cli now builds on ARM Windows.
“Solarized Dark” is now the default syntax highlighting theme in terminals.
The {.obj_type_friendly}
inline style now only shows
the first class name (#669 @olivroy).
Syntax highlighting now does not fail in RStudio if the rstudioapi package is not installed (#697).
ansi_collapse(x, trunc = 1, style = "head")
now
indeed shows one element if length(x) == 2
, as documented
(@salim-b,
#572).
ansi_collapse()
gains a sep2
argument
to specify a seperate separator for length-two inputs. It defaults to
" and "
which, in conjunction with the other defaults,
produces a collapsed string that fully adheres to the serial comma
rules. (@salim-b,
#569)
ansi_string()
is now an exported function (@multimeric,
#573).
The progressr progress handler now reports progress correctly (@HenrikBengtsson, #558).
New hash_*sha1()
functions to calculate the SHA-1
hash of strings, objects, files.
cli now shows progress bars after one second by default, if they
are less than half way at the point. (Or after two seconds,
unconditionally, as before.) See the the
cli.progress_show_after
option in ?cli-config
for details (#542).
format_inline()
now has a new argument
keep_whitespace
, and it keeps whitespace, including newline
and form feed characters by default.
New keypress()
function to read a single key press
from a terminal.
New function pretty_print_code()
to print function
objects with syntax highlighting at the R console.
col_*
and bg_*
functions how handle
zero-length input correctly (#532).
New function ansi_collapse()
to collapse character
vectors into a single string.
ansi_strtrim()
now handles some edge cases better,
when ellipsis
has length zero, and when it is wider than
width
.
New hash_file_md5()
function to calculate the MD5
hash of one or more files.
cli has better error messages now.
New format_inline()
argument: collapse
,
to collapse multi-line output, potentially because of \f
characters.
New experimental styles to create ANSI hyperlinks in RStudio and
terminals that support them. See ?cli::links
for details
(#513).
Expressions that start and end with a {}
substitution are now styled correctly. E.g.
{.code {var1} + {var2}}
(#517).
New {.obj_type_friendly}
inline style to format the
type of an R object in a user friendly way (#463).
Improved vector collapsing behavior. cli now shows both the beginning and end of the collapsed vector, by default (#419).
Nested cli()
calls work now (#497).
Return values now work as they should within cli()
calls (#496).
Style attributes with underscores have new names with dashes
instead: vec_sep
, vec_last
,
vec_trunc
, string-quote
. The old names still
work, but the new ones take precedence (#483).
cli now does not crash at the end of the R session on Arm Windows (#494; @kevinushey)
Vectors are truncated at 20 elements now by default, instead of 100 (#430).
20 new spinners from the awesome cli-spinners package, and from @HenrikBengtsson in #469. Run this to demo them, some need UTF-8 and emoji support:
<- c("dots13", "dots8Bit", "sand", "material", "weather", "christmas",
new "grenade", "point", "layer", "betaWave", "fingerDance", "fistBump",
"soccerHeader", "mindblown", "speaker", "orangePulse", "bluePulse",
"orangeBluePulse", "timeTravel", "aesthetic", "growVeriticalDotsLR",
"growVeriticalDotsRL", "growVeriticalDotsLL", "growVeriticalDotsRR")
demo_spinners(new)
cli exit handlers are now compatible again with the withr package (#437).
cli functions now keep trailing \f
characters as
newlines. They also keep multiple consecutive \f
as
multiple newlinees (#491).
{}
substitutions within inline styles are now
formatted correctly. E.g. {.code download({url})}
will not
add backticks to url
, and {.val pre-{x}-post}
will format the whole value instead of x
. (#422,
#474).
cli now replaces newline characters within
{.class ... }
inline styles with spaces. If the
cli.warn_inline_newlines
option is set to TRUE, then it
also throws a warning. (#417).
code_highlight
now falls back to the default theme
(instead of no theme) for unknown RStudio themes (#482, @rossellhayes).
cli_abort()
now supplies .frame
to
abort()
. This fixes an issue with the
.internal = TRUE
argument (r-lib/rlang#1386).
cli now does a better job at detecting the RStudio build pane, job pane and render pane, and their capabilities w.r.t. ANSI colors and hyperlinks. Note that this requires a daily build of RStudio (#465).
New functions for ANSI strings: ansi_grep()
,
ansi_grepl()
, ansi_nzchar()
. They work like
the corresponding base R functions, but handle ANSI markup.
style_hyperlink()
(really) no longer breaks if the
env variable VTE_VERSION
is of the form \d{4}
,
i.e., 4 consecutive numbers (#441, @michaelchirico)
cli_dl()
and its corresponding cli_li()
can now style the labels.
The behavior cli’s inline styling expressions is now more
predictable. cli does not try to evaluate a styled string as an R
expression any more. E.g. the meaning of "{.emph +1}"
is
now always the “+1”, with style .emph
, even if an
.emph
variable is available and the .emph + 1
expression can be evaluated.
Functions that apply bright background colors
(e.g. bg_br_yellow()
) now close themselves. They no longer
format text after the end of the function (#484, @rossellhayes).
style_hyperlink()
no longer breaks if the env
variable VTE_VERSION
is of the form \d{4}
,
i.e., 4 consecutive numbers (#441, @michaelchirico)
ansi_*()
functions support ANSI hyperlinks again
(#444).
Turning off ANSI colors via the cli.num_colors
option or the R_CLI_NUM_COLORS
or the NO_COLOR
environment variable now also turns off ANSI hyperlinks (#447).
symbol
now only has two variants: UTF-8 and ASCII.
There are no special variants for RStudio and Windows RGui any more
(#424).
cli_theme_dark
option is now known as
cli.theme_dark
, to be consistent with all other cli option
names (#380).The preferred names of the S3 classes ansi_string
,
ansi_style
, boxx
, rule
and
tree
now have cli_
prefix:
cli_ansi_string
, etc. This will help avoiding name
conflicts with other packages eventually, but for now the old names are
kept as well, for compatibility.
cli_abort()
has been updated to work nicely with
rlang 1.0. The default call
and backtrace soft-truncation
are set to .envir
(which itself is set to the immediate
caller of cli_abort()
by default).
Line formatting now happens lazily at display time via
rlang::cnd_message()
(which is called by the
conditionMessage()
method for rlang errors).
New hash_sha256()
function to calculate SHA-256
hashes. New hash_raw_*()
, hash_obj_*()
and
hash_file_*()
functions to calculate various hashes of raw
vectors, R objects and files.
You can use the new cli.default_num_colors
option to
set the default number of ANSI colors, only if ANSI support is otherwise
detected. See the details in the manual of
num_ansi_colors()
.
You can set the new ESS_BACKGROUND_MODE
environment
variable to dark
to indicate dark mode.
cli now handles quotes and comment characters better in the
semantion cli_*()
functions that perform glue string
interpolation (#370).
style_hyperlink()
gains a params=
argument
(#384).double
instead of
int
as the data type of the progress units (#335).Several improvements and changes in the ansi_*()
functions:
ansi_*()
functions are now implemented in C and
they are much faster (#316).NA
values better.ansi_nchar()
counts graphemes, etc.ansi_simplify()
to remove superfluous ANSI
tags.ansi_html()
to convert ANSI-highlighted
strings to HTML.ansi_has_any()
and ansi_strip()
now have
sgr
and csi
arguments to look for SGR tags,
CSI tags, or both.New functions that handle UTF-8 encoded strings correctly:
utf8_graphemes()
, utf8_nchar()
,
utf8_substr()
.
Support for palettes, including a colorblind friendly palette.
See ?ansi_palettes
for details.
True color support: num_ansi_colors()
now detects
terminals with 24 bit color support, and make_ansi_style()
uses the exact RGB colors on these terminals (#208).
The new col_br_*()
and bg_br_()
functions create bright versions of eight base ANSI colors
(#327).
New function code_highlight()
to syntax highlight R
code. It supports several themes out of the box, see
code_theme_list()
(#348).
New functions for hashing: hash_animal()
,
hash_emoji()
and hash_md5()
.
New diff_chr()
and diff_str()
functions
to calculate the difference of character vectors and letters of
strings.
Progress bars with clear = FALSE
now print the last,
completed, state properly.
The progress bar for Shiny apps now handles output from
cli_progress_output()
.
Progress variables in C format_done
strings work
correctly now (#337).
cli_dl()
now works with an empty description, and
gives a better error for invalid input (#347).
rule()
is now works better if the labels have ANSI
markup.
cli_spark
objects now have format()
and
print()
methods.
cli_process_done()
now does not error without a
process (#351).
ANSI markup is now supported in RStudio jobs (#353).
The lack of ANSI support is now again correctly detected if there
is an active sink()
(#366).
ansi_strtrim()
now correctly keeps NA
values (#309).
format_inline()
now uses the correct environment
(@rundel,
#314).
New functions for progress bars, please see the new articles at https://cli.r-lib.org/articles/ for details.

, cli_warn()
and
cli_inform()
functions, to throw errors with cli
pluralization and styling.
New format_inline()
function to format a cli string
without emitting it (#278).
New style_no_*()
functions to locally undo styling.
New col_none()
and bg_none()
functions to
locally undo text color and background color.
It is now possible to undo text and background color in a theme,
by setting them to NULL
or "none"
.
cli_memo()
was renamed to
cli_bullets()
, as it is by default formatted as a bullet
list (#250).
New ansi_toupper()
, ansi_tolower
and
ansi_chartr()
functions, the ANSI styling aware variants of
toupper()
, tolower()
and chartr()
(#248).
New test_that_cli()

.
New cli_memo()
function to create a list of items or
tasks.
New cli::cli()
function to create a single cli
message from multiple cli calls (#170).
cli now highlights weird names, e.g. path names with leading or trailing space (#227).
Styling is fixed at several places. In particular, nested lists should be now formatted better (#221).
New spark_bar()
and spark_line()
functions to draw small bar or line charts.
ANSI color support detection works correctly now in older RStudio, and also on older R versions.
cli_h1()
, cli_h2()
and
cli_h3()
now work with multiple glue substitutions
(#218).
boxx()
now correctly calculates the width of the box
for non-ASCII characters.
New ansi_trimws()
and ansi_strwrap()
functions, they are similar to trimws()
and
strwrap()
but work on ANSI strings.
New ansi_columns()
function to format ANSI strings
in multiple columns.
ansi_substr()
, ansi_substring()
,
ansi_strsplit()
, ansi_align()
now always
return cli_ansi_string
objects.
ansi_nchar()
, ansi_align()
,
ansi_strtrim()
and the new ansi_strwrap()
as
well handle wide Unicode correctly, according to their display
width.
boxx()
can now add headers and footers to
boxes.
New style_hyperlink()
function to add hyperlinks, on
terminals that support them.
cli_format_method()
now works properly in knitr, and
other environments that catch message conditions (#159).
ANSI strings created by col_*
, bg_*
and
style_*
now also add the character
class to
the result. This fixes issues with code that expect
character
objects.
New functions to manipulate ANSI strings:
ansi_aling()
, ansi_has_any()
,
ansi_nchar()
, ansi_regex()
,
ansi_strip()
, ansi_strsplit()
,
ansi_substr()

.
New cli_vec()
function to allow easier formatting of
collapsed vectors. It is now also possible to use styling to set the
collapsing parameters (#129).
New pluralize()
function to perform pluralization
without generating cli output (#155).
console_width()
works better now in RStudio, and
also in terminals.
Styling of verbatim text work properly now (#147, @tzakharko).
Messages (i.e. message
conditions) coming from cli
now have the cliMessage
class, so you can easily suppress
them without suppressing other messages (#156).
cli prints the output to stderr()
now, if there is
an output or message sink. This is to make interactive and
non-interactive sessions consistent (#153).
Pluralization works correctly now if the last alternative is the empty string (#158).
cli now caches the result of the dark background detection in iTerm on macOS. Reload cli to delete the cache (#131).
The is_dynamic_tty()
, is_ansi_tty()
and
ansi_hide_cursor()
and related functions now default to the
"auto"
stream, which is automatically selected to be either
stdout()
or stderr()
. See the manual for
details (#144).
The default theme now quotes file names, paths, email addresses if they don’t start or end with an alphanumeric character or a slash. This is to make it easier to spot names that start or end with a space (#167).
make_spinner()
clears the line properly now (@tzakharko,
#164).
Semantic cli functions now automatically replace Unicode
non-breaking space characters (\u00a0
) with regular space
characters, right before output. They are still used to calculate the
line breaks, but not outputted (#161).
Progress bars now respect is_dynamic_tty()
and do
not output \r
when this is false (@jimhester, #177)
The status bar now does not simplify multiple spaces by a single space.
cli now does not crash if it fails to detect whether the RStudio theme is a dark theme (#138).
cli now works better with wide Unicode characters, for example emojis. In particular, a status bar containing emojis is cleared properly (#133).
The status bar now does not flicker when updated, in terminals (#135).
Symbols (symbol$*
) are now correctly printed in
RStudio on Windows (#124).
The default theme for cli_code()
output looks better
now, especially in RStudio (#123).
Remove spurious newline after a cli_process_start()
was cleared manually, and also at the end of the function.
Use Oxford comma when listing 3 or more items (@jonocarroll, #128).
cli 2.0.0 has a new set of functions that help creating a CLI using a set of higher level elements: headings, paragraphs, lists, alerts, code blocks, etc. The formatting of all elements can be customized via themes. See the “Building a semantic CLI” article on the package web site: https://cli.r-lib.org
is_dynamic_tty()
, setting
R_CLI_DYNAMIC="FALSE"
now properly turns dynamic tty off
(#70).cli has now functions to add ANSI styles to text. These use the
crayon package internally, and provide a simpler interface. See the
col_*
, bg_*
, style_*
and also the
make_ansi_style()
and combine_ansi_styles()
functions (#51).
New is_dynamic_tty()
function detects if
\r
should be used for a stream (#62).
New is_ansi_tty()
function detects if ANSI control
sequences can be used for a stream.
New ansi_hide_cursor()
,
ansi_show_cursor()
and
ansi_with_hidden_cursor()
functions to hide and show the
cursor in terminals.

always uses ASCII symbols when the
cli.unicode
option is set to FALSE
.
New cli_sitrep()
function, situation report about
UTF-8 and ANSI color support (#53).
Fall back to ASCII only characters on non-Windows platforms without UTF-8 support, and also in LaTeX when running knitr (#34).
First public release.
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.
