# pkgdown 1.4.1
* Don't install test package in user library (fixes CRAN failure).
# pkgdown 1.4.0
## New features
* `build_site()`, `build_reference()` and `build_home()` gain a parameter
`devel` which controls whether you're in deployment or development mode.
It generalises and replaces (with deprecation) the existing `document`
argument.
Development mode is optimised for rapid iteration and is the default
for `build_reference()`. It uses `pkgload::load_all()` to load code
directly from disk in order.
Deployment mode is slower, but guarantees correct results, and is the
default for `build_site()`. It installs the package into a temporary
library, and runs examples/articles in a new process.
* `build_reference()` no longer runs `devtools::document()` (#1079) and
`build_home()` no longer re-builds `README.Rmd`. This makes the scope
of responsibility of pkgdown more clear: it now only creates/modifies
files in `doc/`.
* `build_home()` now strips quotes from `Title` and `Description` fields
when generating page metadata. Additionally, you can now override the
defaults via the `title` and `description` fields in the `home` section of
`_pkgdown.yml` (#957, @maelle).
* `vignette("linking")` describes how pkgdown's automatic linking works, and
how to ensure that cross-package links point to the right place.
## Bug fixes and minor improvements
### Rd translation
* `\examples{}` rendering has been completely overhauled so it now first
converts the entire mixed Rd-R block to R prior, and then evaluates the
whole thing. This considerably improves the fidelity of the translation
at a small cost of no longer being able to remove `\donttest{}` and
friends (#1087).
* `\item{}`s in `\describe{}` containing whitespace are translated correctly
(#1117).
* `\dots` and `\ldots` are translated to `...` instead of the ellipsis,
since they're often found in code (#1114).
* `\tabular{}` translation handles code better (@mitchelloharawild, #978).
* `\subsection{}` contents are now treated as paragraphs, not inline text
(#991).
* `\preformatted{}` blocks preserve important whitespace (#951).
### Front end
* Links to online documentation for functions in code chunks are no longer
displayed when printing (#1135, @bisaloo).
* Updated fontawesome to v5.7.1. fontawesome 5 [deprecated the `fa` prefix](https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/upgrading-from-version-4#changes).
If you have used custom icons in your navbar, you'll should update them from
(e.g.) `fa fa-home` to `fas fa-home`. Brands now have a separate prefix so
`fa fa-github` becomes `fab fa-github` (#953).
* The navbar is now automatically hidden with
[headroom.js](https://wicky.nillia.ms/headroom.js/).
* The sticky behaviour of the navbar is now implemented in pure CSS instead of
relying a the 3rd party javascript library (#1016, @bisaloo)
* Favicons are now automatically built from a package logo (#949).
### Linking
* Infix operators (e.g., `%in%` and `%*%`) are now linked to their
documentation (#1082).
* Function names can now be included in headers without spurious auto-linking
(#948).
* Links to external documentation now point to [rdrr.io](https://rdrr.io)
(#998).
### Other
* News page recognises more version specfications (including the
"(development version)" now used by usethis) (#980).
* Subdirectories are supported for assets (#939, @ijlyttle).
* A default 404 page (`404.html`) is built, unless a custom `.github/404.md`
is provided (#947).
* `build_article()` now uses the raw vignette title as page `<title>`
and `og:title` (@maelle, #1037).
* `build_home()` now looks for license files spelled either as LICENSE or
LICENCE (#972).
* `build_home()` can find badges in paragraph coming after the comment
`<!-- badges: start -->` (#670, @gaborcsardi, @maelle).
* `build_home()` will add a community section to the sidebar if there is either
a code of conduct (`.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`) or a contributing guide
(`.github/CONTRIBUTING.md`) (#1044, @maelle).
* `build_reference()` gains a `topics` argument which allows you to re-build
only specified topics.
* `build_site(new_process = TRUE)` gains a timeout,
`options(pkgdown.timeout = 10)`, that can be used to prevent stalled
builds.
* `deploy_site_github(install = FALSE)` makes it possible to opt out of
installation.
* `dev_mode()` now recognises `0.1.9000` as a development version of a package
(this is an emerging standard we use for packages with backward incompatible
changes) (#1101).
# pkgdown 1.3.0
* Restore accidentally deleted `build_logo()` function so that logos
are once more copied to the website.
* Fix to `pkgdown.css` so page header has correct amount of top margin.
* `content-home.html` template is no longer used when the homepage
is an `.Rmd` (Reverts #834. Fixes #927, #929)
* `deploy_site_github()` now passes parameters to `build_site()`
(@noamross, #922), and the documentation gives slightly better advice.
* Correct off-by-one error in navbar highlighting javascript; now no navbar
is highlighted if none match the current path (#911).
* Tweaking of HTML table classes was fixed (@yonicd, #912)
* Restore accidentally removed `docsearch.css` file.
# pkgdown 1.2.0
## New features
* `deploy_site_github()` can be used from continuous integration systems
(like travis) to automatically deploy your package website to GitHub Pages.
See documentation for how to set up details (@jimhester).
* `build_favicon()` creates high resolution favicons from the package logo,
and saves them in `pkgdown/`. They are created using the
<http://realfavicongenerator.net> API, and are better suited for modern web
usage (e.g. retina display screens, desktop shortcuts, etc.). This also
removes the dependency on the magick package, making automated deployment
a little easier (@bisaloo, #883).
* Users with limited internet connectivity can explicitly disable internet
usage by pkgdown by setting `options(pkgdown.internet = FALSE)` (#774, #877).
## Improvements to Rd translation
* `rd2html()` is now exported to facilitate creation of translation reprexes.
* `\Sexpr{}` conversion supports multiple arguments, eliminating
`x must be a string or a R connection` errors when using `\doi{}` (#738).
* `\tabular{}` conversion better handles empty cells (#780).
* `\usage{}` now supports qualified functions eliminating
`Error in fun_info(x) : Unknown call: ::` errors (#795).
* Invalid tags now generate more informative errors (@BarkleyBG, #771, #891)
## Front end
* The default footer now displays the version of pkgdown used to build
the site (#876).
* All third party resources are now fetched from a single CDN and are
give a SRI hash (@bisaloo, #893).
* The navbar version now has class "version" so you can more easily control
its display (#680).
* The default css has been tweaked to ensure that icons are visible on all
browsers (#852).
## Bug fixes and minor improvements
### Home page
* Can now build sites for older packages that don't have a `Authors@R` field
(#727).
* Remote urls ending in `.md` are no longer tweaked to end in `.html` (#763).
* Bug report link is only shown if there's a "BugReports" field (#855).
* `content-home.html` template is now used when the homepage is an `.Rmd`
(@goldingn, #787).
* A link to the source `inst/CITATION` was added to the authors page (#714).
### News
* Uses stricter regular expression when linking to GitHub authors (#902).
### Reference
* Unexported functions and test helpers are no longer loaded (#789).
* Selectors that do not match topics now generate a warning. If none of the
specified selectors have a match, no topics are selected (#728).
### Articles
* The display depth of vignette tables of contents can be configured by
setting `toc: depth` in `_pkgdown.yml` (#821):
```yaml
toc:
depth: 2
```
### Overall site
* `init_site()` now creates a CNAME file if one doesn't already exist and the
site's metadata includes a `url` field.
* `build_site()` loses vestigal `mathjax` parameter. This didn't appear to do
anything and no one could remember why it existed (#785).
* `build_site()` now uses colours even if `new_process = TRUE` (@jimhester).
# pkgdown 1.1.0
## New features
* `build_reference()` and `build_site()` get new `document` argument. When
`TRUE`, the default, will automatically run `devtools::document()` to
ensure that your documentation is up to date.
* `build_site()` gains a `new_process` argument, which defaults to `TRUE`.
This will run pkgdown in a separate process, and is recommended practice
because it improves reproducibility (#647).
* Improved display for icons: icons must be 30px and stored in top-level
`icons/` directory. They are embedded in a separate column of reference
index table, instead of being inside a comment (!) (#607).
## Front end
* Added a keyboard shortcut for searching. Press `shift` + `/` (`?`) to move
focus to the search bar (#642).
* The Algolia logo is correctly shown in the search results (#673).
* Navbar active tab highlighting uses a superior approach (suggested by
@jcheng5) which should mean that the active page is correctly highlighted
in all scenarios (#660).
* `pkgdown.js` is better isolated so it should still work even if you
load html widgets that import a different version of jquery (#655).
## Improvements to Rd translation
* `vignette()` calls that don't link to existing vignettes silently fail
to link instead of generating an uninformative error messages (#652).
Automatic linking works for re-exported objects that are not functions
(@gaborcsardi, #666).
* Empty `\section{}`s are ignored (#656). Previously, empty sections caused
error `Error in rep(TRUE, length(x) - 1)`.
* `\Sexpr{}` supports `results=text`, `results=Rd` and `results=hide` (#651).
* `\tabular{}` no longer requires a terminal `\cr` (#664, #645).
## Minor bug fixes and improvements
* Add `inst/pkgdown.yml` as a possible site configuration file so that packages
on CRAN can be built without needing the development version (#662).
* Default navbar template now uses site title, not package name (the package
name is the default title, so this will not affect most sites) (#654).
* You can suppress indexing by search engines by setting `noindex: true`
`pkgdown.yml` (#686)
```yaml
template:
params:
noindex: true
```
* `build_article()` sets `IN_PKGDOWN` env var so `in_pkgdown()` works
(#650).
* `build_home()`: CITATION files with non-UTF-8 encodings (latin1) work
correctly, instead of generating an error. For non-UTF-8 locales, ensure you
have e.g. `Encoding: latin1` in your `DESCRIPTION`; but best practice is to
re-enode your CITATION file to UTF-8 (#689).
* `build_home()`: Markdown files (e.g., `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`) stored in
`.github/` are copied and linked correctly (#682).
* `build_news()`: Multi-page changelogs (generated from `NEWS.md` with
`news: one_page: false` in `_pkgdown.yml`) are rendered correctly.
* `build_reference()`: reference index shows infix functions (like `%+%`) as
`` `%+%` ``, not `` `%+%`() `` on (#659).
# pkgdown 1.0.0
* Major refactoring of path handling. `build_` functions no longer take
`path` or `depth` arguments. Instead, set the `destination` directory
at the top level of `pkgdown.yml`.
* Similarly, `build_news()` no longer takes a `one_page` argument;
this should now be specified in the `_pkgdown.yml` instead. See the
documentation for an example.
