foghorn 1.6.0

CRAN release: 2024-07-02

New Features

The output of cran_results() and summary_cran_results() can now include the deadline fixed by CRAN. This deadline is the date by which requested changes need to be implemented before the package gets archived. To see any deadline that might have been set by CRAN Maintainers, add ("deadline") as one of the values to the show argument. The value of the show argument can also be controled by the local option foghorn_columns.
The cran_results() function gains the max_requests argument that limits the number of requests that are performed against the CRAN website in a single query.

Bug fixes

Packages that only have “other issues” will no longer show “All clear” in the summary output.

Other changes

The crayon package has been replaced with cli for styling the output.
The clisymbols package has been replaced with cli for the symbols displayed in the output. (#60, reported by @olivroy)
When using the CRAN database as a data source, functions will error if the email address specified is invalid. This behavior is consistent with what happens when using the CRAN website as a data source.

foghorn 1.5.2

CRAN release: 2024-02-02

Other changes

Address change in formatting of CRAN result page that affected the retrieval of the results.

foghorn 1.5.1

CRAN release: 2022-10-24

New Features

The cran_incoming() function does not include the packages found the archive folder by default. (#49, suggested by @krlmlr)
The cran_incoming() gains a new argument. The results are sorted by date (in decreasing order) by default. Using sort_by_date = FALSE to get the old behavior (#49, suggested by @krlmlr).

Other changes

The progress bar for larger file downloads from CRAN server has been removed.
The httr2 package is now used internally to download files and data from the CRAN servers.
The unexported code to use the crancheck API (https://cranchecks.info/) has been removed from the code base.
All support for FTP access has been removed.

foghorn 1.4.2

CRAN release: 2021-07-11

Other changes

The parsing of incorrectly formatted package names submitted to CRAN’s queue does not lead foghorn to error. The version number for such packages is now NA instead of 0.0.0. (#45, reported by @bastistician)
Rename internal function to reflect it does not use FTP anymore.

foghorn 1.4.1

CRAN release: 2021-05-31

foghorn 1.3.2

CRAN release: 2020-12-17

Bug fixes

The output of winbuilder_queue() was always empty following a change to the content returned by the Win-builder FTP server (#43, reported by @bbolker).

foghorn 1.3.1

CRAN release: 2020-09-08

New feature

Implement scrapping of Win-builder queue (#40 suggested by @krlmlr).

Other changes

In cran_incoming() and winbuilder_queue() the version numbers in the tibbles are of class package_version (suggested by @krlmlr).
cran_incoming() output includes the size of the tarball archive.
cran_incoming() returns a zero-row tibble instead of NULL when the inspected folder is empty.

foghorn 1.2.3

CRAN release: 2020-07-30

The number of CRAN check flavors is back to 12.

foghorn 1.2.2

CRAN release: 2020-07-22

The number of CRAN check flavors is now 11.

foghorn 1.2.1

CRAN release: 2020-05-05

The number of CRAN check flavors is back to 12. A new function n_cran_flavors reads the table on the CRAN website that lists the number of flavors, caches it, and returns this number. This is a more robust way to ensure that the number of flavors (used in the package) is always accurate. There is also the possibility of setting the number of flavors (and disabling caching) using options, see the help for the n_cran_flavors() function for more information.

foghorn 1.1.5

Other changes

The vignette “Quick start” has been renamed “Get started” so it could be more visible and easily accessible in the documentation website (#36 reported by @maelle).
The argument v.names in the function stats::reshape wasn’t fully spelled (#37 by @jennybc).

The recent newbies folder found on the CRAN FTP incoming server has been added to the list of places to check packages in CRAN’s submission queue (#32).
