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()
andbox::export()
are unnamed (#334). - The
method
argument ofbox::register_S3_method()
is now optional (#305).
This version corresponds to version 1.2.0 on CRAN.
