NEWS

* `decompress` now uses target directory as defined in the function call
  when expanding a compressed file. (Fixes #84)

* `check` uses new `--as-cran` option to make checking as close to CRAN as
  possible (fixes #68)

* `install` now quotes `libpath` so paths with embedded spaces work. (Fixes
  #73)

devtools 0.6
------------

NEW FEATURES

* `test` function takes `filter` argument which allows you to restrict which
  tests are to be run

* `check` runs with example timings, as is done on CRAN. Run with new param
  `cleanup = F` to access the timings. 

* `missing_s3` function to help figure out if you've forgotten to export any
  s3 methods

* `check_cran` downloads and checks a CRAN package - this is useful to run as
  part of the testing process of your package if you want to check the
  dependencies of your package

* `strict` mode for `run_examples` which runs each example in a clean
  environment. This is much slower than the default (running in the current
  environment), but ensures that each example works standalone. 

* `dev_mode` now updates prompt to indicate that it's active (Thanks to Kohske
  Takahashi)

* new `source_url` function for sourcing script on a remote server via
  protocols other than http (e.g. https or ftp). (Thanks to Kohske Takahashi)

* new `source_gist` function to source R code stored in a github gist. (Thanks
  to Kohske Takahashi)

* `load_all` now also loads all package dependencies (including suggestions) -
  this works around some bugs in the way that devtools attaches the
  development environment into the search path in a way that fails to recreate
  what happens normally during package loading.

INSTALLATION

* remote installation will ensure the configure file is executable.

* all external package installation functions are vectorised so you can
  install multiple packages at time

* new `install_gitorious` function install packages in gitorious repos.

* new `install_url` function for installing package from an arbitrary url

* include `install_version` function from Jeremy Stephens for installing a
  specific version of a CRAN package from the archive.

BETTER WINDOWS BEHAVIOUR

* better check for OS type (thanks to Brian Ripley)

* better default paths for 64-bit R on windows (Fixes #35)

* check to see if Rtools is already available before trying to mess with the
  paths. (Fixes #55)

BUG FIXES

* if an error occurs when calling loading R files, the cache will be
  automatically cleared so that all files are loaded again next time you try
  (Fixes #55)

* functions that run R now do so with `R_LIBS` set to the current
  `.libPaths()` - this will ensure that checking uses the development library
  if you are in development mode. `R_ENVIRON_USER` is set to an empty file to
  avoid your existing settings overriding this.

* `load_data` (called by `load_all`) will also load data defined in R files in
  the data directory. (Fixes #45)

* `dev_mode` performs some basic tests to make sure you're not setting your
  development library to a directory that's not already an R library. (Fixes
  #25)

devtools 0.5.1
--------------

* Fix error in that was causing R commands to fail on windows.

devtools 0.5
--------------

NEW FUNCTIONS

* new `show_rd` function that will show the development version of a help
  file.

IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES

* external R commands always run in locale `C`, because that's what the CRAN
  severs do.

* `clean_source` sources an R script into a fresh R environment, ensuring that
  it can run independently of your current working environment. Optionally
  (`vanilla = T`), it will source in a vanilla R environment which ignores all
  local environment settings.

* On windows, `devtools` will also add the path to `mingw` on startup. (Thanks
  to pointer from Dave Lovell)

devtools 0.4
------------

NEW FUNCTIONS

* new `wd` function to change the working directory to a package subdirectory.

* `check_doc` now checks package documentation as a whole, in the same way
  that `R CMD check` does, rather than low-level syntax checking, which is
  done by `roxygen2. DESCRIPTION checking has been moved into `load_all`.
  `check_rd` has been removed.

* `build` is now exported, and defaults to building in the package's parent
  directory. It also gains a new `binary` parameter controls whether a binary
  or a source version (with no vignettes or manuals) is built. Confusingly,
  binary packages are built with `R CMD INSTALL`.

* `build_win` sends your package to the R windows builder, allowing you to
  make a binary version of your package for windows users if you're using
  linux or a max (if you're using windows already, use `build(binary = T)`)

IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES

* if using `.Rpackages` config file, default function is used last, not first.

* on Windows, `devtools` now checks for the presence of `Rtools` on startup,
  and will automatically add it to the path if needed.

* `document` uses `roxygen2` instead of `roxygen`. It now loads package
  dependency so that they're available when roxygen executes the package
  source code.

* `document` has new parameter `clean` which clears all roxygen caches and
  removes all existing man files. `check` now runs `document` in this mode.

* `dev_mode` will create directories recursively, and complain if it can't
  create them.  It should also work better on windows.

* `install_github` now allows you to specify which branch to download, and
  automatically reloads package if needed.

* `reload` now will only reload if the package is already loaded.

* `release` gains `check` parameter that allows you to skip package check (if
  you've just done it.)

* `test` automatically reloads code so you never run tests on old code 

devtools 0.3
------------

* new `bash()` function that starts bash shell in package directory. Useful if
  you want to use git etc.

* removed inelegant `update_src()` since now superseded by `bash()`

* fix bug in ftp upload that was adding extraneous space

* `build` function builds package in specified directory. `install`, `check`
  and `release` now all use this function.

* `build`, `install`, `check` and `release` better about cleaning up after
  themselves - always try to both work in session temporary directory and
  delete any files/directories that they create

devtools 0.2
------------

* `install_github` now uses `RCurl` instead of external `wget` to retrieve
  package. This should make it more robust wrt external dependencies.

* `load_all` will skip missing files with a warning (thanks to suggestion from Jeff Laake)

* `check` automatically deletes `.Rcheck` directory on successful completion

* Quote the path to R so it works even if there are spaces in the path.

devtools 0.1
------------

* Check for presence of `DESCRIPTION` when loading packages to avoid false
  positives

* `install` now works correctly with `devel_mode` to install packages in your
  development library

* `release` prints news so you can more easily check it

* All `R CMD xxx` functions now use the current R, not the first R found on
  the system path.
