  • New cli_vec() function to allow easier formatting of collapsed
    vectors. It is now also possible to use styling to set the collapsing
    parameters (#129).

  • New pluralize() function to perform pluralization without generating
    cli output (#155).

  • console_width() works better now in RStudio, and also in terminals.

  • Styling of verbatim text work properly now (#147, @tzakharko).

  • Messages (ie. message conditions) coming from cli now have the
    cliMessage class, so you can easily suppress them without suppressing
    other messages (#156).

  • cli prints the output to stderr() now, if there is an output or
    message sink. This is to make interactive and non-interactive sessions
    consistent (#153).

  • Pluralization works corrently now if the last alternative is the
    empty string (#158).

  • cli now caches the result of the dark background detection in iTerm on
    macOS. Reload cli to delete the cache (#131).

  • The is_dynamic_tty(), is_ansi_tty() and ansi_hide_cursor() and
    releted functions now default to the "auto" stream, which is
    automatically selected to be either stdout() or stderr().
    See the manual for details (#144).

  • The default theme now quotes file names, paths, email addresses if they
    don't start or end with an alphanumeric character or a slash. This is
    to make it easier to spot names that start or end with a space (#167).

  • make_spinner() clears the line properly now (@tzakharko, #164).

  • Semantic cli functions now automatically replace Unicode non-breaking
    space characters (\u00a0) with regular space characters, right before
    output. They are still used to calculate the line breaks, but not
    outputted (#161).

  • The status bar now does not simplify multiple spaces by a single space.

  • cli now does not crash if it fails to detect whether the RStudio theme
    is a dark theme (#138).

  • cli now works better with wide Unicode characters, for example emojis.
    In particular, a status bar containing emojis is cleared properly (#133).

  • The status bar now does not flicker when updated, in terminals (#135).

  • Symbols (symbol$*) are now correctly printed in RStudio on Windows (#124).

  • The default theme for cli_code() output looks better now, especially
    in RStudio (#123).

  • Remove spurious newline after a cli_process_start() was cleared
    manually, and also at the end of the function.

Semantic command line interface tools

cli 2.0.0 has a new set of functions that help creating a CLI using a set
of higher level elements: headings, paragraphs, lists, alerts, code blocks,
etc. The formatting of all elements can be customized via themes.
See the "Building a semantic CLI" article on the package web site:
https://cli.r-lib.org

Bug fixes:

  • Fix a bug in is_dynamic_tty(), setting R_CLI_DYNAMIC="FALSE" now
    properly turns dynamic tty off (#70).

  • cli has now functions to add ANSI styles to text. These use the crayon
    package internally, and provide a simpler interface. See the col_*,
    bg_*, style_* and also the make_ansi_style() and
    combine_ansi_styles() functions (#51).

  • New is_dynamic_tty() function detects if \r should be used for a
    stream (#62).

  • New is_ansi_tty() function detects if ANSI control sequences can be
    used for a stream.

  • New ansi_hide_cursor(), ansi_show_cursor() and
    ansi_with_hidden_cursor() functions to hide and show the cursor in
    terminals.

  • New make_spinner() function helps integrating spinners into your
    functions.

  • Now symbol always uses ASCII symbols when the cli.unicode option is
    set to FALSE.
