Release Notes

Release Notes Changed

  • Tab completion of package names and the :help browser (search and rendering) are now noticeably faster, especially with many installed packages, since they read R's on-disk package metadata directly instead of evaluating R code for most lookups (#257).
  • The :help browser now renders the Arguments section as a list instead of a table, so argument descriptions containing bullet lists or multiple paragraphs are shown in full rather than squashed onto one line. Fixed
  • arf ipc send input that produced no R output (e.g. assignments) could vanish from the REPL instead of being echoed, while inputs that produced output were shown reliably (#265).
