stringi_1.5.1

1.5.1 (2020-08-31)

• [NEW FEATURE] #400: %s$% and %stri$% are now binary operators
  that call base R's sprintf().

• [NEW FEATURE] #399: The %s*% and %stri*% operators can be used
  in addition to stri_dup(), for the very same purpose.

• [NEW FEATURE] #355: stri_opts_regex() now accepts the time_limit and
  stack_limit options so as to prevent malformed or malicious regexes
  from running for too long.

• [NEW FEATURE] #345: stri_startswith() and stri_endswith() are now equipped
  with the negate parameter.

• [NEW FEATURE] #382: Incorrect regexes are now reported to ease debugging.

• [DEPRECATION WARNING] #347: Any unknown option passed to stri_opts_fixed(),
  stri_opts_regex(), stri_opts_coll(), and stri_opts_brkiter() now
  generates a warning. In the future, the ... parameter will be removed,
  so that will be an error.

• [DEPRECATION WARNING] stri_duplicated()'s fromLast argument
  has been renamed from_last. fromLast is now its alias scheduled
  for removal in a future version of the package.

• [DEPRECATION WARNING] stri_enc_detect2()
  is scheduled for removal in a future version of the package.
  Use stri_enc_detect() or the more targeted stri_enc_isutf8(),
  stri_enc_isascii(), etc., instead.

• [NEW FEATURE] #398: Alternative, British spelling of function parameters
  has been introduced, e.g., stri_opts_coll() now supports both
  normalization and normalisation.

• [NEW FEATURE] #393: stri_read_bin(), stri_read_lines(), and
  stri_write_lines() are no longer marked as draft API.
  stri_read_lines() does not support encoding="auto" anymore.

• [NEW FEATURE] #187: stri_read_bin(), stri_read_lines(), and
  stri_write_lines() now support connection objects as well.

• [NEW FEATURE] #386: New function stri_sort_key() for generating
  locale-dependent sort keys which can be ordered at the byte level and
  return an equivalent ordering to the original string (@DavisVaughan).

• [BUGFIX] #138: stri_encode() and stri_rand_strings()
  now can generate strings of much larger lengths.

• [BUGFIX] stri_wrap() did not honour indent correctly when
  use_width was TRUE.
