In robertzk/lockbox: lockbox (http://github.com/robertzk/lockbox)

Version 0.2.5.2

• Support tarball remote in lockfile.yml.

Version 0.2.5.1

• Version numbers with two digits (e.g., "0.2") are now cast as character.

Version 0.2.5.0

• Stores and restores github packages specified by ref by hash. They are only used if specified in the lockfile.

Version 0.2.4.8

• Fix printing of dependencies loaded during lockbox::lockbox call.

Version 0.2.4.7

• Fix the bug surfaced by https://github.com/robertzk/lockbox/issues/116.

Version 0.2.4.6

• Explicitly reference methods::is.

Version 0.2.4.5

• Add session identifiers to staging library.

Version 0.2.4.4

• Remove unnecessary package exports (setNames, packageVersion, untar).

Version 0.2.4.3

• Local remote can be inferred from the presence of a dir key.

Version 0.2.4.1-2

• Fix a bug for autoinstall.

Version 0.2.4

• Do not re-download packages during dependency downloading/parsing phase.
• Use order in lockfile for namespace loading.

Version 0.2.3

• Adds an option for autoinstall: true for quick development on local packages.

Version 0.2.2

• Fix regex to handle multiple remotes and be more flexible on CRAN's available packages filter.

Version 0.2.1

• Ignore locks from parent directories when creating the staging library.

Version 0.2.0

• Support recursive downloading of CRAN dependencies.

Version 0.1.12

• Use a path for the staging library that is always available from a permissions perspective. (tempdir() may not always be writable)

Version 0.1.11

• Fixed help files by moving storage of all packages to pkg_name/version/pkg_name.

Version 0.1.10

• Added the notion of a transient staging library. Previously, installing packages while lockboxed would conflict with the transient library, since one may overwrite the symlinks in the transient library. Instead of attaching one extra library path (the transient library), we now attach two: the other is the transient staging library, which is simply an empty directory used in conjunction with a task callback to transfer interactively installed packages to the vanilla library.

  The location of the transient staging library is fixed to be the same as the transient library suffixed with _staging.

Version 0.1.9.6

• Prettified the output of the installation and made it look more bundler like. This comes at a price of hiding the installation log output. If you want to debug some issue with lockbox make sure to set options(lockbox.autoload = TRUE).

Version 0.1.9.5

• Added a lockbox.default option which, when set to the path of a lockfile.yml, will load that lockfile after attaching the package to the search path (note this behavior is disabled if options(lockbox.autoload = FALSE)).

Version 0.1.9.2-4

• Assorted fixes to library loading.

• When lockbox is attached to the search path while the current directory is a project managed by lockbox (i.e., has a lockfile.yml somewhere in a parent directory), the relevant package versions will be autoloaded. This behavior can be disabled with options(lockbox.autoload = FALSE).

• The option lockbox.env for controlling the default environment to load when calling lockbox::lockbox.

Version 0.1.9.1

• To be more consistent with devtools, you now have to set GITHUB_PAT environment variable to install private repos from github.

Version 0.1.9

• For packages installed from github, the subdir parameter in the lock file will be passed to devtools::install_github during installation.

• Added the load option to elements in the lock file. If set to false, the package will not be loaded by default, but will have to be requested by the user using library(packagename).

Version 0.1.8

• If the user sets the GIT_PAT system environment variable to their Github personal authorization token, private Github repos will be manageable by lockbox. Check out Github's guide to understand how to obtain a personal authorization token. It should be a 32 character hexadecimal string.

Version 0.1.7

• Using the base::addTaskCallback mechanism, lockbox moves any installed packages from the transient library to the user's "real" library if they installed packages in a session that was loaded using lockbox.

  This is to ensure that no packages are installed into the transient library or the lockbox library unless they are explicitly in a lockfile.

Version 0.1.5

• Installing non-github (i.e. CRAN) packages now works on Ubuntu.

Version 0.1.4

• Support for installing from local packages by setting remote: local and dir: /your/pkg/dir.

Version 0.1.3

• Fixed a bug where empty libraries were not correctly symlinked during staging library creation and instead triggered an error.

Version 0.1.2

• Thanks to Kirill Sevastyanenko, support for downloaded older versions of packages from CRAN was added. #15

Version 0.1.1

• Added a vignette "Libraries in Lockbox" explaining the three different libraries that make lockbox works: the lockbox library, the transient library, and the staging library.

• Added internal set of functions in staging.R to create a virtual library that is used when installing new packages to lockbox. Prior to this, installation of new packages that had a non-zero number of dependencies failed.

Version 0.1.0

• The initial creation of the package.
