Note that huxtable attempts to follow semantic versioning (https://semver.org). Therefore, major version increments reflect backwards-incompatible API changes, not necessarily big changes.

huxtable 3.0.0

• Output to Excel workbooks using the openxlsx package.
• New quick_xlsx function.
• dplyr select helpers now work inside set_* column specifications: e.g. set_bold(ht, 1:3, matches(“ab”), TRUE)
• Column names can now be used for the after argument to insert_column.
• quick_* functions: when the file argument is not explicitly specified, confirm overwrites manually, or fail if called non-interactively.
• Add pointless quote marks in Description and Title… I don’t make the rules.
• Don’t apply number_format to negative exponents (e.g. 1.12e-3).
• New tidy_args argument to huxreg allows per-model customization of the call to tidy.

Breaking changes

• quick_xxx functions without an explicit file argument throw an error if called non-interactively, and prompt before overwriting files if called interactively.

huxtable 2.0.2

• Don’t apply number_format to exponents in scientific notation.
• Turn off some tests on CRAN, as they fail there but not elsewhere.

huxtable 2.0.1

• Fix quick_pdf error when moving output across filesystems.

huxtable 2.0.0

• New quick_html, quick_pdf and quick_docx functions to print table-like objects to a new document.
• to_screen only shows colnames if there are any non-zero-length column names.

Breaking changes

• number_format now applies to any number-like substrings in cells. This means you can include e.g. significance stars in a cell and still use number_format to format the content.
• If number_format is NA, numbers are unchanged.
• Default value of number_format has changed from “%5.2f” to “%5.3g”, which plays nicer with integers but may surprise you by using scientific format for large numbers.

huxtable 1.2.0

• New outer_borders argument for huxreg. This changes default behaviour slightly.
• New border argument for add_footnote to choose width of footnote’s top border.
• Added guard assertions to many exported functions.
• Bugfix: captions and colnames are wrapped in to_screen to respect max_width.

huxtable 1.1.0

• No more ugly autocreated column names.
• Allow huxtable to have invalid or empty column names in general.
• LaTeX should now be much faster on large tables.
• set_outer_borders now accepts the same row/column arguments as other set_ functions.
• Better handling in LaTeX of horizontal borders which don’t cross the entire table. (But not varying positive border widths….)
• Bugfix: flextable didn’t like huxreg’s syntactically invalid column names.
• Accept, but silently change, English spelling of ‘centre’ in align, position and caption_pos.

huxtable 1.0.0

• LaTeX implements different thicknesses for vertical and horizontal borders (but only one horizontal thickness per row).
• LaTeX border colors now collapse nicely: set colors override unset ones.
• React gracefully to lack of p values in huxreg.
• New set_outer_borders function to set borders round a rectangle of cells.
• to_screen and to_md now respect wrap and col_widths properties.
• Screen and markdown wrap respect word boundaries.
• to_screen and to_md gain a min_width argument; to_md gains a logical header argument; to_screen gains a compact argument replacing blank = NULL.
• On screen colour and bold support, if the crayon package is installed. New huxtable.color_screen option.
• Move from ReporteRs to officer and flextable. No more RJava horror.
• New error_format argument to huxreg for flexible control over uncertainty estimates.
• Infrastructure improvements: slightly less ugly code in screen.R and LaTeX.R.

Breaking changes

• Removed options collapse, borders, blank and colname_color from to_screen/print_screen.
• as_FlexTable is deprecated and calls as_flextable with a warning. header_rows and footer_rows arguments are ignored. If you need this feature, tell me.
• HTML border sizes are now set in points, not pixels.
• In huxreg:
• ci_level is NULL by default. Set it to a number to calculate confidence intervals.
• error_style is deprecated with a warning in favour of error_format.
• Use {stars} not %stars% to display significance levels in the note argument.
• borders becomes a number specifying border width. Set to 0 for no borders.

huxtable 0.3.1

• New convenience functions insert_row and insert_column.
• latex_float property allows you to change positioning in LaTeX.
• (Semantic versioning fail: this should have been 0.4.0.)

huxtable 0.3.0

• New borders argument for huxreg, gives borders in sensible places.
• Allow more flexible caption positioning with caption_pos.
• New set_default_properties function to set default properties for new huxtables.
• Fix compatibility with dplyr 0.6.0.

huxtable 0.2.2

• Fix a bug that could lead to wrong significance stars in huxreg.

huxtable 0.2.1

• Compatibility with dplyr 0.6.0.
• Use ~ for decimal padding in LaTeX.

huxtable 0.2.0

• New huxreg function to convert a list of models to a huxtable.
• New set_* interface allowing column ranges, expressions a la subset, and filling in values by row.
• Replacement methods $<-, [<- and [[<- now work better.
• New function set_cell_properties to set multiple properties on cells.
• evens, odds, everywhere, every(n, from), final(n), where(cond): convenience functions to select rows, columns and cells.
• Export to Word/Powerpoint via ReporteRs.
• Huxtable now supports dplyr verbs like filter and select.
• Exported function guess_knitr_output_format.
• Ability to set border colors.
• Prevent overlapping row/colspans.
• Expanded introduction and new vignette for huxreg.
• Numerous bugs have been fixed and replaced with new, more advanced bugs.

Breaking changes

• theme_minimal has been renamed theme_basic to avoid a name clash with ggplot2.

huxtable 0.1.0

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
• First CRAN release.
