  • The order of choices for upgrade = "ask" now puts the stable ones 'All',
    'CRAN only', 'none' first, so they always have the same numbers (#287).

  • update_submodules() now works with empty .gitmodules files (@jsilve24, #329).

  • remotes now understands the "standard" remote type, as produced by packages
    installed from CRAN using pak (#309)

  • Fix return type of install_remote() when there is a circular dependency (#225)

  • remote_package_name.github_remote() now works properly on Windows (#248)

  • install_bioc() repositories now updated for the Bioconductor 3.8 release.
    (#239)

  • install_* functions now set the R_LIBS* environment variables for
    child processes correctly on Windows (@HenrikBengtsson, #253)

  • install_* functions now support the R_REMOTES_UPGRADE environment
    variable, to set the default for the upgrade argument. See README for
    details (@kevinushey, #240).

  • install_* functions perform basic HTTP authentication using HTTP
    headers now. This fixes an issue with install_bitbucket() and private
    repos (#255).

  • install_* functions now respect the download.file.method option,
    if download_file() is used for HTTP.

  • install_* functions now use the libcurl method, if the
    download.file.method option is not set to a different one, and libcurl
    is available. Before, the wininet method was preferred on Windows.
    If you rely on the proxy configuration of wininet, then you might
    want to set the download.file.method option, or use another way to
    set up proxies, see ?download.file.

  • Remotes without package names are now unconditionally installed (#246).

  • install_github() now includes a more informative error message when the
    status code is 404, asking the user to check that they have spelled the
    repo owner and repo correctly (included in the error message), and that
    they have the required permissions to access the repository.

  • install_* fuctions (via the underlying private install function) now set
    RGL_USE_NULL="TRUE" in order to avoid errors when running headless
    and installing any package using rgl (@jefferis, ##333)
