Changes in version 1.4.0 (2026-06-03)                  

New features

  - f() — string interpolation ("f-strings"): f("Hi {name}, you have {n}
    messages").
  - %else% — inline fallback for an expression that might error:
    read.csv(path) %else% data.frame().
  - %+-% — tolerance-interval constructor that composes with the between
    operators: x %><% (5 %+-% 0.5).
  - %/0% — safe division that returns NA instead of Inf/NaN on
    divide-by-zero.
  - %~% — case- and whitespace-insensitive string equality (the string
    counterpart to %~=%).
  - as.percent() — format a proportion as a percentage string.

Bug fixes

  - is.bad_for_calcs() now correctly flags Inf/-Inf as bad for
    calculations. Previously infinities slipped through, which also
    affected the comparison operators (%==%, %>=%, ...) that rely on it.
  - is.R_x64() now calls is.os_unx() correctly (it previously referenced
    the function without calling it).
  - seq_around() now accepts ordinary numeric values for n; it
    previously errored unless n was given as an explicit integer (e.g.
    5L).
  - The between operators (%><%, %>=<%) now handle reversed bounds, so 5
    %><% c(10, 1) behaves the same as 5 %><% c(1, 10).
  - %na<-% now also accepts a replacement vector with one entry per
    missing value (filled in order), in addition to a scalar or a
    full-length vector.
  - Removed a stray duplicate (and subtly broken) internal definition of
    is.bad_for_calcs().

Improvements

  - as.class() is now vector-safe and no longer builds and parses code
    from a string internally.
  - is.http_available() uses requireNamespace() instead of the much
    slower installed.packages().
  - get_system_python(), is_rda_file(), and is_rds_file() are now
    exported (they were documented in earlier versions but never
    actually exported).

Documentation, tests & infrastructure

  - Documentation overhaul for clarity and consistency: tightened every
    help page, fixed typos throughout, and added missing \value
    documentation and runnable examples.
  - %rlike% and %perl% now have their own help page ("SQL-style pattern
    matching") instead of being grouped under the logical operators.
  - Rewritten, comprehensive vignette and a README.Rmd so the README's
    output is always real.
  - Added a full testthat test suite covering the operators and helpers,
    a BugReports URL, a pkgdown site configuration, and GitHub Actions
    for R-CMD-check and pkgdown deployment.

                 Changes in version 1.3.14 (2023-07-20)                 

  - added is.os_arm() to check if running ARM cpu
  - added get_R_version() to pull current R version
  - added get_R_version_age() to find how old the installed R version is
  - added get_latest_CRAN_version() to find the latest version on CRAN
    (rvest required)
  - added get_system_python() to return default python called in system
    calls to "python"
  - added %C% for choose operator and %P% for permute
  - added %integrate% for inline integrations
  - added is.http_available() to check whether you can send an HTTP
    request (via httr, RCurl, or a system call to curl).

                        Changes in version 1.3.0                        

  - added seq_around() for evenly spaced sequences around an origin
    point
  - Cleaned up roxygen comments, DESCRIPTION, and NAMESPACE files.
  - Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
  - New complete cases functions (length_cc(), min_cc(), max_cc(),
    range_cc(), all_cc(), any_cc(), sum_cc(), prod_cc(), mean_cc(),

    weighted.mean_cc(), quantile_cc(), IQR_cc(), mad_cc(), rowSums_cc(),

    argument to standard base/stats functions for only calculating on
    complete cases.
  - New get_os(), is.os_mac, is.os_win, is.os_lnx, and is.os_unx helper
    functions to quickly determine operating system.

    specific file extensions.

    Revolution R and RStudio are installed.
  - New n_unique() function to count unique items and n_unique_cc()
    version for complete cases.
  - New is.constant() and is.binary() functions to indicate whether a
    vector is constant (contains only ONE value type, ignoring NA) or
    binary (contains at most TWO value types, ignoring NA).
  - New get_most_frequent() function to get most frequent thing(s) in x.
  - New get_most_frequent_word() function to get most frequent word from
    string.
  - New get_nth_word() function to get nth word from string

    after the cat

  - New paste_oxford() shortcut for paste_series as oxford comma
