This is how benchmark results would change (along with a 95% confidence interval in relative change) if cd860bf is merged into main:

•   :ballot_box_with_check:cache_applying: 30.1ms -> 30.2ms [-2.88%, +3.96%]
•   :ballot_box_with_check:cache_recording: 826ms -> 827ms [-0.39%, +0.74%]
•   :ballot_box_with_check:without_cache: 2.06s -> 2.06s [-0.14%, +0.57%]

Further explanation regarding interpretation and methodology can be found in the documentation.

@IndrajeetPatil can you have a look? In particular to the NEWS.md for spelling mistakes etc. Once approved, I can submit.

Overall, it looks good!

The only thing that bothers me is that some of the news items start with uppercase letters, while others with lowercase. I was going to change it, but NEWS says that we should not edit it by hand. So not sure.

But this is not something that shouldn't block the release. We can punt it to a later date.

It's on CRAN! 🎉

[lorenzwalthert]

Yes. 🥳 I will sort out the git tagging, wait a few hours (so {pkgdwn} recognizes 1.8 as a released CRAN version) and then merge. I guess we could also write a blog post on tidyverse.com and summarize all new features since the last post. Are you interested to contribute to that?

[IndrajeetPatil]

Sure, would love to contribute!

[MichaelChirico]

Great work!! Thank you both!!
