box 1.1.3
Bug fixes
- Silence warnings caused by an internal change of the R HTML help
display functionality (#255, #278).
- Support loading modules inside RStudio even when ‘rstudioapi’ is not
installed (#293).
- Do not crash in the presence of missing arguments in function calls
inside modules (#266).
- Support trailing comma in in reexports via
box::use()
(#263).
New and improved features
- Add
box::topenv()
function, analogous to
base::topenv()
(#310).
- Support lazy loading data from packages (#219).
- Improve error messages for invalid
box::use()
declarations (#253).

box 1.1.2
(Version update for technical reasons; no changes.)
box 1.1.1
(Version update for technical reasons; no changes.)
box 1.1.0
Breaking changes
- Modules without any
@export
declarations now export all
visible names (= names not starting with a dot). To restore the previous
behaviour of a module without exports, call box::export()
inside the module.
box::set_script_path()
now returns the full
path previously set, as documented, not just its parent directory’s
path. Existing code that relies on this function’s previously incorrect
behaviour will need to be updated.
Bug fixes
- Work around broken
isRunning()
function in Shiny ≥1.6.0
(#237).
- Return the full path from
box::set_script_path()
, as
documented, not just the parent directory’s path;
box::script_path()
now also returns that path without
requiring the user to set a new path (#239).
- Improve detection of whether code is called from inside RStudio
(#225).
- Work around an R bug in path handling on non-Windows platforms when
paths passed to the
R
binary contain spaces.
- Make HTML rendering of interactive module help work on Windows
(#223).
- Prevent a segfault in R ≤ 3.6.1 caused by a missing declaration of
an internal C symbol (#213).
- Allow exporting modules that were previously loaded using a
different prefix (#211).
- Reload dependencies when reloading a module (#39, #165, #195).
- Don’t crash in the presence of nested, expanded functions inside
modules (#203, #204).
New and improved features
- Improve error messages when calling
box::unload()
or
box::reload()
with an invalid argument (#232).
- Improve error messages when a module cannot be found or when there’s
a syntactic error in a
box::use()
declaration.
- Support legacy modules (aka. R scripts) better by exporting all
visible names (#207).
- Permit specifying exports by calling
box::export()
instead of via @export
declarations (#227).
- Add a standard module for core R packages (#200).
- Warn when legacy functions are imported inside modules (#206).
- Support modules without exports.

(#192).
box 1.0.1

New and improved features

- Support loading local modules when executing files opened in RStudio

- Improve error message when accessing a non-existent module export
via
$
