Update maintainer e-mail address.
Fix compiler warnings (@Antonov548, #37).
utf8_width() now reports correct widths for narrow emojis (#9).utf8lite.Make output_utf8() always return TRUE on Windows, so that characters in the user’s native locale don’t get escaped by utf8_encode(). The downside of this change is that on Windows, utf8_width() reports the wrong values for characters outside the user’s locale when stdout() is redirected by knitr or another process.
When truncating long strings strings via utf8_format(), use an ellipsis that is printable in the user’s native locale ("\u2026" or“…”`).
utf8_format() with non-NULL width argument.as_utf8().output_ansi() and output_utf8() functions to test for output capabilities.Add utf8 argument to utf8_encode(), utf8_format(), utf8_print(), and utf8_width() for precise control over assumed output capabilities; defaults to the result of output_utf8().
Add ability to style backslash escapes with the escapes arguments to utf8_encode() and utf8_print(). Switch from “faint” styling to no styling by default.
Slightly reword error messages for as_utf8().
Fix (spurious) rchk warnings.
utf8_width() determining width of non-ASCII strings when LC_CTYPE=C.as_utf8() (the R version is still present).Split off functions as_utf8(), utf8_valid(), utf8_normalize(), utf8_encode(), utf8_format(), utf8_print(), and utf8_width() from corpus package.
Added special handling for Unicode grapheme clusters in formatting and width measurement functions.
Added ANSI styling to escape sequences.
Added ability to style row and column names in utf8_print().
