Version 1.0.0

R.nvim started as a translation of Vim-R, and this version 1.0.0 symbolically marks the completion of the transition process from VimScript to Lua. While the features of Vim-R were recreated, many new features were added, as (not exhaustively) detailed below.

Removed features

• reStructuredText support (no longer seems to be widely used).

• Legacy omni-completion (we now recommend the built-in LSP).

• Highlighting functions from .GlobalEnv (difficult to make compatible with
  tree-sitter + LSP highlighting).

• The echo argument for functions that send code to R console has been
  removed. Users can still set the source_args to define the arguments that
  will be passed to base::source() and include the argument echo=TRUE.
  max_lines_to_paste can now be used to set the number of lines which can be
  sent directly to the R Console without saving the code in a temporary file.

• Rnoweb chunk headers with options are not supported by tree-sitter. You have
  to write the options at the top of the code block after the #| comment
  strings as is common in Quarto documents. See
  execution-options.

• Integration with Rapp on macOS was removed (option applescript).

Changes

• <M--> (i.e. Alt + -) is now used to insert <-. See the documentation
  on how to create custom key bindings.

• R_source and after_R_start have been replaced with more powerful hook
  options.

• When running R in the Neovim built-in terminal or in a WezTerm split pane,
  the R.nvim config option rconsole_pos should be used to define the
  position of the R Console. The Vim options 'splitright' and 'splitbelow' are
  ignored.

• nvimpager, which controls how R documentation is displayed, now has
  possible options "split_h", "split_v", "tab", "float" (not
  implemented yet), and "no".

• open_pdf replaces openpdf and openhtml; see the documentation for
  details.

• setwd replaces nvim_wd. The new default value is "no".

• Only strings are valid values for external_term.

• config_tmux replaces notmuxconf. The new default value is true.

• :RFormat now requires {styler} to be installed; {formatR} is no longer
  supported.

• Rout_options replaces Rout_more_colors.

• view_df is a table replacing the options csv_app,
  csv_delim, and df_viewer. The commands to see a data.frame
  or matrix in a split window were eliminated. See the documentation
  on view_df for alternative ways of getting similar results.

• rmdchunk and rnowebchunk were removed. In Insert mode, press <M-r> to
  insert chunks of R code in Rmd, Quarto or Rnoweb. See the documentation on
  how to create custom key bindings.

• In a Quarto or RMarkdown document, when the cursor is over a chunk header
  and you try to send the current line and go to the next line, the whole
  chunk is sent to R and the cursor jumps to the next chunk of either R or
  Python code.

• Markdown documents are treated as RMarkdown if "markdown" is in
  vim.g.R_filetypes.

New features

New filetype support

• Rtypst (.Rtyp) documents are now supported: Typst files with R code chunks,
  using the same chunk delimiters as Rmd and Quarto. Requires the typst
  tree-sitter parser.

New commands

• :RMapsDesc displays the list of key bindings followed by short
  descriptions.

• :RConfigShow displays the list of configuration options and their current
  values.

New keybindings

• <LocalLeader>sc sends a piped chain of commands.

• <LocalLeader>ip installs missing packages detected by
  languageserver.

• <LocalLeader>sp splits a filepath under the cursor into individual
  components concatenated using either "here::here" (the default),
  "here", "file.path", "fs::path", or "path", depending on how
  path_split_fun is set. Requires
  tree-sitter parsers to be installed.

• <LocalLeader>, inserts a pipe operator (|>).

New options

• remote_compl_dir and remote_R_host control how to access a remote R from
  a local Neovim.

• auto_quit can be configured to automatically quit R when you quit Neovim.

• hook replaces R_after_start and R_after_ob_open.

• rproj_prioritise can be configured to control how .Rproj files change the
  behaviour of R.nvim. Amongst other things, this may affect whether
  <LocalLeader>, inserts |> or %>%.

• objbr_mappings can be configured to run R commands on objects in the
  current session.

• pipe_version allow you to choose between "native" or "magrittr".

• external_term now accepts as valid values "wezterm_split" and
  "kitty_split", not requiring Tmux to split the terminal window.
  It's possible to WezTerm to run R in an external
  terminal emulator on Windows. Hence, the values "wezterm" and
  "wezterm_split" are valid on Linux, macOS and Windows.

• objbr_mappings adds custom keymap to the Object Browser.

• objbr_placeholder defines the string to substitute for with objects.

• R-language-server sets options for R.nvim's built-in language server.

• max_paste_lines sets the maximum number of lines to be pasted into R
  Console.

• debug enables support for debugging functions.

• chunk_langs changes configuration for code chunk languages.
