Forthcoming release of ggplot2 and ggformula

[paleolimbot]

We are contacting you because you are the maintainer of ggformula, which imports ggplot2 and uses vdiffr to manage visual test cases. The upcoming release of ggplot2 includes several improvements to plot rendering, including the ability to specify lineend and linejoin in geom_rect() and geom_tile(), and improved rendering of text. These improvements will result in subtle changes to your vdiffr dopplegangers when the new version is released.

Because vdiffr test cases do not run on CRAN by default, your CRAN checks will still pass. However, we suggest updating your visual test cases with the new version of ggplot2 as soon as possible to avoid confusion. You can install the development version of ggplot2 using remotes::install_github("tidyverse/ggplot2").

If you have any questions, let me know!

@paleolimbot Thanks for the heads up. I have some ggformula maintenance on my summer schedule (and a student to assist) starting next week, so the timing is good.

[paleolimbot]

Glad to hear it!

@paleolimbot, any update on an ETA for the CRAN release of ggplot2 version 3.2?

[paleolimbot]

It's on CRAN now!

[rpruim]

Thanks. It wasn't on my mirror earlier today but I see it now.

vdiffr tests have been updated (and additional tests added) using the github version of ggplot2. Since ggplot2 is now on CRAN, I'm closing this.
