box 1.1.0

Breaking changes

Modules without any @export declarations now export all visible names (= names not starting with a dot); to obtain the previous semantics of a module without exports, add a call to box::export() to the module source code.
box::set_script_path now returns the full path previously set, as documented, not just its parent directory’s path. Existing code that relies on this function’s previously incorrect behaviour will need to be updated.

General

Fix: work around broken isRunning function in Shiny ≥1.6.0 (#237)
Fix: Return the full path from box::set_script_path, not just the parent directory’s path; box::script_path now also returns that path without requiring the user to set a new path (#239)
Enhancement: More descriptive error messages when calling box::unload or box::reload with an invalid argument (#232)
Enhancement: More descriptive error messages when a module cannot be found or when there’s a syntactic error in a box::use declaration
Fix: Better detection of whether code is called from inside RStudio (#225)
Fix: Work around R bug in path handling on non-Windows platforms when paths passed to the R binary contain spaces
Enhancement: Support legacy modules (aka. R scripts) better by exporting all visible names (#207)
Enhancement: Permit specifying exports via a function call instead of via @export declarations (#227)
Fix: Make interactive HTML module help work on Windows (#223)
Fix: Prevent segfault in R ≤ 3.6.1 caused by missing declaration of internal R symbol (#213)
Fix: Allow exporting modules that were previously imported using a different prefix (#211)
Enhancement: Add standard module for core R packages (#200)
Enhancement: Warn when legacy functions are imported inside modules (#206)
Fix: Reload dependent modules (#39, #165, #195)
Enhancement: Support empty modules
Fix: Don’t crash in the presence of nested, expanded functions inside modules (#203)

box 1.0.2

Enhancement: Make box::help work with attached objects (#170)
Enhancement: Allow trailing comma in attach list (#191)
Enhancement: Make box::use(.) syntax work (#192)

box 1.0.1

Enhancement: Allow trailing comma in box::use (#172)
Enhancement: Support loading local modules from open files in RStudio (#187)
Enhancement: improve error message and performance for module environment name access via $ (#180)
Enhancement: Add explicit support for ‘testthat’ (#188)
