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 (ie. 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 corrently 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 releted 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).
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.
New make_spinner() function helps integrating spinners into your functions.
Now symbol 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.
