Chore

• Replace [v]sprintf() with [v]snprintf() (#67).

• Add direct include for snprintf() (@MichaelChirico, #43).

• Add ellipsis before optional args (#74).

Documentation

• Show NEWS on CRAN page (#42, #71).

• Add pkgdown reference index.

• Use roxygen2 (#68, #69) with Markdown.

Performance

• Check interrupt every 1024 calls, avoids a division in tight loops.

utf8 1.2.4 (2023-10-16)

• Fix compatibility with macOS 14 (#39).

utf8 1.2.3 (2023-01-30)

Features

• Support Unicode 14.

Chore

• Update maintainer e-mail address.

• Fix compiler warnings (@Antonov548, #37).

utf8 1.2.2 (2021-07-24)

• Reenable all tests.
• utf8_width() now reports correct widths for narrow emojis (#9).

utf8 1.2.1 (2021-03-10)

• Use Unicode and Emoji standards version 13.0 via upgrade to latest utf8lite.
• Silence test on macOS.

utf8 1.1.4 (2018-05-24)

BUG FIXES

• Fix build on Solaris (#7, reported by @krlmlr).

• Fix rendering of emoji ZWJ sequences like "\U1F469\U200D\U2764\UFE0F\U200D\U1F48B\U200D\U1F469".

utf8 1.1.3 (2018-01-03)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Make output_utf8() always return TRUE on Windows, so that characters in the user’s native locale don’t get escaped by utf8_encode(). The downside of this change is that on Windows, utf8_width() reports the wrong values for characters outside the user’s locale when stdout() is redirected by knitr or another process.

• When truncating long strings strings via utf8_format(), use an ellipsis that is printable in the user’s native locale ("\u2026" or“…”`).

utf8 1.1.2 (2017-12-14)

BUG FIXES

• Fix bug in utf8_format() with non-NULL width argument.

utf8 1.1.1 (2017-11-28)

BUG FIXES

• Fix PROTECT bug in as_utf8().

utf8 1.1.0 (2017-11-20)

NEW FEATURES

• Added output_ansi() and output_utf8() functions to test for output capabilities.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Add utf8 argument to utf8_encode(), utf8_format(), utf8_print(), and utf8_width() for precise control over assumed output capabilities; defaults to the result of output_utf8().

• Add ability to style backslash escapes with the escapes arguments to utf8_encode() and utf8_print(). Switch from “faint” styling to no styling by default.

• Slightly reword error messages for as_utf8().

• Fix (spurious) rchk warnings.

BUG FIXES

• Fix bug in utf8_width() determining width of non-ASCII strings when LC_CTYPE=C.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• No longer export the C version of as_utf8() (the R version is still present).

utf8 1.0.0 (2017-11-06)

• Added special handling for Unicode grapheme clusters in formatting and width measurement functions.

• Added ANSI styling to escape sequences.

• Added ability to style row and column names in utf8_print().
