path_ext() and path_ext_remove() return
correct extension and path, respectively, when multiple dots are present
in file name (@IndrajeetPatil, #452,
#453).
path_rel() provides an informative error message
when multiple starting directory paths are specified (@IndrajeetPatil,
#454).
path_ext_set() can now handle extensions that contain a
., e.g. csv.gz (@mgirlich, #415).No user visible changes.
inputs to path_real() and path_join()
are coerced to character for consistency with other functions (@raymondben,
#370)
fs uses libuv 1.44.2 now.
file_create() and dir_create() now
return the correct path when ... arguments are used (@davidchall,
#333).
dir_create(recurse = FALSE) now correctly handles
... arguments (@davidchall, #333).
file_exists() now expands ~ again
(#325).
dir_copy() works when path has length
>1 (#360).
Gábor Csárdi is now the maintainer.

dir_create() now restores the previous umask
(#293)
file_exists() is now much faster (#295)
options(fs.fs_path.shorten) can now be used to
control how paths are shortened in tibbles. The default value is
“front”, valid alternatives are “back”, “middle” and “abbreviate”.
(#335)
options(fs.use_tibble = FALSE) can now be used to
disable use of tibbles (#295).
path_tidy() now works with non-UTF8 encoded paths
(@shrektan,
#321).
The libuv release used by fs was updated to 1.38.1
dir_create() now consults the process umask so the
mode during directory creation works like mkdir does
(#284).
fs_path, fs_bytes and
fs_perms objects are now compatible with vctrs 0.3.0
(#266)
fs_path objects now sort properly when there is a
mix of ASCII and unicode elements (#279)
file_info(..., follow = TRUE),
is_dir(), and is_file() follow relative
symlinks in non-current directories (@heavywatal, #280)
dir_map() now grows its internal list safely, the
1.4.0 release introduced an unsafe regression (#268)
file_info() returns a tibble if the tibble package
is installed, and subsets work when it is a data.frame
(#265)
path_real() always fails if the file does not exist.
Thus it can no longer be used to resolve symlinks further up the path
hierarchy for files that do not yet exist. This reverts the feature
introduced in 1.2.7 (#144, #221, #231)
[[.fs_path, [[.fs_bytes and
[[.fs_perms now preserve their classes after subsetting
(#254).

libuv, fixing an issue that could prevent compilation from source on
macOS Catalina. (@kevinushey, #229)

expansion (@dmurdoch, @jennybc, #203).

classes (“fs_bytes” and “numeric”), rather than just “fs_bytes”
(#239)
get_dirent_type() gains a fail argument
(@bellma-lilly,
#219)
is_dir(), is_file(),
is_file_empty() and file_info() gain a
follow argument, to follow links and return information
about the linked file rather than the link itself (#198)
path() now follows “tidy” recycling rules, namely
only consistent or length 1 inputs are recycled. (#238)
path() now errors if the path given or constructed
will exceed PATH_MAX (#233).
path_ext_set() now works with multiple paths (@maurolepore,
#208).
Fix missed test with UTF-8 characters, which now passes on a strict Latin-1 locale.
Fix undefined behavior when casting -1 to
size_t.
dir_ls(), dir_map(),
dir_walk(), dir_info() and
dir_tree() gain a recurse argument, which can
be either a TRUE or FALSE (as was supported
previously) or a number of levels to recurse. The previous
argument recursive has been deprecated.dir_copy() gains a overwrite argument, to
overwrite a given directory (@pasipasi123, #193)dir_create() now throws a more accurate error
message when you try to create a directory in a non-writeable location
(#196).
fs_path objects now always show 10 characters by
default when printed in tibbles (#191).

files` (#171)
dir_tree() function added to print a command line
representation of a directory tree, analogous to the unix
tree program (#82).
Add a comparison vignette to quickly compare base R, fs and shell alternatives (@xvrdm, #168).
path_ext_set() and file_temp() now
treat extensions with a leading . and those without
equally. e.g. path_ext_set("foo", ext = "bar") and
path_ext_set("foo", ext = ".bar") both result in
“foo.bar”
Tidy paths are now always returned with uppercase drive letters on Windows (#174).
format.bench_bytes() now works with
str() in R 3.5.1+ (#155).
path_ext(), path_ext_remove(), and
path_ext_set() now work on paths with no extension, and
file_temp() now prepends a . to the file
extension (#153).
Link with -pthread by default and fix on BSD systems (#128, #145, #146).
file_chown() can now take a group_id
parameter as character (@cderv, #162).
Parameter browser in file_show() now
works as described in the documentation (@GegznaV, #154).
path_real() now works even if the file does not
exist, but there are symlinks further up the path hierarchy
(#144).
colourise_fs_path() now returns paths uncolored if
the colors argument / LS_COLORS is malformed
(#135).
This is a small bugfix only release.
file_move() now fall back to copying, then removing
files when moving files between devices (which would otherwise fail)
(#131, https://github.com/r-lib/usethis/issues/438).
Fix for a double free when using warn = TRUE
(#132)
New path_wd() generates paths from the current
working directory (#122).
New path_has_parent() determines if a path has a
given parent (#116).
New file_touch() used to change access and
modification times for a file (#98).
dir_ls(), dir_map(),
dir_walk(), dir_info() and
file_info() gain a fail parameter, to signal
warnings rather than errors if they are called on a path which is
unavailable due to permissions or locked resources (#105).
path_tidy() now always includes a trailing slash for
the windows root directory, e.g. C:/ (#124).
path_ext(), path_ext_set() and
path_ext_remove() now handle paths with non-ASCII
characters (#120).
fs_path objects now print (without colors) even if
the user does not have permission to stat them (#121).
compatibility with upcoming gcc 8 based Windows toolchain (#119)
Experimental support for / and +
methods for fs_path objects (#110).
file_create() and dir_create() now take
..., which is passed to path() to make
construction a little nicer (#80).
path_ext(), path_ext_set() and
path_ext_remove() now handle paths with directories
including hidden files without extensions (#92).
file_copy() now copies files into the directory if
the target is a directory (#102).
fs_path fs_bytes and
fs_perm objects now use methods::setOldClass()
so that S4 dispatch to their base classes works as intended
(#91).
Fix allocation bug in path_exists() using
delete [] when we should have used
free().
path_abs() gains a start argument, to
specify where the absolute path should be calculated from (#87).path_ext() now returns character() if
given 0 length inputs (#89)
Fix for a memory issue reported by ASAN and valgrind.
path_expand() and path_home() now use
USERPROFILE or HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH
as the user home directory on Windows. This differs from the definition
used in path.expand() but is consistent with definitions
from other programming environments such as python and rust. This is
also more compatible with external tools such as git and ssh, both of
which put user-level files in USERPROFILE by default. To
mimic R’s (and previous) behavior there are functions
path_expand_r() and path_home_r().
Handling missing values are more consistent. In general
is_* functions always return FALSE for missing
values, path_* functions always propagate NA values (NA
inputs become NA outputs) and dir_* file_* and
link_* functions error with NA inputs.
fs functions now preserve tildes in their outputs. Previously
paths were always returned with tildes expanded. Users can use
path_expand() to expand tildes if desired.
path_norm() (#63).file_chmod() is now vectorized over both of its
arguments (#71).link_create() now fails silently if an identical link
already exists (#77).path_package() function created as an analog to
system.file() which always fails if the package or file
does not exist (#75)Tidy paths no longer expand ~.
Filesystem modification functions now error for NA inputs. (#48)
path() now returns 0 length output if given any 0
length inputs (#54).
dir_delete() now correctly expands paths
(#47).
dir_delete() now correctly deletes hidden files and
directories (#46).
link_path() now checks for an error before trying to
make a string, avoiding a crash (#43).
libuv return paths now marked as UTF-8 strings in C code, fixing encoding issues on windows. (#42)
dir_copy() now copies the directory inside the
target if the target is a directory (#51).
dir_copy() now works correctly with absolute paths
and no longer removes files when overwrite = TRUE.
