fs 1.4.1

• Fix compilation on Solaris.

fs 1.3.2

• fs now passes along CPPFLAGS during compilation of libuv, fixing an issue that could
  prevent compilation from source on macOS Catalina. (@kevinushey, #229)

• fs now compiles on alpine linux (#210)

• dir_create() now works with absolute paths and recurse = FALSE (#204).

• dir_tree() now works with paths that need tilde expansion (@dmurdoch, @jennybc, #203).

• file_info() now returns file sizes with the proper 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).

fs 1.3.1

• 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_create() now works with absolute paths and recurse = FALSE (#204).

fs 1.3.0

Breaking changes

• 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.

New features

• dir_copy() gains a overwrite argument, to overwrite a given directory
  (@pasipasi123, #193)

Minor improvements and fixes

• 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).

• path_file(), path_dir() and path_ext() now return normal character
  vectors rather than tidy paths (#194).

• path_package() now works with paths in development packages automatically
  (#175).

• tests now pass successfully when run in strict Latin-1 locale

fs 1.2.7

New features

• file_size() function added as a helper for file_info("file")$size (#171)

• is_file_empty() function added to test for empty 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 comparision vignette to quickly compare base R, fs and shell
  alterantives (@xvrdm, #168).

Minor improvements and fixes

• 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).

fs v1.2.6

• 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, r-lib/usethis#438).

• Fix for a double free when using warn = TRUE (#132)

fs v1.2.3

Features

• 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).

Bugfixes

• 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 v1.2.2

Features

• fs no longer needs a C++11 compiler, it now works with compilers which
  support only C++03 (#90).

Bugfixes

• 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().

fs v1.2.1

Features

• path_abs() gains a start argument, to specify where the absolute path
  should be calculated from (#87).

Bugfixes

• path_ext() now returns character() if given 0 length inputs (#89)

• Fix for a memory issue reported by ASAN and valgrind.

fs 1.2.0

Breaking changes

• 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.

Bugfixes

• Fix crash when a files user or group id did not exist in the respective
  database (#84, #58)
• Fix home expansion on systems without readline (#60).
• Fix propagation of NA values in path_norm() (#63).

Features

• 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)
