Major changes

  • install_*() functions will no longer fail by default if there warnings from install.packages(). Concretely the default value of R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS has changed to true from the previous value of false. (#403)

Minor improvements and fixes

  • install_bioc() now respects the environment variable R_BIOC_VERSION, and will use the git branch corresponding to this Bioconductor version (@bbimber, #580).

  • remotes without package names are now unconditionally installed (#532, @jakubkovac)

  • It is now possible to specify a custom host for dependencies listed in the DESCRIPTION file with Remotes: <type>[@host]::<username>/<repo>[@ref]. The ref now supports / in it for GitLab repositories as it did for GitHubrepositories. (@dagola, #448)

  • Internal package2remote() function now supports local remotes created by pak.

  • github_pat() will now check if GITHUB_TOKEN is set if it cannot find GITHUB_PAT. (@coatless)

  • system_requirements() now supports OS name + version in the os argument (#549, @krlmlr).
