{styler} 1.8.0 (2022-10-23)

{styler} 1.8.0 comes with a host of new features like support for quarto documents, around 40% speed improvement, bug fixes and the removal of 8 recursive dependencies. We also welcome @IndrajeetPatil as a new contributor to {styler}, who has contributed significantly to this and and previous releases.

Features

• style_dir() and style_pkg() now default to styling all supported file formats (.R, .Rmd, .Rmarkdown, .Rnw, and .qmd) in the (package) directory (#965, #931, #1033).
• style_pkg() now excludes the auto-generated R/cpp11.R file (#977).
• alignment is now detected for function declaration in a similar way as for function calls (#968).
• new R option styler.ignore_alignment controls if alignment should be detected (and preserved) or not (#932).

Bug Fixes

• alignment is detected in tibble::tribble() (and similar) calls with more than 3 columns when left aligned (#945).

• fix alignment detection for one column, mixed named/unnamed (#1035).

• if there are only empty lines in a code chunk, they are all removed (#936).

• apply rules for [ to [[ and its closing counterpair (#1030)

• there is now at most one line break after { and before # (#952, #1022).

• line breaks may be added to function calls to ensure indention symmetry for round braces (#975).

• the cache is also invalidated on changing the stylerignore markers (#932).

• { is not put on a new line after = and in function() { for some edge cases (#939).

• while ({}) statements are now handled the same way as function statements with regards to breaking lines (#967).

• parsing of {roxygen2} example comments now also works for edge cases when there is no literal code immediately following after the end of the example section (#940).

• files with no tokens in it are now transformed into zero-byte files (#962).

Documentation

• old (and outdated) vignettes have been removed (#955). To access them, do git checkout v1.0.0.
• minor improvements to the documentation (#958).
• turned off styler.colored_print.vertical in vignettes so ANSI output of {prettycode} not messing with {pkgdown} (#956, #957).

Performance and code quality improvements

• use integer literals and avoid coercions where needed (#994).
• don't preserve names for unlist() (#998).
• remove unused variables (#999).
• get rid of lints with performance implications (#1000).
• use more efficient match() alternative (#1001).
• don't use nrow arg in new_tibble() calls (#1003).
• performance improvements with if() + else() instead of ifelse() (#1006).
• replace tibbles with data frames to improve performance (#1007).
• simplify styler_df() signature (#1009).
• minor cleanup (#1016).
• non-exported and unused functions odd() and even() were removed (#989).
• all (R)md files in this project's source code are now formatted with default pandoc markdown formatter. This conversion is required when using the visual mode in RStudio (#941).
• improved code quality by fixing {lintr} warnings (#960, #1028).

Dependency related changes

In total, 8 recursive dependencies are removed: {ellipsis}, {pillar},
{rematch2}, {tibble}, {utf8}, {fansi}, {lifecycle}, {pkgconfig}.

• don't import entire tibble package (#1007).
• drop {rematch2} dependency (#1011).
• minimum needed R version is now bumped to 3.5 (#986).

Infrastructure

• upgrade testing infra to testthat 3e (#949).
• run tests in parallel (#978).
• run some tests sequentially (#1031)
• better stack tracing for profiling (#979, #980).
• add flags to skip code coverage for zzz.R (#1005).
• error now on R CMD note (#987).
• test on latest Ubuntu instead of Ubuntu 18.04 (#982).
• use latest GitHub Actions for R (#1034).
• update {pkgdown} action to always build, but only deploy on default branch (#946).
• remove pre-commit push hook for news entry (#1023).
