pak 0.9.5

• Vector valued library path now works correctly in lockfile_create()
  (#864, #868).

• pak now handles better PPM binaries on private PPM instances (#863).

pak 0.9.4

• pak now works again with custom HTTPS certificates (#647, @tl-hbk).

pak 0.9.3

• Setting use_bioconductor = FALSE (i.e. the PKG_USE_BIOCONDUCTOR
  env var, or the pkg.use_bioconductor option) now truly prevents
  any network contact with Bioconductor.

• pak now supports macOS binaries on R 4.6.x and later.

• pak can now consider installed packages in mutliple
  libraries, when installing packages. Pass a character vector
  of library path as the lib argument of pkg_install().

pak 0.9.2

• No user visible changes.

pak 0.9.1

• pak is now more tolerant with extraneous whitespace in PACKAGES*
  metadata files (#785).

• pak now builds again on FreeBSD (#790).

• Installing dependencies of a package file with deps::<filename>
  works again (#784).

• pak now always uses the correct working directory in the subprocess;
  this was a common source of errors.

• New (nightly) binary builds for aarch64 Windows.

• We do not build binary builds for the release candidate of pak any
  more, only for stable and devel pak. rc is an alias to stable now.

pak 0.9.0

• pak now supports HTTP basic authentication for CRAN-like repositories.
  See 'Authenticated repositories' in the reference manual.

• New function scan_deps() to auto-detect package dependencies from
  R code. deps::. automatically uses detected dependencies now if no
  DESCRIPTION file is found.

• The dependency solver now uses better heuristics, that works better
  (=faster) with multiple repositories with large overlaps
  (r-lib/pkgdepends#392).

• pak is now much better at detecting the correct Linux distribution
  when deciding about PPM and system requirements support.

• pak now uses the use_bioconductor configuration option in meta_*() and
  repo_*() functions (#295, #726, @meztez).

pak 0.8.0.2

No changes

pak 0.8.0.1

No changes.

pak 0.8.0

• pkg_deps() now accepts a vector of package names.

• The metadata cache now does not use source URLs for packages in Archive
  on Posit Package Manager repositories. This URLs may serve a different
  package, even a source package when the main URL for the same package
  serves a binary package. The alternative URLs are not needed on PPM,
  anyway, because PPM is in a consistent state w.r.t. metadata and
  package files (#623).

• pak now supports gitlab:: package sources better, by adding
  explicit syntax to specify subdirectories (r-lib/pkgdepends#353, @dgkf).

• gitlab:: and git:: package sources now support git submodules if
  the git-submodules configuration option is set to TRUE. See
  ?"pak-config" (r-lib/pkgdepends#354).

• The new ?ignore-unavailable parameter makes it easy to ignore soft
  dependencies that are unavailable (#606).

• pak now automatically ignores soft dependencies that have an
  incompatible OS type (OS_type entry in DESCRIPTION) when installing
  packages.

• repo_add() and the ppm_*() functions, e.g. ppm_snapshots(), now
  work again after the PPM API changes
  (r-lib/pkgcache#110,
  r-lib/pkgcache#115).

pak 0.7.2

• pak now supports using parameters for all packages with the
  *=?<param> form. E.g. *=?source installs all packages from source.

• pak now supports R 4.4.0 again, and also Rtools44.
