Changes in version 0.3.0                        

Bug fixes

  - manifest() no longer leaks the parent R session's library/home
    environment into the target R subprocess. Previously processx
    inherited R_LIBS_USER (and R_HOME) from the R running courieR, so
    every probed installation reported the parent's library — making
    distinct R versions appear to share one library and compare as 100%
    identical. The subprocess now strips R_LIBS_USER, R_LIBS,
    R_LIBS_SITE, and R_HOME while still reading the target R's own
    .Renviron/.Rprofile.
  - Dashboard: fixed "Operation not allowed without an active reactive
    context" on startup, caused by reading a reactiveVal outside a
    reactive consumer in the sync log helper (now wrapped in isolate()).

Dashboard UX

  - Renamed the core actions to match courieR's shipping vocabulary:
    Scout (detect installations), Inventory (compare libraries), and
    Ship (transfer packages). The main tab is now Dispatch, and the
    Advanced tabs are Restock, Depot, Delivery Receipt, Route, and
    Manifest.
  - Detection is no longer automatic on startup; click Scout to scan. A
    Scout → Inventory → Ship workflow note appears in the control panel,
    and the result is shared across tabs.
  - The logo twinkles while the app is busy (tied to Shiny's busy/idle
    events).
  - Comparison table: per-column filters (search boxes for
    package/versions, a dropdown for status), pagination grouped
    compactly below the table, and the global search box removed. The
    log panel sits beside the comparison, spanning its full height.
  - Transfer mode options shortened (Online reinstall / Offline copy /
    Preserve version) with a live description of the selected mode.
  - find_routes() is called once per scan and shared across modules
    instead of being re-run by each, reducing startup/detection time.

                        Changes in version 0.2.3                        

New features

  - ship() and migrate() gain a mode argument:
      - "online" (default) — reinstall packages via pak from
        CRAN/GitHub/Bioconductor.
      - "offline" — copy package directories by file; packages with no
        valid source path are skipped and reported.
      - "preserve" — copy first to keep exact versions; fall back to a
        pinned pak spec (pkg@version) for packages that cannot be
        copied. The dashboard Sync tab exposes the same three options as
        a dropdown.
  - migrate(from, to) — one-call CLI migration. Pass version strings
    ("4.5.2", "4.6.0") or full Rscript paths; courieR resolves the
    installations and runs ship() automatically.
  - hub() — short alias for open_hub(). Run hub() to launch the
    dashboard with less typing.
  - library(courieR) now prints the version number and a reminder to run
    hub() or see ?ship.
  - ship() gains a log_callback argument for real-time progress messages
    from the pak subprocess, including a notice when first-time metadata
    loading may take 1–2 minutes.

Bug fixes

  - manifest() now reliably excludes base and recommended packages on
    Windows. The previous path comparison was case-sensitive and could
    let packages like translations slip through into a sync plan,
    causing a pak error. The filter now uses case-insensitive path
    comparison and a name-based guard via installed.packages(priority =
    c("base", "recommended")).

Performance & UX

  - find_routes() per-candidate subprocess timeout reduced from 5 s to 3
    s, shortening detection time when multiple R versions are installed.
  - Sync dashboard: replaced the floating withProgress() modal with an
    inline Bootstrap progress bar inside the log pane. Log lines now
    append to the DOM immediately, removing the need for
    shiny:::flushReact().
  - Sync dashboard: detection phase shows a Bootstrap info alert while
    scanning and records "Detection complete: found N installation(s)."
    in the sync log.

                 Changes in version 0.2.2 (2026-06-04)                  

  - CRAN resubmission addressing reviewer feedback.

                        Changes in version 0.2.1                        

  - Fixed correctness bugs identified during CRAN review.
  - Added centralised error reporting in the Shiny module.

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2026-05-30)                  

  - CRAN readiness: hardened documentation, CRAN-safe examples, and CI
    workflow.
  - ship() gains a @section Safety: block documenting subprocess and
    library write behavior.
  - manifest() now uses deparse() for library path quoting, fixing edge
    cases with special characters.
  - manifest() CSV fallback parsing now handles multi-line CSV output
    correctly.
  - Added cran-comments.md and .github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml.
  - DESCRIPTION title simplified; version bumped.

                        Changes in version 0.1.0                        

  - Initial release.
  - find_routes() detects R installations on Windows, macOS, and Linux,
    including user-local installs.
  - manifest() scans installed packages from any R installation via
    subprocess.
  - inventory() compares two package libraries and reports missing,
    outdated, and newer packages.
  - ship() migrates packages from one R installation to another using
    pak.
  - open_hub() launches a Shiny dashboard for point-and-click migration.
