v1.2.2

• This version does not add an emoji hash to the output.

• The source column of the output data frame of package_info() (also
  part of session_info()), now contains the full SHA for packages installed
  from GitHub, instead of only the first seven characters. This makes it
  easier to use the SHA programmatically. Note that this does not affect
  formatting and printing, which still use the abbreviated SHA.
  (@muschellij2, #61).

• RStudio Package Manager (RSPM) and other repository sources are
  now shown in the source column, if they set the Repository
  field in DESCRIPTION.

v1.2.1

• package_info() and session_info() now do not fail if the version
  number of an installed package is invalid.

• Better aliases for the list of attached, loaded and installed packages
  in package_inf() and session_info().

v1.2.0

• New function external_info(), information about external software.
  It can be also requested with the new info argument of
  session_info() (@llrs).

• New function python_info(), information about Python configuration.
  It is automatically included in session_info() if the reticulate
  package is loaded and Python is available. You can also request it
  manually via the new info argument of session_info() (#33).

• The output of session_info() now has an emoji hash, consisting of
  three emojis. This allows quick comparison of two session infos (#26).

• All *_info() functions use ANSI colors on systems that support them.
  In particular, it highlights unusual package versions and sources,
  and possible package problems (#3).

• New session_diff() function, to compare two session infos from
  various sources (#6).

• session_info() has a new argument named info, to select which parts
  of the session information should be printed.

• session_info() now has a to_file argument, to write the output to a
  file (#30).

• session_inf() has a dependencies argument now, and passes it to
  package_info().

• package_info() and session_info() can now list the attached or
  installed packages, see the pkgs argument in the manual for
  details (#42).

• platform_info() and session_info() now include the Windows build
  number in the output (#40).

• sessioninfo now never wraps the output if the screen is too narrow (#31).

• All *_info() functions have a format() S3 method now.

• platform_info() and session_info() now include the RStudio version if
  the R session is in RStudio (#29).

• The source column of the package list is now more informative.

v1.1.1

1.1.1

• package_info() and session_info() now detect locally installed packages
  correctly if they have an empty biocViews field in DESCRIPTION (@llrs, #25)

• package_info() and session_info() now handle the case when a loaded
  package was removed from the disk.

v1.1.0

Release Notes

• package_info() now has a dependencies argument, to filter the type
  of dependent packages in the output (#22).

• session_info() and package_info() now show the library search path,
  and also which library each package was loaded from. They also warn
  if the on-disk version of the package has a different path than the
  loaded version (#9, #20).

• package_info()'s ondiskversion entry is now correct.

• session_info() and package_info() now verify the MD5 hashes of DLL
  files on Windows, and warns for micmatches, as these are usually
  broken packages (#12, #16).

• We use now the cli package, instead of clisymbols, and this fixes
  printing bugs in LaTeX documents (#14).

• session_info() and platform_info() now include the LC_CTYPE
  locale category (@patperry, #11)

• session_info() and package_info() now print source of the CRAN
  packages in uppercase, always, even if they were installed by devtools.

• session_info() and platform_info() now handle the case when
  utils::sessionInfo()$running is NULL (@HenrikBengtsson, #7).

• session_info() and package_info() now only list loaded versions
  for namespaces which are already loaded. This only makes a difference
  if the pkgs argument is given (#4).

• Do not consult the max.print option, for platform and package info
  (@jennybc, #13).
