as well as the
color of the time stamps can now be customized. (25.04.2026)print_step(): Now has a new in_place
parameter, which prints the message on the same line as before, instead
of in the next line. This can e.g. be used inside loops as follows.
(29.04.2026)new_in_place_steps <- function(){
print_start_message()
print_step("MAJOR", "Let's get started...")
for (i in seq_len(10)){
print_step("Minor", "This is in place step [i] of 10", i = i, in_place = TRUE)
Sys.sleep(0.25)
}
print_step("MAJOR", "Loop has ended")
print_closing()
}
new_in_place_steps()set_up_custom_message(): The way custom messages are
set up has slightly changed and will break existing code. Custom message
types are now stored globally and are called within quotation marks like
all the other built-in message types. See updated README for the new
handling. (25.04.2026)print_step(): Waiting character “?” is now drawn as
intended in non-utf8 mode. (25.04.2026)These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
