BREAKING CHANGE

  • Starting from version 2.0.0 pkgcache returns data frames instead
    of tibbles. While data frames and tibbles are very similar, they are
    not completely compatible. To convert the output of pkgcache to tibbles
    call the as_tibble() function on them.

    pkgcache loads the pillar package at startup, if available, and uses it
    to improve the printing of pkgcache data frames.

OTHER CHANGES

  • parse_packages() now automatically determines the type of the PACKAGES*
    file, instead of relying on file extensions.

  • pkgcache can now call back again to a PACKAGES file if PACKAGES.gz is
    not available. (This fixes a regression in pkgcache 1.3.0.)

  • pkgcache now uses HTTP 1.1 on Linux as well, because of crashes with
    HTTP/2.

  • pkgcache now supports file:///, repositories, i.e. repositories on
    the local file system.
