  • pak functions that used to return tibbles return data frames now.
    While data frames and tibbles are very similar, they are not completely
    compatible. To convert the outputs of pak functions to tibbles call the
    tibble::as_tibble() function on them. If the pillar package is loaded,
    it improves the printing of the returned data frames.

    Relatedly, pak::pak_install_extra() installs pillar now, instead of tibble.

  • pak now supports file:// repositories.

  • pak now uses HTTP 1.1 to download packages on Linux, in addition to macOS.
    This fixes HTTP issues with some servers (#358).

  • New ?ignore-before-r parameter to ignore optional dependencies that
    need a newer R version (r-lib/pkgdepends#243).

  • New ?ignore parameter to ignore an optional dependency.

  • Allow specifying downstream package parameters with the package=?param
    syntax.

  • lockfile_install() now works better for any:: refs, and pak always
    install the version it has planned for.

  • System requirement installation is now more robust and works for
    Unix shell expressions (#347).

  • CRAN-like resolution is more robust now if a repository is missing
    the usual metadata.

  • The lock file is pretty JSON now.

  • pak now handles all version requirement types properly:
    '<', '<=', ==, >=, >.

  • The dependency solver now uses better heuristics and does not
    (effectively) freeze if multiple repositories have multiple versions of
    the same packages (e.g. RSPM and CRAN)
    (r-lib/pkgdepends#277)
