tidyselect 1.2.0

New features

• New tidyselect_data_proxy() and tidyselect_data_has_predicates()
  allows tidyselect to work with custom input types (#242).

• New eval_relocate() for moving a selection. This powers dplyr::relocate()
  (#232).

Lifecycle changes

• Using all_of() outside of a tidyselect context is now deprecated (#269).
  In the future it will error to be consistent with any_of().

• Use of .data in tidyselect expressions is now deprecated to more cleanly
  separate tidy-select from data-masking. Replace .data$x with "x" and
  .data[[var]] with any_of(var) or all_of(var) (#169).

• Use of bare predicates (not wrapped in where()) and indirection (without
  using all_of()) have been formally deprecated (#317).

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• Selection language:

  • any_of() generates a more informative error if you supply too many
    arguments (#241).

  • all_of() (like any_of()) returns an integer vector to make it easier
    to combine in functions (#270, #294). It also fails when it can't find
    variables even when strict = FALSE.

  • matches() recognises and correctly uses stringr pattern objects
    (stringr::regex(), stringr::fixed(), etc) (#238). It also now
    works with named vectors (#250).

  • num_range() gains a suffix argument (#229).

  • where() is now exported, like all other select helpers (#201),
    and gives more informative errors (#236).

• eval_select() with include now preserves the order of the variables
  if they're present in the selection (#224).

• eval_select() always returns a named vector, even when renaming is not
  permitted (#220).

• eval_select() and eval_relocate() gain new allow_empty argument which
  makes it possible to forbid empty selections with allow_empty = FALSE (#252).

• eval_select(allow_rename = FALSE) no longer fails with empty
  selections (#221, @eutwt) or with predicate functions (#225). It now properly
  fails with partial renaming (#305).

• peek_var() error now generates hyperlink to docs with recent RStudio (#289).

• vars_pull() generates more informative error messages (#234, #258, #318)
  and gains error_call and error_arg arguments.

• Errors produced by tidyselect should now be more informative. Evaluation
  errors are now chained, with the child error call is set to the error_call
  argument of eval_select() and eval_rename(). We've also improved
  backtraces of base errors, and done better at propagating the root
  error_call to vctrs input checkers.

• tidyselect_verbosity is no longer used; deprecation messaging is now
  controlled by lifecycle_verbosity like all other packages (#317).
