clipr 0.4.0

• Introduces dr_clipr(), which gives informative suggestions for software and configuration requirements when accessing the clipboard on X11-based systems.

clipr 0.3.3

• Due to poor testing and configuration options, clipr was not delivering on its promised support for xsel :( This has now been fixed, with more complete Travis tests, and some core fixes by @milesmcbain.

clipr 0.3.2

• Suppress an erroneous warning on OS X / X11 systems when trying to write an empty string to the clipboard.

• Fix error when NA is passed to write_clip(). This will now write "NA" to the clipboard.

• Fix error when passing NULL or an empty vector (e.g. character(0)). This will now write "" to the clipboard.

clipr 0.3.1

• Fixes a breaking bug that caused clipr_available to erroneously return FALSE. Thank you to @krivit for catching this.

• Introduces better testing of clipr_available to properly evaluate it on Travis CI.

clipr 0.3.0

• Introduces clipr_available which checks to see if the system clipboard is writeable/readable. This may be useful if you are developing a package that relies on clipr and need to ensure that it will skip tests on machines (e.g. CRAN, Travis) where the system clipboard may not be available. Thank you to @jennybc for this suggestion.

• Implements genuine testing of clipr functionality with thanks to some deft environment variable settings added by @jennybc.

• Two Rstudio addins: one to copy the value returned when a highlighted expression is evaluated, and another that copies the console output.

## clipr 0.2.1

• Introduces read_clip_tbl, a convenience function that takes tab-delimited text from read_clip (such as that copied from a spreadsheet) and parses it with read.table. Thank you to Steve Simpson (@data-steve) for the original PR.

• write_clip(object_type = "table") has a new internal implementation (writing to a temporary file rather than using capture.output) which should dramatically shorten the time it takes to write very large tables to the clipboard. Thank you to @r2evans for this suggestion.

## clipr 0.2.0

• Several changes to write_clip - The separator to be used when writing a character vector can now be explicitly declared using breaks. breaks=NULL will default to system-specific line breaks for both vectors and tables. - write_clip will default to formatting data.frames and matrices with write.table, allowing easy pasting of tabular objects into programs like Excel. Option object_type="auto" will check the object type to decide on the correct formatting, or the user may explicitly state object_type="table" or object_type="character". - clipr will default to sane system-specific options for write.table(), however you may pass any custom desired options via write_clip - return_new=TRUE (the default behavior) will return the formatted character string that was passed to the system clipboard, while write_clip(return_new=FALSE) will return the original object.

• Introduces clear_clip, a wrapper function for write_clip("") for easy clearing of the system clipboard.

## clipr 0.1.1

• Bug fix that removes the explicit test for "Linux" in favor of a check for "xclip" or "xsel"
