1.4.0

• cran_check_results() now downloads results in parallel, so it is much faster.

• rcmdcheck_process now redirects the standard error to the standard output, to make sure that they are correctly interleaved (#148).

• rcmdcheck now puts Rtools on the PATH, via pkgbuild (#111).

• rcmdcheck now builds the manual when building the package, if it is needed for \Sexpr{} expressions (#137).

• This version fixes a rare race condition that made rcmdcheck fail (#139).

• rcmdcheck now safeguards against R deleting the user’s home directory via an R CMD build bug (#120).

• rcmdcheck can now ignore files in inst/doc when building a package. See the Config/build/clean-inst-doc package option in ?"rcmdcheck-config" (#130).

• It is now possible to turn on/off ANSI colors for rcmdcheck only, without affecting the checked package. See ?"rcmdcheck-config" and theRCMDCHECK_NUM_COLORSenvironment variable and thercmdcheck.num_colors` option (#119, @jimhester).

• print.rcmdcheck() now has a test_output argument and rcmdcheck.test_output global option, to control whether to print the full test output or not. (#121)

• RStudio’s Pandoc is now on the path during rcmdcheck() and rcmdcheck_process (#109, #132, @dpprdan).

• rcmdcheck() now errors if the check process crashes (#110, #163).

• rcmdcheck() prints the check ouptut better interactively, especially when the package has multiple test files (#145, #161).

• rcmdcheck can now ignore NOTEs, if requested, see ?rcmdcheck for details (#12, #160).

• rcmdcheck now always converts its output to UTF-8 from the native encoding. It also handles parsing check output in a non-native encoding better (#152).

• rcmdcheck now ignored time stamps when comparing two check results (#128).

• rcmdcheck now does not print extra empty lines in the interactive output on GitHub Actions.

• rcmdcheck now uses a more robust implementation to extract the session info from the check process (#164).

1.3.3

• cran_check_results() has now a quiet argument, and the download progress bars are shown if it is set to FALSE (#17).

• Fix output when standard output does not support \r, typically when it is not a terminal (#94).

• Fix standard output and standard error mixup in the test cases, (#88, #96).

• Fix parsing test failures when multiple architectures are checked, (#97).

• rcmdcheck() has now better colors. WARNINGs are magenta, and NOTEs are blue (#103, @hadley).

1.3.2

• rcmdcheck() now correctly overwrites existing tarballs if they already exist in the check directory. This time for real.

1.3.1

• rcmdcheck() now correctly overwrites existing tarballs if they already exist in the check directory (#84 @jimhester).

• rcmdcheck now uses sessioninfo::session_info() to query session information for the check.

1.3.0

• New rcmdcheck_process class to run R CMD check in the background.

• rcmdcheck() now supports timeouts (default is 10 minutes).

• Checks now capture and print installation and test failures.

• Checks now record and print the duration of the check.

• Checks now record and print session information from the check session (#22).

• rcmdcheck() new keep files until the returned check object is deleted, if check was run in a temporary directory (the default) (#23).

• New xopen() to show the check file in a file browser window (#61).

• Checks now save install.out and also DESCRIPTION in the result, and save the standard error and the exit status as well.

• rcmdcheck() printing is now better: the message from the check that is actually being performed is shown on the screen.

• rcmdcheck() now shows a spinner while running check.

• rcmdcheck() results now have a summary() method for check comparisons.

• rcmdcheck() results now have a new check_details() method, to query the check results programmatically. (No need to use $errors, $warnings, etc. directly.)

• Checks now find package root automatically (#18).

• rcmdcheck() now has an error_on argument to throw an error on an R CMD check failure (#51).

• rcmdcheck() result printing is now better, the colors are consistent (#54).

1.2.1

• Compare two check results with compare_checks or compare check results to CRAN with compare_to_cran.

• The result object has more metadata: package name, version, R version and platform.

• Refined printing of the result.

• rcmdcheck() works on tarballs build via R CMD build now.

• Parse R CMD check results: parse_check, parse_check_url.

• Download and parse check results for CRAN packages.

• Report errors during the build, typically vignette errors.

• Use the callr package (https://github.com/r-lib/callr) for running R CMD commands.

1.1.0

• New arguments libpath and repos to set the library path and the default CRAN repository

• Do not run tests on CRAN.

1.0.0

First public release.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
