job 0.3.1

Bug fix release

Bug fixes

Now loads packages in the correct order. Closes #53.
Now accurately represents NA_character_ etc. in the job. Closes #51.
Now gracefully handles loaded but uninstalled packages. Closes #48.
Avoid crash on R 4.4 by removing the check for RStudio version >= 1.2 (from April 2019). Thanks Balázs Knakker for detecting and fixing this bug!

job 0.3.0

First release submitted to CRAN.

New features:

Control what objects are returned using the job::export() function in the code chunk. The default is job::export("changed") which returns all variables that were defined or changed during the job. v0.1 only returned new variable names (now job::export("new")). Read more in the README. (#15)
Use job::export("changed", file = "my_jobresult.RData") to save to a file rather than returning to the main RStudio session.
job::job() shows more informative messages all around to reduce state ambiguity when launching jobs.
Much faster import for large environments.

job 0.2.0

New features:

RStudio addins (#6)! Read more in the README.
Use import = "auto" to import all objects that are "mentioned" in the code. The default import = "all" replaces import = ls().
The job title now includes a code snippet for unnamed chunks instead of defaulting to "(untitled)".
job::job() now takes unnamed arguments too, e.g., job::job({<code>}, NULL, c("rstudioapi")). (#25)
Added job::empty() which is short for job::job({<code>}, import = NULL, packages = NULL, opts = NULL) (#23)

Bug fixes

RStudio-specific options caused errors - mostly on macs (#4, #7, #10, #27)
The addins can now handle apostrophes in the job title.

Other changes

Unnamed chunks returns contents to global environment instead of returning nothing. .call is not saved in this case. (#9)
Peak memory usage has been considerably reduced.
The digest package was added as a dependency to support export("changed").
Transitioned to testthat for unit tests and expanded the test suite considerably. (#26)

job 0.1.0

Beta release.
