pillar 1.6.2

Options

• Options pillar.print_max, pillar.print_min, pillar.width and pillar.max_extra_cols are now queried before the corresponding tibble. or dplyr. options are consulted, the latter will be soft-deprecated in pillar v2.0.0 (#353).
• New pillar.bidi option. When active, control characters are inserted to improve display of data with right-to-left text (#333).
• The new pillar.max_footer_lines option (default: 7) allows controlling the maximum number of footer lines shown. It is applied in addition to the existing tibble.max_extra_cols option (#263).

Formatting

• If a column doesn't make use of all horizontal width offered to it, the excess width is distributed over other columns (#331).
• Improved allocation of free space in multi-tier tables with getOption("tibble.width") > getOption("width") (#344).
• All pillars are shown with their true horizontal extent, irrespective of the indicated width. This simplifies the implementation of custom pillar_shaft() methods (#347).

Features

• num() gains extra_sigfig argument to automatically show more significant figures for numbers of the same magnitude with subtle differences (#97).
• print.tbl() and format.tbl() support the max_extra_cols and max_footer_lines arguments that override the corresponding options (#360).
• print.tbl() and format.tbl() maps the now deprecated n_extra argument to max_extra_cols for consistency (#360).

Bug fixes

• Avoid mangling of duplicate column names in footer (#332).
• Fix warning with zero of type bit64::integer64() (#319).

• All package options are now documented in ?pillar_options (#339).
• obj_sum() no longer calls type_sum() for vectors since pillar v1.6.1, this is now documented (#321).
• Fix documentation on usage of vctrs::vec_proxy() and vctrs::vec_restore() (#322).

Internal

• Using attr(exact = TRUE) everywhere.
• is_vector_s3() is no longer generic (#181).
• Fix internal logic around vec_proxy() and vec_restore() (#316).
