# desc 1.4.0 * DESCRIPTION objects created with the `!new` command now omit `LazyData: true` to match new CRAN checks (#105, @malcolmbarrett) * `description$write()` now writes out the file in the correct encoding (#109). * `Authors@R` fields are now formatted differently when normalizing a DESCRIPTION file (#78). * New `description$get_list()`, `description$set_list()` and corresponding `desc_get_list()` and `desc_set_list()` values to query and create comma separated fields (#86). ## Breaking change * `desc_get_field()` gains a boolean `squish_ws` parameter to normalize whitespace within the retrieved value. It defaults to the value of `trim_ws` (`TRUE` by default). Example with desc's current DESCRIPTION: Old behaviour: ```r > desc::desc_get_field("Description") [1] "... DESCRIPTION files.\n It is intended for packages ..." ``` New behaviour: ```r > desc::desc_get_field("Description") [1] "... DESCRIPTION files. It is intended for packages ..." ``` If you want the old behaviour, just set `squish_ws = FALSE`. |
