cli 3.4.0
- 
New experimental styles to create ANSI hyperlinks in RStudio and
terminals that support them. See?cli::linksfor details (#513). - 
Expressions that start and end with a
{}substitution are now styled
correctly. E.g.{.code {var1} + {var2}}(#517). - 
New
{.obj_type_friendly}inline style to format the type of an R object
in a user friendly way (#463). - 
Improved vector collapsing behavior. cli now shows both the beginning
and end of the collapsed vector, by default (#419). - 
Nested
cli()calls work now (#497). - 
Return values now work as they should within
cli()calls (#496). - 
Style attributes with underscores have new names with dashes instead:
vec_sep,vec_last,vec_trunc,string-quote. The old names still
work, but the new ones take precedence (#483). - 
cli now does not crash at the end of the R session on Arm Windows
(#494; @kevinushey) - 
Vectors are truncated at 20 elements now by default, instead of 100 (#430).
 - 
20 new spinners from the awesome
cli-spinners package,
and from @HenrikBengtsson in #469.
Run this to demo them, some need UTF-8 and emoji support:new <- c("dots13", "dots8Bit", "sand", "material", "weather", "christmas", "grenade", "point", "layer", "betaWave", "fingerDance", "fistBump", "soccerHeader", "mindblown", "speaker", "orangePulse", "bluePulse", "orangeBluePulse", "timeTravel", "aesthetic", "growVeriticalDotsLR", "growVeriticalDotsRL", "growVeriticalDotsLL", "growVeriticalDotsRR") demo_spinners(new)
 - 
cli exit handlers are now compatible again with the withr package (#437).
 - 
cli functions now keep trailing
\fcharacters as newlines.
They also keep multiple consecutive\fas multiple newlinees (#491). - 
{}substitutions within inline styles are now formatted correctly.
E.g.{.code download({url})}will not add backticks tourl, and
{.val pre-{x}-post}will format the whole value instead ofx.
(#422, #474). - 
cli now replaces newline characters within
{.class ... }inline styles
with spaces. If thecli.warn_inline_newlinesoption is set to TRUE, then
it also throws a warning. (#417). - 
code_highlightnow falls back to the default theme (instead of no theme)
for unknown RStudio themes (#482, @rossellhayes). - 
cli_abort()now supplies.frametoabort(). This fixes an
issue with the.internal = TRUEargument (r-lib/rlang#1386). - 
cli now does a better job at detecting the RStudio build pane, job pane
and render pane, and their capabilities w.r.t. ANSI colors and hyperlinks.
Note that this requires a daily build of RStudio (#465). - 
New functions for ANSI strings:
ansi_grep(),ansi_grepl(),
ansi_nzchar(). They work like the corresponding base R functions, but
handle ANSI markup. - 
style_hyperlink()(really) no longer breaks if the env variableVTE_VERSION
is of the form\d{4}, i.e., 4 consecutive numbers (#441, @MichaelChirico) - 
cli_dl()and its correspondingcli_li()can now style the labels. - 
The behavior cli's inline styling expressions is now more predictable.
cli does not try to evaluate a styled string as an R expression any more.
E.g. the meaning of"{.emph +1}"is now always the "+1", with style
.emph, even if an.emphvariable is available and the.emph + 1
expression can be evaluated. - 
Functions that apply bright background colors (e.g.
bg_br_yellow()) now
close themselves. They no longer format text after the end of the function
(#484, @rossellhayes).
