| NEWS {roxyPackage} | R Documentation |
news2rss(): adjusted to newer HTML scheme, which now uses
<html><body><div> instead of just <html><body> for its content; also a
workaround was added for XiMpLe getting confused by an empty "defer"
argument
debianizeKeyring(): default package description now uses a proper
synopsis
debianize()/debianizeKeyring(): description lines are now adjusted to
adhere to the 80 character limit
roxy.html(): tracked down an issue that prevented the generation of
index.html files because XMLNode() was given a list
roxy.package(): new argument "pck.aliases" to manually define aliases
used in the *-package.Rd file, useful if your package has the same name
as one of its functions or methods
roxy.package(): added usethis block to *-package.Rd file
roxy.package(): added generator note to *-package.Rd file, so you know it
won't last long if you edited the file manually
debianize()/debianizeKeyring(): lifted Standards-Version to 4.6.1.1,
compat level to 10, and changed Priority from "extra" to "optional" also
for keyring packages
internally, private function autoLineBreak() is now a mere wrapper for
strwrap() for simple cases
package now depends on XiMpLe >=0.11-1, making workarounds for empty XML attributes obsolete
internally, XML/HTML code is no longer generated using XiMpLe::XMLNode(),
but helper functions like a_() or span_(), using
XiMpLe::gen_tag_functions()
debianize(): the generated copyright file now has https instead of http
in the format URL
debianizeKeyring(): no longer use ASCII armored key files but binary only
debianizeKeyring(): dropped deprecated support for
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/, also "apt-key add" is no longer used. keys are
just copied to /usr/share/keyrings/ and therefore *must* be pinned
explicitly for the reposiory via "[signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/...]".
this is the more secure approach, but wasn't supported before 2017
roxy.package(): if roxyPackage was in sandbox mode, there were issues
finding the RSS image
roxy.package(): new action "buildEmAll" to trigger builds for multiple
versions of R (if more than one was provided also)
roxy.package(): new action "gitCheckout" to switch to a tagged release
for binary rebuilds, works well in sandbox mode
roxy.package(): HTML page for debain package installation now explains
how to break the circle and successfully install the keyring package if
apt refuses to install it because the keyring package wasn't installed
yet
roxy.package(): HTML page now links to ORCID if a valid ID is provided as
a person's comment named "ORCID"; it will ask you to call
orcid_icon_fetcher() as well, to fetch the correct icon file
orcid_icon_fetcher(): small helper function to download the ORCID SVG
icon into your repository should you need one
roxy.package(): if pandoc is available, README.md and NEWS.md will be
compiled into HTML versions and linked in a package's index page unser
"Materials"
roxy.package(): new argument "R.libs.append" to add R libraries that are
by default included during package builds
roxy.package(): adjusted ordering of enties in repo HTML page similar to
CRAN (contributed by robert nuske)
roxy.package(): HTML pages for debian repositories now suggest to include
"signed-by" in the lists files
roxy.package(): the generated README.md now suggests
"devtools::install_github()" instead of loading the package first
roxy.package(): "cleanRd" no longer throws a warning for each file
changed, but one summary warning listing all affected files
roxy.package(): the ChangeLog was moved to "Materials" on a package's
index page, next to README.html and NEWS.html
roxy.package(): if R >= 4.0 is detected, the default directory for debian
package files will be set to "debR40" instead of "deb"
removed deprecated internal functions deb.gen.prerm() and
deb.gen.postinst()
debianizeKeyring(): you can now define multiple OpenPGP keys to sign the
Release files, which can be used to seamlessly replace a soon expired key
roxy.package(): explicitly set the R library for multiple R builds
debianize(): new argument "deb.dir" to use a custom debian main directory
for the package repository, mainly to make it possible to have separate
repos for incompatible R versions
debianize(): now tries to add proper r-api-* package dependencies if R >=
3.2 is detected
debianizeKeyring() also gained the new "deb.dir" argument
sandbox(): new argument "clean" to wipe an existing sandbox before
setting up a new vanilla one
roxy.package(): if R >= 3.5 is detected, the default directory for debian
package files will be set to "debR35" instead of "deb"
roxy.package(): added "buildVignettes" to the actions only performed only
during first run if building for multiple R versions
archive.packages(): "deb.dir" must now also be set explicitly in the
"deb.options"
roxy.description(): updated internal function responsible for setting up
the *-package.R file to use more macros (\packageTitle{},
\packageDescription{}, \packageAuthor{}, and \packageMaintainer{});
didn't yet get \packageDESCRIPTION{} or \packageIndices{} to generate
useful info, so that's still done the old way
roxy.package(): fixed a HTML issue introduced with the html.options
"imprint" and "privacy.policy"
roxy.package(): use "el-capitan" as the default symlink for macOS repos
roxy.package(): unset some environment variables that might cause trouble
if building for multiple R versions
roxy.package(): new html.options "imprint" and "privacy.policy" to add
links to respective pages from your repo
debianize(): worked around a bug in utils::tar() rendering it almost
useless
fixed a really dumb bug in archive.packages() setting the PGP key to 2 by
default for "deb" archives
the package now needs at least R >= 3.0.0, all code fragments which tried to keep supporting R 2.14 and even earlier were removed. no-one should use that any longer
the arguments 'html.index' and 'html.title' were moved to 'index' and 'title' of a new option list called 'html.options' for more consistency; old code should still work for the time being, but trigger a warning – please update your scripts!
cleaned up dependencies, now using mostly imports instead
set debhelper default dependency to >> 9.0.0 (instead of >> 7.0.0)
worked around the news2Rd issue by copying the function to the internal namespace
there's also no longer a need to call private functions from the XiMpLe package
replaced private function last.dir.name() with base function basename()
repo: changed the way symlinks are set for macOS; we're now creating the top level directory and link to ../contrib, to work around issues with infinite link loops; this does not affect existing repos, only new ones
since Flattr totally changed its API and stuff, the Flattr integration was updated. no more buttons will be generated, instead a meta tag is added to HTML and/or markdown documents. this also means you need to remove the 'flattrUser' value from 'readme.options' and add your meta tag ID to the new 'html.options' for this to work correctly
vignette is now in RMarkdown/HTML format; the SWeave/PDF version was dropped
rnw2rmd(): new function that tries to convert Sweave vignettes into R
markdown
package_description(): new function to make it easier to generate proper
package description objects (prevent typos, demand mandatory fields,
value checks)
debianize(): explain in the docs that setting a package in
"depends.origin.alt" to NULL will enable you to provide the full R debian
package name
roxy.html(): URLs in the form of "(... <...>)" are now automatically
turned into <a href> nodes; i hope the parser doesn't introduce new
issues
roxy.html(): fields "Additional_repositories" and "NeedsCompilation" are
now also evaluated
roxy.package(): vignette generation now takes an existing .install_extras
file into account when moving/copying files
roxy.package(): new action "vignette" can be used to generate an initial
vignette stub file
roxy.package(): new action "buildVignettes" forces rebuilding all
vignettes during the "package" action, to make sure a proper vignette
index is present in the source tarball; this was made configurable via
its own action because it is a bit time consuming during builds and
usually only neccessary for actual releases
debianize(): the "append" feature for dependencies in was broken
archive.packages() now defaults to gpg2 as well
debianize(): the HTML instructions look pretty again, worked around a
layout problem caused by XiMpLe's auto-indentation in <pre> tags
roxy.package(): internal use of tools::getVignetteInfo() was unaware of
custom R libs.
added robert nuske as an official contributor to the package
R versions older that 3.0 should no longer be around (it was released four years ago). support for these older versions will be removed in one of the future releases. for now, a warning is shown, announcing that use with R <3.0 is deprecated
debianize(): the R version used for build dependencies in "control" is
now taken from DESCRIPTION by default, not the current version
debianize(): the package description in "control" is now similar to
CRAN2deb
cleaned up all tests, using two new/revised internal functions
roxyPackage:::generateTestPackage() and roxyPackage:::removeTestPackage()
updated vignette to include templateFile()
roxy.html(): HTML page now lists all contributors indicating their roles
(contributed by robert nuske)
roxy.package(): checks should be done on built packages, the "check"
action now throws a warning if checks are done on unpackaged sources
(which is the case if you omit the "package" action)
roxy.html(): we're now also including the comments of person objects
roxy.package(): the README.md file generated by the "readme" action now
flags the installation code as R syntax
debianize(): bumped default compat level from 7 to 9 and added "compat"
to the files that are updated by default
new function templateFile() to quickly generate new source file templates
for functions, S4 classes and methods, including some hopefully useful
defaults (copyright, roxygen documentation and code stubs)
roxy.package(): the "URL" option can now also be a named list to be able
to either host the debian repo on a different server, or to configure the
use of a "mirror.list" and a custom "debian.path"
roxy.package(): the HTML instructions for debian packages now also lists
the package source files
new EXPERIMENTAL feature: there are cases where roxygenize() somehow
fails but e.g. document() of the devtools package doesn't. you can now
use roxyPackage:::set.roxyEnv(name="roxyFunction",
value=devtools::document) to overwrite the function that is being used to
roxygenize the docs. use this with caution! it is experimental for a
reason!
roxy.html(): HTML page now also lists LinkingTo: and SystemRequirements:
if present (contributed by robert nuske)
roxy.package(): source and windows builds now also include an MD5 file
replaced some tilde characters in the vignette by \textasciitilde
debinanizing failed with certain versions of dpkg-parsechangelog expecting a space after "–count"
added "readme" action to vignette
changed the docs to suggest to give the most recent R version first in line when building for multiple versions. the debianizing is now also done during the first run
internal function GPGsign() now forces both cert-digest-algo and
digest-algo to be set to SHA256; for now, this is hard coded but could be
made configurable if requested
reaktanz.de supports HTTPS now, updated references
internal function GPGsign() is now also capable of generating InRelease
files; they will automatically be added to debian repos from now on
HTML page now also lists Imports and BugReports, which can either be a URL or mail address (contributed by robert nuske)
if all of 'Date', 'Packaged', and 'Date/Publication' are missing in DESCRIPTION, pck.date will now be used as well (contributed by robert nuske)
support for vignette types other than PDF (contributed by robert nuske)
R CMD check should be performed on built packages, not source
directories. this is now the case if you run the "check" action also with
"package" enabled
fixed a path issue causing problems to find package sources when in full
sandboxing mode, most importantly, this affected the internal function
prep.sndbx.source.dir()
normalized paths in internal function mvToArchive(), called by
archive.packages()
using tools::package_dependencies() instead of
tools::package.dependencies() if R >= 3.3
the tar() function of R produced broken archives with files added
multiple times
the code for checks was moved to the end of roxy.package()
removed deb.gen.changelog.old(), it was unused since 0.04-2
debianize() now generates machine-readable copyright files
when debianizeKeyring() is called from debianize() or roxy.rackage(), it
is now able to fetch the repo URL
removed overwrite argument from internal function deb.update.release()
because it actually didn't have any effect anyway
revert back to adding standard LICENSE files instead of LICENSE.txt, as none of them are accepted on CRAN anyway
code cleaning (loops)
removed the internal package description (obsolete)
new action "readme" to generate an initial README.md file
new action "binonly" to enable binary-only rebuilds
HTML page now lists all found binary packages for a package if it is available for more than one R version in the repository
archive.packages() can now also archive Debian repositories; it gained
new arguments keep.revisions and deb.options for fine-tuning
if readme.options contains a Flattr user and URL is set, a Flattr button will also be added to the repository HTML page
debianize() has a new option keep.existing.orig to prevent binary-only
rebuilds from overwriting existing *.orig.[gz|xz] archives
re-activated the unit tests that were shut down with 0.03-11 due to https://github.com/hadley/testthat/issues/86 as there's now a workaround fixing tests/testthat.R
removed leftover tests/test_roxyPackage_package.R
updated URL to roxygen2 in docs
fixed title case in title field
fixed imports in NAMESPACE file
moved unit tests to tests/testthat
added dch and dpkg-parsechangelog to dependecy checks of debianize()
default section for debian R packages is now "gnu-r" instead of "math"
archive.packages() now uses type "mac.binary" instead of the deprecated
"mac.binary.leopard"
new option "OSX.repo" to deal with the constantly changing paths of
binary repos for max OS X
internal function parseChangeLog() now checks for proper version and date
information and throws an error if one is missing, as suggested by robert
nuske
making sure the "inst" directory exists before trying to copy a NEWS.Rd
file there
debian packages with a dot in their names were overlooked when it came to generating the HTML docs
somehow a wrong release date for 0.03-12 sneaked into the ChangeLog...
newlines in DESCRIPTION caused debianize() to misread dependency
information and quit with an error
roxygen2 can produce too long comment lines in Rd file heads; using
"cleanRd" on this resulted in broken Rd files because the comment char
was missing
removed the options "local.roxy.dir" and "roxy.unlink.target" from
roxy.package(), as their counterparts are no longer supported by
roxygen2. if you still need those options (working with ancient roxygen2
versions), use "roxygen.dir" and "unlink.target" in "..." instead
removed the workaround call to roxygen2:::source_package() as well, it
doesn't seem to be necessary any longer
roxy.package() now uses "–install-tests" as default option for "R CMD
install"
debianize() now passes "build.dir" on to debianizeKeyring() as a default
debianize() now uses dch and dpkg-parsechangelog to manage
debain/changelog, which is much more robust than the previous
construction
a new RKWard plugin allows you to really quickly get started with your own roxyPackage script
basic support for "cph" (copyright holder) field in author roles
tools::buildVignettes() doesn't produce PDFs if they are already present;
remove present PDFs, if the "doc" action is active. the vignettes
creation was reworked to deal with vignettes directories more smoothly,
e.g. create inst/doc and copy results and sources there
debianize() didn't auto-append default dependencies correctly
docs of debianize() falsely still said that source packaging wasn't
implemented
example in debianize() showed description in lowercase, which wouldn't
work
debianize() didn't get multiple authors quite all right
the copyright file generated by debianize() missed out the homepage and
overwrite rule
signature changes to roxygenize() in roxygen2 >= 4.0.0 are now
implemented
the logic to remove build directories for debian packages could have dangerous consequences if you chose them unwise; now, the directory will only be removed if it was empty before the build process
debianize() gained the new argument "repo.name", used for generating a
debian package from the OpenPGP key used for secure apt. you should set
this to something different from the default if you plan to actually
publish the repository – if you don't, you'll get a warning
expect gpg2 as the default (earlier versions defaulted to gpg)
moved code for generation of several debian package files into autonomous internal functions
suppressed the LaTeX output, so the console messages are more comprehensible
in the sources, moved definition of classes and methods to files with more speaking names
removed the temporary hack to test roxygen3, since roxygen2 4.x is already released and runs out-of-the-box with this version of roxyPackage
source packages for debian now default to xz compression
new function debianizeKeyring() can generate debian packages from OpenPGP
keys
new argument "compression" for debianize()
tools::pkgVignettes() and tools::buildVignettes() stopped working without
an existing DESCRIPTION file. working around that by moving the calls to
a place where the file should be present already
added a workaround for roxygen2 >= 3.0.0, calling
roxygen2:::source_package() to overcome unsolved issues with its S4
implementation
managed to remove some of the setwd() calls, but some don't seem to be
replaceable as of now. this seems to trigger the problems with the unit
tests, so they remain deactivated in tests/ test_roxyPackage_package.R,
but have been revived in inst/tests/test,R
added a proper GPL notice at the beginning of each R file
replaced all tabs in the source code by two space characters
another attempt to fix the .find.package() issue (see log for 0.03-5), as
suggested by kurt hornik
typo in docs to debianize() corrected ("epoch" instead of "Epoch")
dep4deb() now always returns $dl as a matrix
"–no-vignettes" is deprecated as of R 3.0.0, replaced with "–no-build-vignettes"
corrected some ::: operators into ::
new action "cleanRd" checks for lines longer than 90 chars in Rd files
and adds automatic line breaks (with a warning). otherwise R CMD check
would complain and the package wouldn't be accepted on CRAN. this is
actually a workaround for a bug in roxygen2, regarding automatically
generated usage sections
in the generated DESCRIPTION file, authors and contributors will no longer be listed with their e-mail address, just plain names
sandboxing and running the "check" action now also copies suggested
packages to the sandbox folders if neccessary
removed the unit tests for this release, because they suddenly stopped working with "R CMD check" (while still running fine from an R session). i.e., it's not that the tests themselves fail, but the testthat package stops with yet mysterious errors. i filed a report, hope this can be solved soon: https://github.com/hadley/testthat/issues/86
the vignette was moved from inst/doc to inst/vignettes
some lines in the docs were too long and have been shortened
internal function autoLineBreak() returns a nameless character vector now
beginning with this version, roxyPackage is no longer hosted on CRAN. its
policies and checks have become more strict over time, and since the
alternative would have been to reduce this package's features to remain
in full compliance, i decided to have the package removed instead. the
problem is this: the NEWS.Rd related features rely on calls to the
internal function tools:::news2Rd(), as is even recommended in the manual
to news(); CRAN doesn't allow this use of an internal functions, even if
it's exactly what the R docs say.
another EXPERIMENTAL feature: call
'roxyPackage:::set.roxyEnv(name="Rdevel", value=TRUE)' and
'roxyPackage:::set.roxyEnv(name="Rversion", value="x.y.z")' to manually
set an arbitrary R version string to be able to build against bleeding
edge R-devel installations
new roxy.package() arguments "Rbuildignore" and "Rinstignore" can be used
to control .Rbuildignore and .Rinstignore files, respectively
debianize(): support for epoch in debian package versioning
debianize(): support for appending package dependencies rather than
replacing the automatically found
debianize(): support for arbitrary fields in "deb.description"
the *-package.R file used to contain an alias of the package name alone, which would cause trouble if there's a function or similar by the same name/alias. now only the alias '<package name>-package' will be included.
internal function dateRFC2822() now always forces LC_TIME into locale "C"
temporarily, instead of trying to use "en_GB.UTF-8" (which is not
available on all machines). this small function is needed for timestamps
in Debian changelogs
fixed the split-up of debinaizing actions for multiple R installations: the previous implementation accidently dropped package building completely
new function dep4deb() can recursively download dependencies for a given
package. this is still in its early stages and probably buggy, and i am
also considering placing all Debian related functionality into a package
of its own (which would become a dependency of roxyPackage), soon.
due to a silly bug, debianize() usually ignored the fields "Homepage" and
"Essential" for the control file
debianize() can now try to build a valid debian package directly from
arbitrary package sources; it will try to generate plausible dependencies
from the R package names provided in DESCRIPTION
debianize() does also try to include package "Suggests" automagically
added some basic unit tests, using the testthat package
the default "origin" value of debianize() has been changed from "other"
to "other-roxypackage"
debianize() now adds dependecies to r-base-core (instead of r-base) and
debhelper >= 7.0.0 (instead of >= 4.1.0) if none are given
debianize() doesn't set the maintainer of upstream as the debian package
maintainer by default any longer, but generates a maintainer ID from
system information and throws a warning. this should encourage everyone
to set at least valid maintainer information manually
if multiple R installations are provided, the "deb" action will be split
up: debianizing the sources will be done during first run, but package
building during the last
OS X binary packages for R >= 3.0.0 will now be stored in $REPOSITORY/bin/macosx/contrib, and no longer in $REPOSITORY/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib
debianize() now supports both strict package names according to the
Debain R Policy as well as package names with a dot, whichever is
expected by your r-cran.mk file. Ignoring the policy is the default, as
that is the de-facto standard.
.find.package() will soon be removed from R, replaced it with
find.package() for R >= 2.13
internally replaced paste(..., sep="") with paste0(...), and added a
version dependent wrapper for compatibility with R < 2.15
AGPL and Artistic License 2.0 have been added to the common licenses
license files are now called LICENSE.txt; this is to prevent their installation, as suggested by 'Writing R Extensions'
extended sandboxing possibilities to archive.packages() and debianize()
sandbox() will now remove all paths set if "active" is FALSE
new sandbox feature, see ?sandbox() and ?sandbox.status(). this needs
testing, and future releases will get support for this in all relevant
functions, not just roxy.package(), as it is now.
split documentation for ChangeLog functions and methods
there is now an EXPERIMENTAL option to be able to toy around with
roxygen3: call 'roxyPackage:::set.roxyEnv(name="roxygenVersion",
value=3)' to enable some hidden features, i.e. use roxygen3::roxygenise()
instead of roxygen2::roxygenize(). you need to install and load the
roxygen3 package first – temper with this at your own risk. please note:
there will probably never be an official roxygen3 package on CRAN, and
once its features were merged into roxygen2, this option might be patched
out of roxyPackage again.
this is the first version of roxyPackage supposed to be released on CRAN
updated vignette
debian installation notes will not be linked from a package's HTML page if there is no built debian package in the repository
the title for *-package.R files now states "The <package name> Package" instead of the Title: entry from the description
order of ChangeLog entries is now checked, so that the newest entries get on top
new action "log" generates an initial ChangeLog, if none is found
introducing new functions initChangeLog(), readChangeLog(),
writeChangeLog(), as well as the methods getChangeLogEntry() and
updateChangeLog(). they are probably not bug-free, but should ease the
management of proper R ChangeLogs considerably.
this ChangeLog was read-in by readChangeLog(), updated with the log
entries for this release by updateChangeLog(), and written back with
writeChangeLog().
contributors in Author@R/Authors@R fields are now also added to *-package.R and DESCRIPTION
the "check" option "–as-cran" is automatically stripped for R < 2.15
the "check" action now has "–as-cran" set as the default option
the "doc" action now also supports "vignette" subdirectories in addition
to "inst/doc" for vignette files
added new function archive.packages() to move old versions of packages to
an archive directory, or to remove them for good. since this is
potentially dangerous and needs some rounds of testing, its
"reallyDoIt"-option needs to be set to TRUE manually, otherwise a dry run
is done, i.e., all actions are only printed and not done, so you can
check the outcome first.
using shortPathName() to fix problems on windows caused by the path
normalization introduced with 0.02-17 (thanks to henrik singmann for
tracking this one down)
wrote some new internal helper functions, namely createMissingDir() and
removeIfExists(), and replaced their manual pendants in the
roxy.package() code, which is now easier to read
the tar option "–exclude-vcs" is not always implemented, especially not in the BSD tar of Mac OS X; so excluding version control directories is now done in a more manual manner in roxyPackage
also, on Mac OS X the tar binary is now identified using Sys.which("tar")
finally, "–exclude=*~" caused trouble if path names contained a tilde for $HOME, so this was replaced with a more reliable way to exclude backup~ files as well
all root paths are now normalized before first use, especially to perform
tilde expansion, because this lead to errors with tar()
HTML generation now also works if there's no "Author:" field in the DESCRIPTION
the data.frame with the package description doesn't need to have entries
for "Author" or "Maintainer" any more, as long as "Authors@R" is present
roxyPackage now supports multiple vignette files in one package
fixed problems if the repository isn't on the same file system as the sources
fixed malformed BibTeX entry in CITATION if more than one author given
line breaks were missing in repo HTML, which lead to malformed <pre> sections
debian repo information will now generally be prepared for binary and source packages
added a vignette
debianize() now creates debian/compat, by default set to level 7
status messages are more consistent now
the link to a debian binary package moved from the general package HTML page to the debian repository info page
debianize() now checks if a given GnuPG key is already available as a
file in the repository, and if not, saves is as <key ID>.asc
the "html" action now also adds auto-generated information on how to
install debian packages from the maintained repository
this is the first package, along with its dependecies, which is also available as a debian package build with roxyPackage
if information is to be fetched from a DESCRIPTION file and there is no
"Date" field, roxy.package() considers "Packaged" and then
"Date/Publication" as fallback alternatives (and throws a warning)
the actions "deb", "roxy", "cite", "license", "doc", "cl2news" and
"news2rss" are now only run once for builds against multiple R
installations, because their outcome should be the same anyway
'deb.options' are now also passed to recursive calls of roxy.package(),
although there's still no solution for actual builds against multiple R
installations
roxy.package() now checks for needed fields in DESCRIPTION, if that file
is used to get info on the package, and throws an error if something is
missing
installation now includes common-licenses.zip
roxy.package() has a new action "license" to detect the package license
and save a copy of common free software licenses as the package's LICENSE
file
added hints on dependencies to the debianize() docs
regex to get author info without e-mail address for debian/copyright now works with multiple authors
fixed some formatting issues with debian/copyright
debianize() can now sign Release files with GnuPG
roxy.package() has a new action "deb" and a new parameter 'deb.options',
to invoke debianize() directly
debian packages are now added to the html index files
Release files in debianize() are now generated with apt-ftparchive
debianize() talks a little more about what it's busy with
debian package dependencies now detect R version for "r-base" and "r-base-dev"
debian package dependencies now default to "r-base" instead of "r-base-dev"
initial (and rather experimental...) support for debianizing packages
with the debianize() function
internal function dateRFC2822() now does the date conversion for
news2rss()
generated index.html pages now have a generator meta tag, like the RSS feeds
removed initial tabulator in BibTeX entries of generated citation.html
zip() should now *really* ignore backup files (ending with a tilde)
'cleanup=TRUE' now recursively removes backup files in the source directory
using Rd2pdf instead of Rd2dvi for R >= 2.15 now; in 'Rcmd.options',
Rd2dvi will still be recognized, though
zip() should now ignore backup files (ending with a tilde)
RSS feeds in HTML header now also state the package name (action "html")
re-wrote HTML genrating functions, now all is done use XiMpLe methods
added new function news2rss() to write RSS feeds (XML) from
NEWS.Rd/NEWS.html files
action "html" now adds the RSS feed for a package to the HTML header and
news link
exported a new function, cl2news(), which now carries out the action by
the same name, but can also used stand-alone
added dependency to the XiMpLe package to make the handling of all
HTML/XML stuff easier
removed "target" attributes from HTML anchors to comply with XHTML 1.0
strict
action "html" now also writes an index.html file to the repository root
directory
added option to manually specify options to the internal R CMD calls to
roxy.package()
fixed build for multiple R homes, now using R CMD INSTALL instead of
install.packages()
OS is now checked and on Windows shell() is used instead of system()
fixed broken "check" action on Windows
added action "cl2news" to transform ChangeLogs into NEWS.Rd
