pillar 1.6.5

Breaking changes

• New ctl_new_pillar_list(), supersedes ctl_new_compound_pillar() (#433).

Features

• If some but not all sub-columns of a data frame or matrix column are shown, the names and types of the remaining columns are displayed in the footer (#365, #444).
• num(fixed_exponent = ...) is now represented with the fixed exponent in the pillar header, and in the title in ggplot2 (#307).
• tbl_format_setup() gains focus argument that expects a character vector of column names. Focus columns are moved to the front and separated from the main columns by a subtle vertical line (#384).
• New scale_x_num() and scale_y_num(). If a column created with num() is used in a ggplot, the x and y scale will be formatted automatically according to to the specification (#400, #404).
• List columns omit size information if horizontal space is insufficient (#392).
• If the column title of a backticked column is abbreviated, the trailing backtick is still printed (#391).
• new_pillar_shaft_simple() gains short_formatted argument that contains the data to be used if horizontal space is insufficient (#389).
• Default obj_sum() method returns abbreviation in attribute of return value (#390).

Bug fixes

• Extra columns in footer show backticks again if they are non-syntactic (#393).
• Fixed some cases for combinations of printed width and getOption("width") (#432).
• Fix support for nanotime::nanotime() classes (#378, #380).

Documentation

• ?num and ?char now point to tibble (#382).

Internal

• Use eager registration via NAMESPACE for own methods for classes from other packages.
• Reworked formatting routine, now using a visitor-based approach with in-order iteration over all pillars. The only visible changes are that usage of free space (in the case of limited space) has slightly improved (#435).
• Prepared removal of dependency on the crayon package (#233, #406).
• Use snapshot variants, requires testthat >= 3.1.1 (#387).
• Replace internal "pillar_vertical" class with glue::as_glue() (#279).
