withr 2.2.0 2020-04-20

  • defer() can set deferred events on .GlobalEnv to facilitate the interactive development of code inside a function or test. Helpers deferred_run() (and deferred_clear()) provide a way to explicity run and clear (or just clear) deferred events (#76, @jennybc).

  • with_connection() now works when existing objects or connections exist with the same names (#120)

  • with_makevars() now uses tools::makevars_user() to determine the default user makevars file (#77, @siddharthab).

  • with_options() no longer uses do.call(), so optiosn are not evaluated on exit (#73, @mtmorgan).

  • with_package() no longer has the help argument (#94, @wendtke).

  • with_package() now does not try to detach the package if it is already attached before calling with_package() (#107)

  • Add with_rng_version() and local_rng_version() functions to change the version of the RNG (#90, @gaborcsardi).

  • with_svg() documentation now is consistent across R versions (#129)

  • Add with_timezone() and local_timezone() functions to change the time zone (#92, @gaborcsardi).

  • with_tempfile() and local_tempfile() now delete recursively directories on exit (#84, @meta00).
