Breaking changes

  • All functions are now prefixed with gm_*() to avoid name conflicts with
    other packages (including the base package), the previous names have been deprecated
    and will be removed in future releases. Use
    gmailr:::gm_convert_file(list.files(pattern = "[.]R$", recursive = TRUE))
    to convert all R files in the current directory to the new names. (#95)

  • New gm_auth_configure() and gm_auth() functions added conforming to the
    conventions in the gargle package.
    gmail_auth(), clear_token() and use_secret_token() are now deprecated and will be removed
    in a future release.

  • The google application bundled in previous gmailr releases has been removed,
    users will now need to create their own applications in order to use gmailr. See
    the Setup section
    in the readme for details. This was nessesary to comply with stricter enforement
    of the API terms of service.

New features

  • New gm_attachements() returns a data.frame of attachment information from a
    message or draft (#10, #24).

  • New gm_delete_draft() added to delete a draft email without sending it to the trash.

  • New gm_profile() function to return the gmail profile of the currently
    logged in user (#114)

  • New gm_scopes() function to list the available scopes, and gmailr now
    requests only the full scope by default (#90)

  • More detailed examples added to the README and the vignette, including adding
    and referencing attachments in HTML email.

Minor improvements and fixes

  • gm_body(), gm_to(), gm_from(), gm_cc(), gm_bcc() and gm_subject()
    now automatically mark their output as UTF-8 (#47, #86)

  • Quoted-printable now works with smart quotes (#77)

  • Unicode text can now be used in email headers, including the Subject and
    address fields, like To and Cc (#76, #78)

  • print.gmail_message() now only prints the parts of the message that are
    defined (#88) and now prints out the filenames of attachments (if any).
