winning duende

summary

• Destructuring objects with multiple classes will no longer raise a
  warning. (#35)

left-hand side of darkness

summary

• The left-hand side may now contain calls to [[, [, and $ allowing
  assignment of parts of objects. The parent object must already
  exist, otherwise an error is raised. Thank you to @rafaqz for the suggestion. (#32)

to the right, to the right

summary

• The bracket and colon syntax has been completely removed, users will now see
  an "unexpected call {" error message when attempting to use the old syntax.
  Please use the c() name structure syntax.

• A %->% operator has been added. The right operator performs the same
  operation as %<-% with the name structure on the right-hand side and
  the values to assign on the left-hand side. This is particularly useful as
  the left operator did not work well with %>% chains.

• = may be used to specify the default value of a variable. A default value
  is used when there are an insufficient number of values.

simpler, lighter, stronger

summary

• The bracket and colon syntax has been deprecated in favor of a lighter syntax.
  Documentation has been updated accordingly, see docs for more
  information about the new syntax. Using the old syntax will raise a warning
  and will be removed in future versions of zeallot. Thank you to @hadley for
  the suggestion. (#21)
• %<-% can now be used for regular assignment. (#17)
• ... can now be used to skip multiple values without assigning those values
  and is now recommended over the previously suggested ..... (#18)
• massign() is no longer exported.

• c(a, b) %<-% c(0, 1)

• c(a, c(b, d)) %<-% data.frame(x = 1:5, y = 6:10, z = 11:15)

bug fixes

• Numerics on left-hand side are no longer unintentionally quoted and will now
  raise an error. (#20)
• Language objects on left-hand side are no longer treated as symbols and will
  now raise an error. (#20)
