In trevorld/bracer: Brace Expansions

bracer 1.2.2

• Add a vignette.

bracer 1.2.1

• No user-facing changes (we tweaked examples/tests so that the package check should still pass on platforms with buggy V8 installations).

bracer 1.2.0

• expand_braces(), str_expand_braces(), and glob() now support a new argument engine (#4):

• If 'r' use a pure R parser.

• If 'v8' use the 'braces' Javascript parser via the suggested V8 package.
• If NULL use 'v8' if 'V8' package detected else use 'r'; in either case send a message() about the choice unless getOption(bracer.engine.inform') is FALSE.

The 'braces' Javascript parser can handle some edge cases that the pure R parser cannot.

bracer 1.1.1

• expand_braces() now handles vectorized input and returns one character vector with all the brace expansions. New function str_expand_braces() offers an alternative that instead returns a list of character vectors.
• New function glob provides a wrapper around Sys.glob that supports both brace and wildcard expansion on file paths.

bracer 1.0.1

• expand_braces() can now parse nested braces.

bracer 0.1

• Initial version of expand_braces() function which has partial support for Bash-style brace expansion.
