# shiny 1.13.0

## New features

* Shiny now supports interactive breakpoints when used with Ark (e.g. in Positron). (#4352)

## Bug fixes and minor improvements

* Stack traces from render functions (e.g., `renderPlot()`, `renderDataTable()`) now hide internal Shiny rendering pipeline frames, making error messages cleaner and more focused on user code. (#4358)

* Fixed an issue with `actionLink()` that extended the link underline to whitespace around the text. (#4348)


# shiny 1.12.1

## New features

* `withOtelCollect()` and `localOtelCollect()` temporarily control
  OpenTelemetry collection levels during reactive expression creation,
  allowing you to enable or disable telemetry collection for specific modules
  or sections of code. (#4333)

## Bug fixes and minor improvements

* OpenTelemetry code attributes now include both the preferred attribute names
  (`code.file.path`, `code.line.number`, `code.column.number`) and the
  deprecated names (`code.filepath`, `code.lineno`, `code.column`) to follow
  OpenTelemetry semantic conventions while maintaining backward compatibility.
  The deprecated names will be removed in a future release after Logfire
  supports the preferred names. (#4325)

* `ExtendedTask` now captures the OpenTelemetry recording state at
  initialization time rather than at invocation time, ensuring consistent span
  recording behavior regardless of runtime configuration changes. (#4334)

* Timer tests are now skipped on CRAN. (#4327)

# shiny 1.12.0

## OpenTelemetry support

* Shiny now supports [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) via
  [`{otel}`](https://otel.r-lib.org/index.html). By default, if
  `otel::is_tracing_enabled()` returns `TRUE`, then `{shiny}` records all
  OpenTelemetry spans. See [`{otelsdk}`'s Collecting Telemetry
  Data](https://otelsdk.r-lib.org/reference/collecting.html) for more details
  on configuring OpenTelemetry. (#4269, #4300)

* Supported values for `options(shiny.otel.collect)` (or
  `Sys.getenv("SHINY_OTEL_COLLECT")`):
  * `"none"` - No Shiny OpenTelemetry tracing.
  * `"session"` - Adds session start/end spans.
  * `"reactive_update"` - Spans for any synchronous/asynchronous reactive
    update. (Includes `"session"` features).
  * `"reactivity"` - Spans for all reactive expressions. (Includes
    `"reactive_update"` features).
  * `"all"` [default] - All Shiny OpenTelemetry tracing. Currently equivalent
    to `"reactivity"`.

* OpenTelemetry spans are recorded for:
  * `session_start`: Wraps the calling of the `server()` function. Also
    contains HTTP request within the attributes.
  * `session_end`: Wraps the calling of the `onSessionEnded()` handlers.
  * `reactive_update`: Signals the start of when Shiny knows something is to
    be calculated. This span ends when there are no more reactive updates
    (promises or synchronous) to be calculated.
  * `reactive`, `observe`, `output`: Captures the calculation (including any
    async promise chains) of a reactive expression (`reactive()`), an observer
    (`observe()`), or an output render function (`render*()`).
  * `reactive debounce`, `reactive throttle`: Captures the calculation
    (including any async promise chains) of a `debounce()`d or `throttle()`d
    reactive expression.
  * `reactiveFileReader`, `reactivePoll`: Captures the calculation
    (including any async promise chains) of a `reactiveFileReader()` or
    `reactivePoll()`.
  * `ExtendedTask`: Captures the calculation (including any async promise
    chains) of an `ExtendedTask`.

* OpenTelemetry Logs are recorded for:
  * `Set reactiveVal <name>` - When a `reactiveVal()` is set
  * `Set reactiveValues <name>$<key>` - When a `reactiveValues()` element is
    set
  * Fatal or unhandled errors - When an error occurs that causes the session
    to end, or when an unhandled error occurs in a reactive context. Contains
    the error within the attributes. To unsanitize the error message being
    collected, set `options(shiny.otel.sanitize.errors = FALSE)`.
  * `Set ExtendedTask <name> <value>` - When an `ExtendedTask`'s respective
    reactive value (e.g., `status`, `value`, and `error`) is set.
  * `<ExtendedTask name> add to queue` - When an `ExtendedTask` is added to
    the task queue.

* All OpenTelemetry logs and spans will contain a `session.id` attribute
  containing the active session ID.

## New features

* `updateActionButton()` and `updateActionLink()` now accept values other than
  `shiny::icon()` for the `icon` argument (e.g., `fontawesome::fa()`,
  `bsicons::bs_icon()`, etc). (#4249)

## Bug fixes and minor improvements

* Showcase mode now uses server-side markdown rendering with the
  `{commonmark}` package, providing support for GitHub Flavored Markdown
  features (tables, strikethrough, autolinks, task lists). While most existing
  README.md files should continue to work as expected, some minor rendering
  differences may occur due to the change in markdown processor. (#4202,
  #4201)

* `debounce()`, `reactiveFileReader()`, `reactivePoll()`, `reactiveValues()`,
  and `throttle()` now attempt to retrieve the assigned name for the default
  label if the srcref is available. If a value cannot easily be produced, a
  default label is used instead. (#4269, #4300)

* The default label for items described below will now attempt to retrieve the
  assigned name if the srcref is available. If a value can not easily be
  produced, a default label will be used instead. This should improve the
  OpenTelemetry span labels and the reactlog experience. (#4269, #4300)
  * `reactiveValues()`, `reactivePoll()`, `reactiveFileReader()`, `debounce()`,
    `throttle()`, `observe()`
  * Combinations of `bindEvent()` and `reactive()` / `observe()`
  * Combination of `bindCache()` and `reactive()`

* `updateActionButton()` and `updateActionLink()` now correctly render HTML
  content passed to the `label` argument. (#4249)

* `updateSelectizeInput()` no longer creates multiple remove buttons when
  `options = list(plugins="remove_button")` is used. (#4275)

* `dateRangeInput()`/`updateDateRangeInput()` now correctly considers the time
  zones of date-time objects (POSIXct) passed to the `start`, `end`, `min` and
  `max` arguments. (thanks @ismirsehregal, #4318)

## Breaking changes

* The return value of `actionButton()` and `actionLink()` now wraps `label`
  and `icon` in an additional HTML container element. This allows
  `updateActionButton()` and `updateActionLink()` to distinguish between the
  `label` and `icon` when making updates, and allows spacing between `label`
  and `icon` to be more easily customized via CSS.

# shiny 1.11.1

This is a patch release primarily for addressing the bugs introduced in v1.11.0.

## Bug fixes

* Fixed an issue where `InputBinding` implementations that don't pass a value to their `subscribe` callback were no longer notifying Shiny of input changes. (#4243)

* `updateActionButton()` and `updateActionLink()` once again handle `label` updates correctly. (#4245)

# shiny 1.11.0

## Improvements

* When auto-reload is enabled, Shiny now reloads the entire app when support files, like Shiny modules, additional script files, or web assets, change. To enable auto-reload, call `devmode(TRUE)` to enable Shiny's developer mode, or set `options(shiny.autoreload = TRUE)` to specifically enable auto-reload. You can choose which files are watched for changes with the `shiny.autoreload.pattern` option. (#4184)

* When busy indicators are enabled (i.e., `useBusyIndicators()`), Shiny now:
    * Shows a spinner on recalculating htmlwidgets that have previously rendered an error (including `req()` and `validate()`). (#4172)
    * Shows a spinner on `tableOutput()`. (#4172)
    * Places a minimum height on recalculating outputs so that the spinner is always visible. (#4172)

* Shiny now uses `{cli}` instead of `{crayon}` for rich log messages. (thanks @olivroy, #4170)

* `renderPlot()` was updated to accommodate changes in ggplot2 v4.0.0. (#4226)

* When adding the new tab via `insertTab()` or `bslib::nav_insert()`, the underlying JavaScript no longer renders content twice. (#4179)

## New features

* `textInput()`, `textAreaInput()`, `numericInput()` and `passwordInput()` all gain an `updateOn` option. `updateOn = "change"` is the default and previous behavior, where the input value updates immediately whenever the value changes. With `updateOn = "blur"`, the input value will update only when the text input loses focus or when the user presses Enter (or Cmd/Ctrl + Enter for `textAreaInput()`). (#4183)

* `textAreaInput()` gains a `autoresize` option, which automatically resizes the text area to fit its content. (#4210)

* The family of `update*Input()` functions can now render HTML content passed to the `label` argument (e.g., `updateInputText(label = tags$b("New label"))`). (#3996)

* `ExtendedTask` now catches synchronous values and errors and returns them via `$result()`. Previously, the extended task function was required to always return a promise. This change makes it easier to use `ExtendedTask` with a function that may return early or do some synchronous work before returning a promise. (#4225)

* The `callback` argument of Shiny.js' `InputBinding.subscribe()` method gains support for a value of `"event"`. This makes it possible for an input binding to use event priority when updating the value (i.e., send immediately and always resend, even if the value hasn't changed). (#4211)

## Changes

* Shiny no longer suspends input changes when _any_ `<input type="submit">` or `<button type="submit">` is on the page. Instead, it now only suspends when a `submitButton()` is present. If you have reason for creating a submit button from custom HTML, add a CSS class of `shiny-submit-button` to the button. (#4209)

* Shiny's JavaScript assets are now compiled to ES2021 instead of ES5. (#4066)

* Upgraded jQuery from 3.6.0 to 3.7.1. (#3969)

* Updated jQuery UI from 1.13.2 to 1.14.1. (#4175)

## Bug fixes

* The Shiny Client Console (enabled with `shiny::devmode()`) no longer displays duplicate warning or error message. (#4177)

* Synchronous errors that occur inside a `ExtendedTask` no longer stop the session. (#4225)

* Calling `removeModal()` immediately after `showModal()` no longer fails to remove the modal (this would sometimes happen if the remove message was received while the modal was in the process of being revealed). (#4173)

* `runExample("08_html")` now (correctly) requests to 'shiny.min.css', eliminating a network request failure. (#4220)

* `shiny::shinyAppTemplate()` no longer errors without a call to `library(shiny)`. (#3870)

# shiny 1.10.0

## New features and improvements

* When busy indicators are enabled (i.e., `useBusyIndicators()` is in the UI), Shiny now:
    * Shows the pulse indicator when dynamic UI elements are recalculating and no other spinners are visible in the app. (#4137)
    * Makes the pulse indicator slightly smaller by default and improves its appearance to better blend with any background. (#4122)

* Improve collection of deep stack traces (stack traces that are tracked across steps in an async promise chain) with `{coro}` async generators such as `{elmer}` chat streams. Previously, Shiny treated each iteration of an async generator as a distinct deep stack, leading to pathologically long stack traces; now, Shiny only keeps/prints unique deep stack trace, discarding duplicates. (#4156)

* Added an example to the `ExtendedTask` documentation. (@daattali #4087)

## Bug fixes

* Fixed a bug in `conditionalPanel()` that would cause the panel to repeatedly show/hide itself when the provided condition was not boolean. (@kamilzyla, #4127)

* Fixed a bug with `sliderInput()` when used as a range slider that made it impossible to change the slider value when both handles were at the maximum value. (#4131)

* `dateInput()` and `dateRangeInput()` no longer send immediate updates to the server when the user is typing a date input. Instead, it waits until the user presses Enter or clicks out of the field to send the update, avoiding spurious and incorrect date values. Note that an update is still sent immediately when the field is cleared. (#3664)

* Fixed a bug in `onBookmark()` hook that caused elements to not be excluded from URL bookmarking. (#3762)

* Fixed a bug with stack trace capturing that caused reactives with very long async promise chains (hundreds/thousands of steps) to become extremely slow. Chains this long are unlikely to be written by hand, but `{coro}` async generators and `{elmer}` async streaming were easily creating problematically long chains. (#4155)

* Duplicate input and output IDs -- e.g. using `"debug"` for two inputs or two outputs -- or shared IDs -- e.g. using `"debug"` as the `inputId` for an input and an output -- now result in a console warning message, but not an error. When `devmode()` is enabled, an informative message is shown in the Shiny Client Console. We recommend all Shiny devs enable `devmode()` when developing Shiny apps locally. (#4101)

* Updating the choices of a `selectizeInput()` via `updateSelectizeInput()` with `server = TRUE` no longer retains the selected choice as a deselected option if the current value is not part of the new choices. (@dvg-p4 #4142)

* Fixed a bug where stack traces from `observeEvent()` were being stripped of stack frames too aggressively. (#4163)

# shiny 1.9.1

## Bug fixes

* Fixed a bug introduced in v1.9.0 where the boundaries of hover/click/brush regions on plots were being incorrectly scaled when browser zoom was used. (#4111)

# shiny 1.9.0

## New busy indication feature

Add the new `useBusyIndicators()` function to any UI definition to:
  1. Add a spinner overlay on calculating/recalculating outputs.
  2. Show a page-level pulsing banner when Shiny is busy calculating something (e.g., a download, side-effect, etc), but no calculating/recalculating outputs are visible.

In a future version of Shiny, busy indication will be enabled by default, so we encourage you to try it out now, provide feedback, and report any issues.

In addition, various properties of the spinners and pulse can be customized with `busyIndicatorOptions()`. For more details, see `?busyIndicatorOptions`. (#4040, #4104)

## New features and improvements

* The client-side TypeScript code for Shiny has been refactored so that the `Shiny` object is now an instance of class `ShinyClass`. (#4063)

* In TypeScript, the `Shiny` object has a new property `initializedPromise`, which is a Promise-like object that can be `await`ed or chained with `.then()`. This Promise-like object corresponds to the `shiny:sessioninitialized` JavaScript event, but is easier to use because it can be used both before and after the events have occurred. (#4063)

* Output bindings now include the `.recalculating` CSS class when they are first bound, up until the first render. This makes it possible/easier to show progress indication when the output is calculating for the first time. (#4039)

* A new `shiny.client_devmode` option controls client-side devmode features, in particular the client-side error console introduced in shiny 1.8.1, independently of the R-side features of `shiny::devmode()`. This usage is primarily intended for automatic use in Shinylive. (#4073)

* Added function `reactlogAddMark()` to programmatically add _mark_ed locations in the reactlog log without the requirement of keyboard bindings during an idle reactive moment. (#4103)

## Bug fixes

* `downloadButton()` and `downloadLink()` are now disabled up until they are fully initialized. This prevents the user from clicking the button/link before the download is ready. (#4041)

* Output bindings that are removed, invalidated, then inserted again (while invalidated) now correctly include the `.recalculating` CSS class. (#4039)

* Fixed a recent issue with `uiOutput()` and `conditionalPanel()` not properly lower opacity when recalculation (in a Bootstrap 5 context). (#4027)

* Image outputs that were scaled by CSS had certain regions that were unresponsive to hover/click/brush handlers. (#3234)

# shiny 1.8.1.1

* In v1.8.1, shiny.js starting throwing an error when input/output bindings have duplicate IDs. This error is now only thrown when `shiny::devmode(TRUE)` is enabled, so the issue is still made discoverable through the JS error console, but avoids unnecessarily breaking apps that happen to work with duplicate IDs. (#4019)

# shiny 1.8.1

## New features and improvements

* Added `ExtendedTask`, a new simple way to launch long-running asynchronous tasks that are truly non-blocking. That is, even _within_ a session, an `ExtendedTask` won't block the main thread from flushing the reactive graph (i.e., UI updates won't be blocked). `ExtendedTask` pairs nicely with new `bslib::input_task_button()` and `bslib::bind_task_button()` functions, which help give user feedback and prevent extra button clicks. (#3958)

* Added a JavaScript error dialog, reporting errors that previously were only discoverable by opening the browser's devtools open. Since this dialog is mainly useful for debugging and development, it must be enabled with `shiny::devmode()`. (#3931)

* `runExample()` now uses the `{bslib}` package to generate a better looking result. It also gains a `package` argument so that other packages can leverage this same function to run Shiny app examples. For more, see `?runExample`. (#3963, #4005)

* Added `onUnhandledError()` to register a function that will be called when an unhandled error occurs in a Shiny app. Note that this handler doesn't stop the error or prevent the session from closing, but it can be used to log the error or to clean up session-specific resources. (thanks @JohnCoene, #3993)

## Changes

* `renderDataTable()`/`dataTableOutput()` are officially deprecated in favor of [their `{DT}` equivalents](https://rstudio.github.io/DT/shiny.html). Migrating to `{DT}`, in most cases, just requires changing `renderDataTable()` to `DT::renderDT()` and `dataTableOutput()` to `DT::DTOutput()`. Also, to promote migration, when a recent version of `{DT}` is available, `renderDataTable()`/`dataTableOutput()` now automatically use their `{DT}` equivalent (and provide a message that they are doing so). If this happens to degrade an existing app, set `options(shiny.legacy.datatable = TRUE)` to get the old (i.e., non-`{DT}`) implementation. (#3998)

* Both `conditionalPanel()` and `uiOutput()` are now styled with `display: contents` by default in Shiny apps that use Bootstrap 5. This means that the elements they contain are positioned as if they were direct children of the parent container holding the `conditionalPanel()` or `uiOutput()`. This is probably what most users intend when they use these functions, but it may break apps that applied styles directly to the container elements created by these two functions. In that case, you may include CSS rules to set `display: block` for the `.shiny-panel-conditional` or `.shiny-html-output` classes. (#3957, #3960)

## Bug fixes

* Notifications are now constrained to the width of the viewport for window widths smaller the default notification panel size. (#3949)

* Fixed #2392: `downloadButton()` now visibly returns its HTML tag so that it renders correctly in R Markdown and Quarto output. (Thanks to @fennovj, #2672)

* Calling `updateSelectizeInput()` with `choices` and `selected` now clears the current selection before updating the choices and selected value. (#3967)

* Loading a Shiny app in a package-like directory will no longer warn if autoloading is disabled by the presence of an `R/_disable_autoload.R` file. (Thanks to @krlmlr and @tanho63, #3513)

# shiny 1.8.0

## Breaking changes

* Closed #3899: The JS function `Shiny.bindAll()` is now asynchronous. This change is driven by the recent push toward making dynamic UI rendering asynchronous, which is necessary for [shinylive](https://shinylive.io/r) (and should've happened when it was first introduced in Shiny v1.7.5). The vast majority of existing `Shiny.bindAll()` uses should continue to work as before, but some cases may break if downstream code relies on it being synchronous (i.e., blocking the main thread). In this case, consider placing any downstream code in a `.then()` callback (or `await` the result in a `async` function). (#3929)
  * Since `renderContent()` calls `bindAll()` (after it inserts content), it now returns a `Promise<void>` instead of `void`, which can be useful if downstream code needs to wait for the binding to complete.

## New features and improvements

* Updated `selectizeInput()`'s selectize.js dependency from v0.12.4 to v0.15.2. In addition to many bug fixes and improvements, this update also adds several new [plugin options](https://selectize.dev/docs/demos/plugins). (#3875)

* Shiny's CSS styling (for things like `showNotification()`, `withProgress()`, `inputPanel()`, etc.), has been updated with `{bslib}`'s upcoming CSS-only dark mode feature in mind. (#3882, #3914)

* Default styles for `showNotification()` were tweaked slightly to improve accessibility, sizing, and padding. (#3913)

* Shiny inputs and `{htmlwidgets}` are no longer treated as draggable inside of `absolutePanel()`/`fixedPanel()` with `draggable = TRUE`. As a result, interactions like zooming and panning now work as expected with widgets like `{plotly}` and `{leaflet}` when they appear in a draggable panel. (#3752, #3933)

* For `InputBinding`s, the `.receiveMessage()` method can now be asynchronous or synchronous (previously it could only be synchronous). (#3930)

## Bug fixes

* `fileInput()` no longer has unwanted round corners applied to the `buttonLabel`. (#3879)

* Fixed #3898: `wrapFunctionLabel()` no longer throws an error if the `name` is longer than 10000 bytes. (#3903)

# shiny 1.7.5.1

## Bug fixes

* On r-devel (R > 4.3.1), `isTruthy(NULL)` now returns `FALSE` (as it does with older versions of R). (#3906)

# shiny 1.7.5

## Possibly breaking changes

* For `reactiveValues()` objects, whenever the `$names()` or `$values()` methods are called, the keys are now returned in the order that they were inserted. (#3774)

* The value provided to `options(shiny.json.digits)` is now interpreted as number of _digits after the decimal_ instead of _significant digits_. To treat the value as significant digits, wrap it in `I()` (e.g., `options(shiny.json.digits = I(4))`). This new default behavior not only helps with reducing digits in testing snapshots, but is also more consistent with `{jsonlite}`'s default behavior. (#3819)

## New features and improvements

* Closed #789: Dynamic UI is now rendered asynchronously, thanks in part to the newly exported `Shiny.renderDependenciesAsync()`, `Shiny.renderHtmlAsync()`, and `Shiny.renderContentAsync()`. Importantly, this means `<script>` tags are now loaded asynchronously (the old way used `XMLHttpRequest`, which is synchronous). In addition, `Shiny` now manages a queue of async tasks (exposed via `Shiny.shinyapp.taskQueue`) so that order of execution is preserved. (#3666)

* Fixes #3840: `updateSliderInput()` now warns when attempting to set invalid `min`, `max`, or `value` values. Sending an invalid update message to an input no longer causes other update messages to fail. (#3843)

* `sliderInput()` now has a larger target area for clicking or tapping on the slider handle or range. (#3859)

* Closed #2956: Component authors can now prevent Shiny from creating an input binding on specific elements by adding the `data-shiny-no-bind-input` attribute to the element. The attribute may have any or no value; its presence will prevent binding. This feature is primarily useful for input component authors who want to use standard HTML input elements without causing Shiny to create an input binding for them. Additionally, Shiny now adds custom classes to its inputs. For example, `checkboxInput()` now has a `shiny-input-checkbox` class. These custom classes may be utilized in future updates to Shiny's input binding logic. (#3861)

* `Map` objects are now initialized at load time instead of build time. This avoids potential problems that could arise from storing `fastmap` objects into the built Shiny package. (#3775)

## Bug fixes

* Fixed #3771: Sometimes the error `ion.rangeSlider.min.js: i.stopPropagation is not a function` would appear in the JavaScript console. (#3772)

* Fixed #3833: When `width` is provided to `textAreaInput()`, we now correctly set the width of the `<textarea>` element. (#3838)

# shiny 1.7.4.1

## Full changelog

* Closed #3849: In R-devel, a warning was raised when Shiny was loaded because `as.numeric_version()` was called with a number instead of a string. (#3850)


# shiny 1.7.4

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* Closed #3719: Output container sizes, which are available via [`session$clientData` and `getCurrentOutputInfo()`](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/client-data.html), no longer round to the nearest pixel (i.e., they are now more exact, possibly fractional values). (#3720)

* Closed #3704, #3735, and #3740: `renderPlot()` no longer generates an error (or segfault) when it executes before the output is visible. Instead, it'll now use the graphics device's default size for it's initial size. Relatedly, `plotPNG()` now ignores `NULL` values for `width`/`height` (and uses the device's default `width`/`height` instead). (#3739)

### New features and improvements

* `plotOutput()`, `imageOutput()`, and `uiOutput()` gain a `fill` argument. If `TRUE` (the default for `plotOutput()`), the output container is allowed to grow/shrink to fit a fill container (created via `htmltools::bindFillRole()`) with an opinionated height. This means `plotOutput()` will grow/shrink by default [inside of `bslib::card_body_fill()`](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/cards.html#responsive-sizing), but `imageOutput()` and `uiOutput()` will have to opt-in to similar behavior with `fill = TRUE`. (#3715)

* Closed #3687: Updated jQuery-UI to v1.13.2. (#3697)

* Internal: Added clearer and strict TypeScript type definitions (#3644)


# shiny 1.7.3

### Bug fixes

* Shiny 1.7.0 changed the `icon(lib="fontawesome")` implementation from a bundled copy of fontawesome, to the {fontawesome} package. This led to issue #3688, where icons that were previously working, were now breaking. That's because {fontawesome} 0.3.0 and earlier did not have support for icon names used in Font Awesome 5 and earlier, only the newest icon names used in Font Awesome 6. Now, {fontawesome} 0.4.0 has restored support for those older icon names, and Shiny 1.7.2.1 has updated its {fontawesome} requirement to >=0.4.0.


# shiny 1.7.2

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* Closed #3626: `renderPlot()` (and `plotPNG()`) now uses `ragg::agg_png()` by default when the [`{ragg}` package](https://github.com/r-lib/ragg) is installed. To restore the previous behavior, set `options(shiny.useragg = FALSE)`. (#3654)

### New features and improvements

* Closed #1545: `insertUI()` now executes `<script>` tags. (#3630)

* `fileInput()` can set the `capture` attribute to facilitates user access to a device's media capture mechanism, such as a camera, or microphone, from within a file upload control ([W3C HTML Media Capture](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-media-capture/)). (Thanks to khaled-alshamaa, #3481)

* Closed tidyverse/dplyr#5552: Compatibility of dplyr 1.0 (and rlang chained errors in general) with `req()`, `validate()`, and friends.

* Closed tidyverse/dplyr#6154: Values from an `actionButton()` had S3 classes in the incorrect order.

* Closed #3346: Default for `ref` input in `runGithub()` changed from `"master"` to `"HEAD"`. (#3564)

* Closed #3619: In R 4.2, `splitLayout()` no longer raises warnings about incorrect length in an `if` statement. (Thanks to @dmenne, #3625)

### Bug fixes

* Closed #3250:`{rlang}`/`{tidyeval}` conditions (i.e., warnings and errors) are no longer filtered from stack traces. (#3602)

* Closed #3581: Errors in throttled/debounced reactive expressions no longer cause the session to exit. (#3624)

* Closed #3657: `throttle.ts` and the `Throttler` typescript objects it provides now function as intended. (Thanks gto @dvg-p4, #3659)

* The auto-reload feature (`options(shiny.autoreload=TRUE)`) was not being activated by `devmode(TRUE)`, despite a console message asserting that it was. (#3620)

* Closed #2297: If an error occurred in parsing a value in a bookmark query string, an error would be thrown and nothing would be restored. Now a message is displayed and that value is ignored. (Thanks to @daattali, #3385)

* Restored the previous behavior of automatically guessing the `Content-Type` header for `downloadHandler` functions when no explicit `contentType` argument is supplied. (#3393)

* Previously, updating an input value without a corresponding Input binding element did not trigger a JavaScript `shiny:inputchanged` event. Now, if no Input binding element is found, the `shiny:inputchanged` event is triggered on `window.document`. (#3584)

* Closed #2955: Input and output bindings previously attempted to use `el['data-input-id']`, but that never worked. They now use `el.getAttribute('data-input-id')` instead. (#3538)

### Minor improvements

* When taking a test snapshot, the sort order of the json keys of the `input`, `output`, and `export` fields is currently sorted using the locale of the machine. This can lead to inconsistent test snapshot results. To opt-in to a consistent ordering of snapshot fields with `{shinytest}`, please set the global option `options(shiny.snapshotsortc = TRUE)`. `{shinytest2}` users do not need to set this value. (#3515)

* Closed rstudio/shinytest2#222: When restoring a context (i.e., bookmarking) from a URL, Shiny now better handles a trailing `=` after `_inputs_` and `_values_`. (#3648)

* Shiny's internal HTML dependencies are now mounted dynamically instead of statically. (#3537)

* HTML dependencies that are sent to dynamic UI now have better type checking, and no longer require a `dep.src.href` field. (#3537)


# shiny 1.7.1

## Bug Fixes

* Closed #3516: Fix regression in repeated calls to `appendTab()` when `navbarMenu()` is already present within a `tabsetPanel()`/`navbarPage()`. (#3518)

* Re-arranged conditions for testthat 1.0.0 compatibility. (#3512)


# shiny 1.7.0

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* The `format` and `locale` arguments to `sliderInput()` have been removed. They have been deprecated since 0.10.2.2 (released on 2014-12-08).

* Closed #3403: `insertTab()`'s `position` parameter now defaults to `"after"` instead of `"before"`. This has the benefit of allowing us to fix a bug in positioning when `target = NULL`, but has the drawback of changing the default behavior when `target` is not `NULL`. (#3404)

### New features and improvements

* Bootstrap 5 support. (#3410 and rstudio/bslib#304)
  * As explained [here](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/index.html#basic-usage), to opt-in to Bootstrap 5, provide `bslib::bs_theme(version = 5)` to a page layout function with a `theme` argument (e.g., `fluidPage()`, `navbarPage()`, etc).

* Closed #3322, #3313, #1823, #3321, #3320, #1928, and #2310: Various improvements to `navbarPage()`, `tabsetPanel()`, `tabPanel()`, `navbarMenu()`, etc. Also, these functions are now powered by the `{bslib}` package's new `nav()` API (consider using `{bslib}`'s API to create better looking and more fully featured navs). (#3388)

* All uses of `list(...)` have been replaced with `rlang::list2(...)`. This means that you can use trailing `,` without error and use rlang's `!!!` operator to "splice" a list of argument values into `...`. We think this'll be particularly useful for passing a list of `tabPanel()` to their consumers (i.e., `tabsetPanel()`, `navbarPage()`, etc). For example, `tabs <- list(tabPanel("A", "a"), tabPanel("B", "b")); navbarPage(!!!tabs)`. (#3315 and #3328)

* `installExprFunction()` and `exprToFunction()` are now able to handle quosures when `quoted = TRUE`. So `render`-functions which call these functions (such as with `htmlwidgets`) can now understand quosures. Users can also use `rlang::inject()` to unquote a quosure for evaluation.  This also means that `render` function no longer need `env` and `quoted` parameters; that information can be embedded into a quosure which is then passed to the `render` function. Better documentation was added for how to create `render` functions. (#3472)

* `icon(lib="fontawesome")` is now powered by the `{fontawesome}` package, which will make it easier to use the latest FA icons in the future (by updating the `{fontawesome}` package). (#3302)

* Closed #3397: `renderPlot()` new uses `ggplot2::get_alt_text()` to inform an `alt` text default (for `{ggplot2}` plots). (#3398)

* `modalDialog()` gains support for `size = "xl"`. (#3410)

* Addressed #2521: Updated the list of TCP ports that will be rejected by default in runapp.R, adding 5060, 5061 and 6566. Added documentation describing the port range (3000:8000) and which ports are rejected. (#3456)

### Other improvements

* Shiny's core JavaScript code was converted to TypeScript. For the latest development information, please see the [README.md in `./srcts`](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/tree/v1.7.0/srcts). (#3296)

* Switched from `digest::digest()` to `rlang::hash()` for hashing. (#3264)

* Switched from internal `Stack` class to `fastmap::faststack()`, and used `fastmap::fastqueue()`. (#3176)

* Some long-deprecated functions and function parameters were removed. (#3137)

### Bug fixes

* Closed #3345: Shiny now correctly renders `htmltools::htmlDependency()`(s) with a `list()` of `script` attributes when used in a dynamic UI context. This fairly new `htmlDependency()` feature was added in `{htmltools}` v0.5.1. (#3395)

* Fixed [#2666](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/issues/2666) and [#2670](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/issues/2670): `nearPoints()` and `brushedPoints()` weren't properly account for missing values (#2666 was introduced in v1.4.0). ([#2668](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/pull/2668))

* Closed #3374: `quoToFunction()` now works correctly with nested quosures; and as a result, quasi-quotation with rendering function (e.g., `renderPrint()`, `renderPlot()`, etc) now works as expected with nested quosures. (#3373)

* Exported `register_devmode_option()`. This method was described in the documentation for `devmode()` but was never exported. See `?devmode()` for more details on how to register Shiny Developer options using `register_devmode_option()`. (#3364)

* Closed #3484: In the RStudio IDE on Mac 11.5, selected checkboxes and radio buttons were not visible. (#3485)

### Library updates

* Closed #3286: Updated to Font-Awesome 5.15.2. (#3288)

* Updated to jQuery 3.6.0. (#3311)

# shiny 1.6.0

This release focuses on improvements in three main areas:

1. Better theming (and Bootstrap 4) support:
  * The `theme` argument of `fluidPage()`, `navbarPage()`, and `bootstrapPage()` all now understand `bslib::bs_theme()` objects, which can be used to opt-into Bootstrap 4, use any Bootswatch theme, and/or implement custom themes without writing any CSS.
  * The `session` object now includes `$setCurrentTheme()` and `$getCurrentTheme()` methods to dynamically update (or obtain) the page's `theme` after initial load, which is useful for things such as [adding a dark mode switch to an app](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/theming.html#dynamic) or some other "real-time" theming tool like `bslib::bs_themer()`.
  * For more details, see [`{bslib}`'s website](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/)

2. Caching of `reactive()` and `render*()` (e.g. `renderText()`, `renderTable()`, etc) expressions.
  * Such expressions automatically cache their _most recent value_, which helps to avoid redundant computation within a single "flush" of reactivity. The new `bindCache()` function can be used to cache _all previous values_ (as long as they fit in the cache). This cache may be optionally scoped within and/or across user sessions, possibly leading to huge performance gains, especially when deployed at scale across user sessions.
  * For more details, see `help(bindCache, package = "shiny")`

3. Various improvements to accessibility for screen-reader and keyboard users.
  * For more details, see the accessibility section below.

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* Closed #3074: Shiny no longer supports file uploads for Internet Explorer 8 or 9. (#3075)

* Subtle changes, and some soft-deprecations, have come to `freezeReactiveValue` and `freezeReactiveVal` (#3055). These functions have been fragile at best in previous releases (issues #1791, #2463, #2946). In this release, we've solved all the problems we know about with `freezeReactiveValue(input, "x")`, by 1) invalidating `input$x` and set it to `NULL` whenever we freeze, and 2) ensuring that, after a freeze, even if the effect of `renderUI` or `updateXXXInput` is to set `input$x` to the same value it already has, this will result in an invalidation (whereas by default, Shiny filters out such spurious assignments).

  Similar problems may exist when using `freezeReactiveVal`, and when using `freezeReactiveValue` with non-`input` reactive values objects. But support for those was added mostly for symmetry with `freezeReactiveValue(input)`, and given the above issues, it's not clear to us how you could have used these successfully in the past, or why you would even want to. For this release, we're soft-deprecating both of those uses, but we're more than willing to un-deprecate if it turns out people are using these; if that includes you, please join the conversation at https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/issues/3063. In the meantime, you can squelch the deprecation messages for these functions specifically, by setting `options(shiny.deprecation.messages.freeze = FALSE)`.

### Accessibility

* Added [bootstrap accessibility plugin](https://github.com/paypal/bootstrap-accessibility-plugin) under the hood to improve accessibility of shiny apps for screen-reader and keyboard users: the enhancements include better navigations for alert, tooltip, popover, modal dialog, dropdown, tab Panel, collapse, and carousel elements. (#2911)

* Closed #2987: Improved accessibility of "live regions" -- namely, `*Output()` bindings and `update*Input()`. (#3042)

* Added appropriate labels to `icon()` element to provide screen-reader users with alternative descriptions for the `fontawesome` and `glyphicon`: `aria-label` is automatically applied based on the fontawesome name. For example, `icon("calendar")` will be announced as "calendar icon" to screen readers. "presentation" aria role has also been attached to `icon()` to remove redundant semantic info for screen readers. (#2917)

* Closed #2929: Fixed keyboard accessibility for file picker button: keyboard users can now tab to focus on `fileInput()` widget. (#2937)

* Fixed #2951: screen readers correctly announce labels and date formats for `dateInput()` and `dateRangeInput()` widgets. (#2978)

* Closed #2847: `selectInput()` is reasonably accessible for screen readers even when `selectize` option is set to TRUE. To improve `selectize.js` accessibility, we have added [selectize-plugin-a11y](https://github.com/SalmenBejaoui/selectize-plugin-a11y) by default. (#2993)

* Closed #612: Added `alt` argument to `renderPlot()` and `renderCachedPlot()` to specify descriptive texts for `plotOutput()` objects, which is essential for screen readers. By default, alt text is set to the static text, "Plot object," but even dynamic text can be made with reactive function. (#3006, thanks @trafficonese and @leonawicz for the original PR and discussion via #2494)

* Added semantic landmarks for `mainPanel()` and `sidebarPanel()` so that assistive technologies can recognize them as "main" and "complementary" region respectively. (#3009)

* Closed #2844: Added `lang` argument to ui `*Page()` functions (e.g., `fluidPage`, `bootstrapPage`) that specifies document-level language within the app for the accessibility of screen readers and search-engine parsers. By default, it is set to empty string which is commonly recognized as a browser's default locale. (#2920)

* Improved accessibility for `radioButtons()` and `checkboxGroupInput()`: All options are now grouped together semantically for assistive technologies. (thanks @jooyoungseo, #3187).

### Minor new features and improvements

* Added support for Shiny Developer Mode. Developer Mode enables a number of `options()` to make a developer's life easier, like enabling non-minified JS and printing messages about deprecated functions and options. See `?devmode()` for more details. (#3174)

* New `reactiveConsole()` makes it easier to interactively experiment with reactivity at the console (#2518).

* When UI is specified as a function (e.g. `ui <- function(req) { ... }`), the response can now be an HTTP response as returned from the (newly exported) `httpResponse()` function. (#2970)

* `selectInput` and `selectizeInput` now warn about performance implications when thousands of choices are used, and recommend [server-side selectize](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/selectize.html) be used instead. (#2959)

* Closed #2980: `addResourcePath()` now allows paths with a leading `.` (thanks to @ColinFay). (#2981)

* Closed #2972: `runExample()` now supports the `shiny.port` option (thanks to @ColinFay). (#2982)

* Closed #2692: `downloadButton()` icon can now be changed via the `icon` parameter (thanks to @ColinFay). (#3010)

* Closed #2984: improved documentation for `renderCachedPlot()` (thanks to @aalucaci). (#3016)

* `reactiveValuesToList()` will save its `reactlog` label as `reactiveValuesToList(<ID>)` vs `as.list(<ID>)` (#3017)

* Removed unused (and non-exported) `cacheContext` class.

* `testServer()` can accept a single server function as input (#2965).

* `shinyOptions()` now has session-level scoping, in addition to global and application-level scoping. (#3080)

* `runApp()` now warns when running an application in an R package directory. (#3114)

* Shiny now uses `cache_mem` from the cachem package, instead of `memoryCache` and `diskCache`. (#3118)

* Closed #3140: Added support for `...` argument in `icon()`. (#3143)

* Closed #629: All `update*` functions now have a default value for `session`, and issue an informative warning if it is missing. (#3195, #3199)

* Improved error messages when reading reactive values outside of a reactive domain (e.g., `reactiveVal()()`). (#3007)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1942: Calling `runApp("app.R")` no longer ignores options passed into `shinyApp()`. This makes it possible for Shiny apps to specify what port/host should be used by default. (#2969)

* Fixed #3033: When a `DiskCache` was created with both `max_n` and `max_size`, too many items could get pruned when `prune()` was called. (#3034)

* Fixed #2703: Fixed numerous issues with some combinations of `min`/`value`/`max` causing issues with `date[Range]Input()` and `updateDate[Range]Input()`. (#3038, #3201)

* Fixed #2936: `dateYMD` was giving a warning when passed a vector of dates from `dateInput` which was greater than length 1. The length check was removed because it was not needed. (#3061)

* Fixed #2266, #2688: `radioButtons` and `updateRadioButtons` now accept `character(0)` to indicate that none of the options should be selected (thanks to @ColinFay). (#3043)

* Fixed a bug that `textAreaInput()` doesn't work as expected for relative `width` (thanks to @shrektan). (#2049)

* Fixed #2859: `renderPlot()` wasn't correctly setting `showtext::showtext_opts()`'s `dpi` setting with the correct resolution on high resolution displays; which means, if the font was rendered by showtext, font sizes would look smaller than they should on such displays. (#2941)

* Closed #2910, #2909, #1552: `sliderInput()` warns if the `value` is outside of `min` and `max`, and errors if `value` is `NULL` or `NA`. (#3194)

### Library updates

* Removed html5shiv and respond.js, which were used for IE 8 and IE 9 compatibility. (#2973)

* Removed es5-shim library, which was internally used within `selectInput()` for ECMAScript 5 compatibility. (#2993)


# shiny 1.5.0

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* Fixed #2869: Until this release, `renderImage()` had a dangerous default of `deleteFile = TRUE`. (Sorry!) Going forward, calls to `renderImage()` will need an explicit `deleteFile` argument; for now, failing to provide one will result in a warning message, and the file will be deleted if it appears to be within the `tempdir()`. (#2881)

### New features

* The new `shinyAppTemplate()` function creates a new template Shiny application, where components are optional, such as helper files in an R/ subdirectory, a module, and various kinds of tests. (#2704)

* `runTests()` is a new function that behaves much like R CMD check. `runTests()` invokes all of the top-level R files in the tests/ directory inside an application, in that application's environment. (#2585)

* `testServer()` is a new function for testing reactive behavior inside server functions and modules. ([#2682](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/pull/2682), [#2764](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/pull/2764), [#2807](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/pull/2807))

* The new `moduleServer` function provides a simpler interface for creating and using modules. (#2773)

* Resolved #2732: `markdown()` is a new function for writing Markdown with Github extensions directly in Shiny UIs. Markdown rendering is performed by the [commonmark](https://github.com/r-lib/commonmark) package. (#2737)

* The `getCurrentOutputInfo()` function can now return the background color (`bg`), foreground color (`fg`), `accent` (i.e., hyperlink) color, and `font` information of the output's HTML container. This information is reported by `plotOutput()`, `imageOutput()`, and any other output bindings containing a class of `.shiny-report-theme`. This feature allows developers to style an output's contents based on the container's CSS styling.  (#2740)

### Minor new features and improvements

* Fixed #2042, #2628: In a `dateInput` and `dateRangeInput`, disabled months and years are now a lighter gray, to make it easier to see that they are disabled. (#2690)

* `getCurrentOutputInfo()` previously threw an error when called from outside of an output; now it returns `NULL`. (#2707 and #2858)

* Added a label to observer that auto-reloads `R/` directory to avoid confusion when using `reactlog`. (#58)

* `getDefaultReactiveDomain()` can now be called inside a `session$onSessionEnded` callback and will return the calling `session` information. (#2757)

* Added a `'function'` class to `reactive()` and `reactiveVal()` objects. (#2793)

* Added a new option (`type = "hidden"`) to `tabsetPanel()`, making it easier to set the active tab via other input controls (e.g., `radioButtons()`) rather than tabs or pills. Use this option in conjunction with `updateTabsetPanel()` and the new `tabsetPanelBody()` function (see `help(tabsetPanel)` for an example and more details).  (#2814)

* Added function `updateActionLink()` to update an `actionLink()` label and/or icon value. (#2811)

* Fixed #2856: Bumped jQuery 3 from 3.4.1 to 3.5.1. (#2857)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #2606: `debounce()` would not work properly if the code in the reactive expression threw an error on the first run. (#2652)

* Fixed #2653: The `dataTableOutput()` could have incorrect output if certain characters were in the column names. (#2658)

### Documentation Updates

### Library updates

* Updated from Font-Awesome 5.3.1 to 5.13.0, which includes icons related to COVID-19. For upgrade notes, see https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/UPGRADING.md. (#2891)


# shiny 1.4.0.2

Minor patch release: fixed some timing-dependent tests failed intermittently on CRAN build machines.


# shiny 1.4.0.1

Minor patch release to account for changes to the grid package that will be upcoming in the R 4.0 release (#2776).


# shiny 1.4.0

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* Resolved #2554: Upgraded jQuery from v.1.12.4 to v3.4.1 and bootstrap from v3.3.7 to v3.4.1. (#2557). Since the jQuery upgrade may introduce breaking changes to user code, there is an option to switch back to the old version by setting `options(shiny.jquery.version = 1)`. If you've hard-coded `shared/jquery[.min].js` in the HTML of your Shiny app, in order to downgrade, you'll have to change that filepath to `shared/legacy/jquery[.min].js`.

### Improvements

* Resolved #1433: `plotOutput()`'s coordmap info now includes discrete axis limits for **ggplot2** plots. As a result, any **shinytest** tests that contain **ggplot2** plots with discrete axes (that were recorded before this change) will now report differences that can safely be updated. This new coordmap info was added to correctly infer what data points are within an input brush and/or near input click/hover in scenarios where a non-trivial discrete axis scale is involved (e.g., whenever `scale_[x/y]_discrete(limits = ...)` and/or free scales across multiple discrete axes are used). (#2410)

* Resolved #2402: An informative warning is now thrown for mis-specified (date) strings in `dateInput()`, `updateDateInput()`, `dateRangeInput()`, and `updateDateRangeInput()`. (#2403)

* If the `shiny.autoload.r` option is set to `TRUE`, all files ending in `.r` or `.R` contained in a directory named `R/` adjacent to your application are sourced when your app is started. This will become the default Shiny behavior in a future release (#2547)

* Resolved #2442: The `shiny:inputchanged` JavaScript event now triggers on the related input element instead of `document`. Existing event listeners bound to `document` will still detect the event due to event bubbling. (#2446)

* Fixed #1393, #2223: For plots with any interactions enabled, the image is no longer draggable. (#2460)

* Resolved #2469: `renderText` now takes a `sep` argument that is passed to `cat`. (#2497)

* Added `resourcePaths()` and `removeResourcePaths()` functions. (#2459)

* Resolved #2433: An informative warning is now thrown if subdirectories of the app's `www/` directory are masked by other resource prefixes and/or the same resource prefix is mapped to different local file paths. (#2434)

* Resolved #2478: `cmd + shift + f3` and `ctrl + shift + f3` can now be used to add a reactlog mark. If reactlog keybindings are used and the reactlog is not enabled, an error page is displayed showing how to enable reactlog recordings. (#2560)

### Bug fixes

* Partially resolved #2423: Reactivity in Shiny leaked some memory, because R can leak memory whenever a new symbols is interned, which happens whenever a new name/key is used in an environment. R now uses the fastmap package, which avoids this problem. (#2429)

* Fixed #2267: Fixed a memory leak with `invalidateLater`. (#2555)

* Fixed #1548: The `reactivePoll` function leaked an observer; that is the observer would continue to exist even if the `reactivePoll` object was no longer accessible. #2522

* Fixed #2116: Fixed an issue where dynamic tabs could not be added when on a hosted platform. (#2545)

* Resolved #2515: `selectInput()` and `selectizeInput()` now deal appropriately with named factors. Note that `updateSelectInput()` and `updateSelectizeInput()` **do not** yet handle factors; their behavior is unchanged. (#2524, #2540, #2625)

* Resolved #2471: Large file uploads to a Windows computer were slow. (#2579)

* Fixed #2387: Updating a `sliderInput()`'s type from numeric to date no longer changes the rate policy from debounced to immediate. More generally, updating an input binding with a new type should (no longer) incorrectly alter the input rate policy. (#2404)

* Fixed #868: If an input is initialized with a `NULL` label, it can now be updated with a string. Moreover, if an input label is initialized with a string, it can now be removed by updating with `label=character(0)` (similar to how `choices` and `selected` can be cleared in `updateSelectInput()`). (#2406)

* Fixed #2250: `updateSliderInput()` now works with un-specified (or zero-length) `min`, `max`, and `value`. (#2416)

* Fixed #2396: `selectInput("myID", ...)` resulting in an extra `myID-selectized` input (introduced in v1.2.0). (#2418)

* Fixed #2233: `verbatimTextOutput()` produced wrapped text on Safari, but the text should not be wrapped. (#2353)

* Fixed #2335: When `dateInput()`'s `value` was unspecified, and `max` and/or `min` was set to `Sys.Date()`, the value was not being set properly. (#2526)

* Fixed #2591: Providing malformed date-strings to `min` or `max` no longer results in JS errors for `dateInput()` and `dateRangeInput()`. (#2592)

* Fixed [rstudio/reactlog#36](https://github.com/rstudio/reactlog/issues/36): Changes to reactive values not displaying accurately in reactlog. (#2424)

* Fixed #2598: Showcase files don't appear with a wide window. (#2582)

* Fixed #2329, #1817: These bugs were reported as fixed in Shiny 1.3.0 but were not actually fixed because some JavaScript changes were accidentally not included in the release. The fix resolves issues that occur when `withProgressBar()` or bookmarking are combined with the [networkD3](https://christophergandrud.github.io/networkD3/) package's Sankey plot.


# shiny 1.3.2

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #2385: Static CSS/JS resources in subapps in R Markdown documents did not render properly. (#2386)

* Fixed #2280: Shiny applications that used a www/index.html file did not serve up the index file. (#2382)


# shiny 1.3.1

## Full changelog

### Bug fixes

* Fixed a performance issue introduced in v1.3.0 when using large nested lists within Shiny. (#2377)


# shiny 1.3.0

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

### New features

* Revamped Shiny's [reactlog](https://github.com/rstudio/reactlog) viewer which debugs reactivity within a shiny application.  This allows users to traverse the reactivity history of a shiny application, filter to the dependency tree of a selected reactive object, and search for matching reactive objects.  See `?reactlogShow` for more details and how to enable this feature. (#2107)

* Shiny now serves static files on a background thread. This means that things like JavaScript and CSS assets can be served without blocking or being blocked by the main R thread, and should result in significantly better performance for heavily loaded servers. (#2280)

### Minor new features and improvements

* The `Shiny-Shared-Secret` security header is now checked using constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks (thanks @dirkschumacher!). (#2319)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #2245: `updateSelectizeInput()` did not update labels. (#2248)

* Fixed #2308: When restoring a bookmarked application, inputs with a leading `.` would not be restored. (#2311)

* Fixed #2305, #2322, #2351: When an input in dynamic UI is restored from bookmarks, it would keep getting set to the same value. (#2360)

* Fixed #2349, #2329, #1817: These were various bugs triggered by the presence of the [networkD3](https://christophergandrud.github.io/networkD3/) package's Sankey plot in an app. Impacted features included `dateRangeInput`, `withProgressBar`, and bookmarking (#2359)

### Documentation Updates

* Fixed #2247: `renderCachedPlot` now supports using promises for either `expr` or `cacheKeyExpr`. (Shiny v1.2.0 supported async `expr`, but only if `cacheKeyExpr` was async as well; now you can use any combination of sync/async for `expr` and `cacheKeyExpr`.) #2261


# shiny 1.2.0

This release features plot caching, an important new tool for improving performance and scalability. Using `renderCachedPlot` in place of `renderPlot` can greatly improve responsiveness for apps that show the same plot many times (for example, a dashboard or report where all users view the same data). Shiny gives you a fair amount of control in where the cache is stored and how cached plots are invalidated, so be sure to read [this article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/plot-caching.html) to get the most out of this feature.

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* The URL paths for FontAwesome CSS/JS/font assets have changed, due to our upgrade from FontAwesome 4 to 5. This shouldn't affect you unless you're using `www/index.html` to provide your UI and have hardcoded the old FontAwesome paths into your HTML. If that's you, consider switching to [HTML templates](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/templates.html), which give you the syntax of raw HTML while still taking advantage of Shiny's automatic management of web dependencies.

### New features

* Added `renderCachedPlot()`, which stores plots in a cache so that they can be served up almost instantly. (#1997)

### Minor new features and improvements

* Upgrade FontAwesome from 4.7.0 to 5.3.1 and made `icon` tags browsable, which means they will display in a web browser or RStudio viewer by default (#2186). Note that if your application or library depends on FontAwesome directly using custom CSS, you may need to make some or all of the changes recommended in [Upgrade from Version 4](https://docs-v5.fontawesome.com/web/setup/upgrade-from-v4). Font Awesome icons can also now be used in static R Markdown documents.

* Address #174: Added `datesdisabled` and `daysofweekdisabled` as new parameters to `dateInput()`. This resolves #174 and exposes the underlying arguments of [Bootstrap Datepicker](http://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/options.html#datesdisabled). `datesdisabled` expects a character vector with values in `yyyy/mm/dd` format and `daysofweekdisabled` expects an integer vector with day interger ids (Sunday=0, Saturday=6). The default value for both is `NULL`, which leaves all days selectable. Thanks, @nathancday! (#2147)

* Support for selecting variables of a data frame with the output values to be used within tidy evaluation.  Added functions: `varSelectInput`, `varSelectizeInput`, `updateVarSelectInput`, `updateVarSelectizeInput`. (#2091)

* Addressed #2042: dates outside of `min`/`max` date range are now a lighter shade of grey to highlight the allowed range. (#2087)

* Added support for plot interaction when the plot is scaled. (#2125)

* Fixed #1933: extended server-side selectize to lists and optgroups. (#2102)

* Added namespace support when freezing reactiveValue keys. #2080

* Upgrade selectize.js from 0.12.1 to 0.12.4 #2028

* Addressed #2079: Added `coords_img`, `coords_css`, and `img_css_ratio` fields containing x and y location information for plot brush, hover, and click events. #2183

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #2033: RStudio Viewer window not closed on `shiny::stopApp()`. Thanks, @vnijs! #2047

* Fixed #1935: correctly returns plot coordinates when using outer margins. (#2108)

* Resolved #2019: `updateSliderInput` now changes the slider formatting if the input type changes. (#2099)

* Fixed #2138: Inputs that are part of a `renderUI` were no longer restoring correctly from bookmarked state. #2139

* The `knit_print` methods from htmltools are no longer imported into shiny and then exported. Also, shiny's `knit_print` methods are no longer exported. #2166

* Fixed #2093: Make sure bookmark scope directory does not exist before trying to create it. #2168

* Fixed #2177: The session name is now being recorded when exiting a context.  Multiple sessions can now view their respective reactlogs. #2180

* Fixed #2162: `selectInput` was sending spurious duplicate values to the server when using backspace. Thanks, @sada1993! #2187

* Fixed #2142: Dropping files on `fileInput`s stopped working on recent releases of Firefox. Thanks @dmenne for reporting! #2203

* Fixed #2204: `updateDateInput` could set the wrong date on days where DST begins. (Thanks @GaGaMan1101!) #2212

* Fixed #2225: Input event queue can stall in apps that use async. #2226

* Fixed #2228: `reactiveTimer` fails when not owned by a session. Thanks, @P-Bettega! #2229

### Documentation Updates

* Addressed #1864 by changing `optgroup` documentation to use `list` instead of `c`. (#2084)


# shiny 1.1.0

This is a significant release for Shiny, with a major new feature that was nearly a year in the making: support for asynchronous operations! Until now, R's single-threaded nature meant that performing long-running calculations or tasks from Shiny would bring your app to a halt for other users of that process. This release of Shiny deeply integrates the [promises](https://rstudio.github.io/promises/) package to allow you to execute some tasks asynchronously, including as part of reactive expressions and outputs. See the [promises](https://rstudio.github.io/promises/) documentation to learn more.

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* `extractStackTrace` and `formatStackTrace` are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Shiny. As far as we can tell, nobody has been using these functions, and a refactor has made them vestigial; if you need this functionality, please file an issue.

### New features

* Support for asynchronous operations! Built-in render functions that expected a certain kind of object to be yielded from their `expr`, now generally can handle a promise for that kind of object. Reactive expressions and observers are now promise-aware as well. (#1932)

* Introduced two changes to the (undocumented but widely used) JavaScript function `Shiny.onInputChange(name, value)`. First, we changed the function name to `Shiny.setInputValue` (but don't worry--the old function name will continue to work). Second, until now, all calls to `Shiny.onInputChange(inputId, value)` have been "deduplicated"; that is, anytime an input is set to the same value it already has, the set is ignored. With Shiny v1.1, you can now add an options object as the third parameter: `Shiny.setInputValue("name", value, {priority: "event"})`. When the priority option is set to `"event"`, Shiny will always send the value and trigger reactivity, whether it is a duplicate or not. This closes #928, which was the most upvoted open issue by far! Thanks, @daattali. (#2018)

### Minor new features and improvements

* Addressed #1978: `shiny:value` is now triggered when duplicate output data is received from the server. (Thanks, @andrewsali! #1999)

* If a shiny output contains a css class of `shiny-report-size`, its container height and width are now reported in `session$clientData`. So, for an output with an id with `"myID"`, the height/width can be accessed via `session$clientData[['output_myID_height']]`/`session$clientData[['output_myID_width']]`. Addresses #1980. (Thanks, @cpsievert! #1981)

* Added a new `autoclose = TRUE` parameter to `dateInput()` and `dateRangeInput()`. This closed #1969 which was a duplicate of much older issue, #173. The default value is `TRUE` since that seems to be the common use case. However, this will cause existing apps with date inputs (that update to this version of Shiny) to have the datepicker be immediately closed once a date is selected. For most apps, this is actually desired behavior; if you wish to keep the datepicker open until the user clicks out of it use `autoclose = FALSE`. (#1987)

* The version of Shiny is now accessible from Javascript, with `Shiny.version`. There is also a new function for comparing version strings, `Shiny.compareVersion()`. (#1826, #1830)

* Addressed #1851: Stack traces are now smaller in some places `do.call()` is used. (#1856)

* Stack traces have been improved, with more aggressive de-noising and support for deep stack traces (stitching together multiple stack traces that are conceptually part of the same async operation).

* Addressed #1859: Server-side selectize is now significantly faster. (Thanks to @dselivanov #1861)

* #1989: The server side of outputs can now be removed (e.g. `output$plot <- NULL`). This is not usually necessary but it does allow some objects to be garbage collected, which might matter if you are dynamically creating and destroying many outputs. (Thanks, @mmuurr! #2011)

* Removed the (ridiculously outdated) "experimental feature" tag from the reference documentation for `renderUI`. (#2036)

* Addressed #1907: the `ignoreInit` argument was first added only to `observeEvent`. Later, we also added it to `eventReactive`, but forgot to update the documentation. Now done, thanks @flo12392! (#2036)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1006: Slider inputs sometimes showed too many digits. (#1956)

* Fixed #1958: Slider inputs previously displayed commas after a decimal point. (#1960)

* The internal `URLdecode()` function previously was a copy of `httpuv::decodeURIComponent()`, assigned at build time; now it invokes the httpuv function at run time.

* Fixed #1840: with the release of Shiny 1.0.5, we accidently changed the relative positioning of the icon and the title text in `navbarMenu`s and `tabPanel`s. This fix reverts this behavior back (i.e. the icon should be to the left of the text and/or the downward arrow in case of `navbarMenu`s). (#1848)

* Fixed #1600: URL-encoded bookmarking did not work with sliders that had dates or date-times. (#1961)

* Fixed #1962: [File dragging and dropping](https://posit.co/blog/shiny-1-0-4/) broke in the presence of jQuery version 3.0 as introduced by the [rhandsontable](https://jrowen.github.io/rhandsontable/) [htmlwidget](https://www.htmlwidgets.org/). (#2005)

* Improved the error handling inside the `addResourcePath()` function, to give end users more informative error messages when the `directoryPath` argument cannot be normalized. This is especially useful for `runtime: shiny_prerendered` Rmd documents, like `learnr` tutorials. (#1968)

* Changed script tags in reactlog ([inst/www/reactive-graph.html](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/blob/v1.1.0/inst/www/reactive-graph.html)) from HTTP to HTTPS in order to avoid mixed content blocking by most browsers. (Thanks, @jekriske-lilly! #1844)

* Addressed #1784: `runApp()` will avoid port 6697, which is considered unsafe by Chrome.

* Fixed #2000: Implicit calls to `xxxOutput` not working inside modules. (Thanks, @GregorDeCillia! #2010)

* Fixed #2021: Memory leak with `reactiveTimer` and `invalidateLater`. (#2022)


### Library updates

* Updated to ion.rangeSlider 2.2.0. (#1955)


## Known issues

In some rare cases, interrupting an application (by pressing Ctrl-C or Esc) may result in the message `Error in execCallbacks(timeoutSecs) : c++ exception (unknown reason)`. Although this message sounds alarming, it is harmless, and will go away in a future version of the later package (more information [here](https://github.com/r-lib/later/issues/55)).


# shiny 1.0.5

## Full changelog

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1818: `conditionalPanel()` expressions that have a newline character in them caused the application to not work. (#1820)

* Added a safe wrapper function for internal calls to `jsonlite::fromJSON()`. (#1822)

* Fixed #1824: HTTP HEAD requests on static files caused the application to stop. (#1825)


# shiny 1.0.4

There are three headlining features in this release of Shiny. It is now possible to add and remove tabs from a `tabPanel`; there is a new function, `onStop()`, which registers callbacks that execute when an application exits; and `fileInput`s now can have files dragged and dropped on them. In addition to these features, this release has a number of minor features and bug fixes. See the full changelog below for more details.

## Full changelog

### New features

* Implemented #1668: dynamic tabs: added functions (`insertTab`, `appendTab`, `prependTab`, `removeTab`, `showTab` and `hideTab`) that allow you to do those actions for an existing `tabsetPanel`. (#1794)

* Implemented #1213: Added a new function, `onStop()`, which can be used to register callback functions that are invoked when an application exits, or when a user session ends. (Multiple sessions can be connected to a single running Shiny application.) This is useful if you have finalization/clean-up code that should be run after the application exits. (#1770

* Implemented #1155: Files can now be drag-and-dropped on `fileInput` controls. The appearance of `fileInput` controls while files are being dragged can be modified by overriding the `shiny-file-input-active` and `shiny-file-input-over` classes. (#1782)

### Minor new features and improvements

* Addressed #1688: trigger a new `shiny:outputinvalidated` event when an output gets invalidated, at the same time that the `recalculating` CSS class is added. (#1758, thanks [@andrewsali](https://github.com/andrewsali)!)

* Addressed #1508: `fileInput` now permits the same file to be uploaded multiple times. (#1719)

* Addressed #1501: The `fileInput` control now retains uploaded file extensions on the server. This fixes [readxl](https://github.com/tidyverse/readxl)'s `readxl::read_excel` and other functions that must recognize a file's extension in order to work. (#1706)

* For `conditionalPanel`s, Shiny now gives more informative messages if there are errors evaluating or parsing the JavaScript conditional expression. (#1727)

* Addressed #1586: The `conditionalPanel` function now accepts an `ns` argument. The `ns` argument can be used in a [module](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/modules.html) UI function to scope the `condition` expression to the module's own input and output IDs. (#1735)

* With `options(shiny.testmode=TRUE)`, the Shiny process will send a message to the client in response to a changed input, even if no outputs have changed. This helps to streamline testing using the shinytest package. (#1747)

* Addressed #1738: The `updateTextInput` and `updateTextAreaInput` functions can now update the placeholder. (#1742)

* Converted examples to single file apps, and made updates and enhancements to comments in the example app scripts. (#1685)

* Added new `snapshotPreprocessInput()` and `snapshotPreprocessOutput()` functions, which is used for preprocessing and input and output values before taking a test snapshot. (#1760, #1789)

* The HTML generated by `renderTable()` no longer includes comments with the R version, xtable version, and timestamp. (#1771)

* Added a function `isRunning` to test whether a Shiny app is currently running. (#1785)

* Added a function `setSerializer`, which allows authors to specify a function for serializing the value of a custom input. (#1791)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1546: make it possible (without any hacks) to write arbitrary data into a module's `session$userData` (which is exactly the same environment as the parent's `session$userData`). To be clear, it allows something like `session$userData$x <- TRUE`, but not something like `session$userData <- TRUE` (that is not allowed in any context, whether you're in the main app, or in a module) (#1732).

* Fixed #1701: There was a partial argument match in the `generateOptions` function. (#1702)

* Fixed #1710: `ReactiveVal` objects did not have separate dependents. (#1712)

* Fixed #1438: `unbindAll()` should not be called when inserting content with `insertUI()`. A previous fix (#1449) did not work correctly. (#1736)

* Fixed #1755: dynamic htmlwidgets sent the path of the package on the server to the client. (#1756)

* Fixed #1763: Shiny's private random stream leaked out into the main random stream. (#1768)

* Fixed #1680: `options(warn=2)` was not respected when running an app. (#1790)

* Fixed #1772: ensure that `runApp()` respects the `shinyApp(onStart = function())` argument. (#1770)

* Fixed #1474: A `browser()` call in an observer could cause an error in the RStudio IDE on Windows. (#1802)


# shiny 1.0.3

This is a hotfix release of Shiny. With previous versions of Shiny, when running an application on the newly-released version of R, 3.4.0, it would print a message: `Warning in body(fun) : argument is not a function`. This has no effect on the application, but because the message could be alarming to users, we are releasing a new version of Shiny that fixes this issue.

## Full changelog

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1672: When an error occurred while uploading a file, the progress bar did not change colors. (#1673)

* Fixed #1676: On R 3.4.0, running a Shiny application gave a warning: `Warning in body(fun) : argument is not a function`. (#1677)


# shiny 1.0.2

This is a hotfix release of Shiny. The primary reason for this release is because the web host for MathJax JavaScript library is scheduled to be shut down in the next few weeks. After it is shut down, Shiny applications that use MathJax will no longer be able to load the MathJax library if they are run with Shiny 1.0.1 and below. (If you don't know whether your application uses MathJax, it probably does not.) For more information about why the MathJax CDN is shutting down, see https://www.mathjax.org/cdn-shutting-down/.

## Full changelog

### Minor new features and improvements

* Added a `shiny:sessioninitialized` Javascript event, which is fired at the end of the initialize method of the Session object. This allows us to listen for this event when we want to get the value of things like `Shiny.user`. (#1568)

* Fixed #1649: allow the `choices` argument in `checkboxGroupInput()` to be `NULL` (or `c()`) to keep backward compatibility with Shiny < 1.0.1. This will result in the same thing as providing `choices = character(0)`. (#1652)

* The official URL for accessing MathJax libraries over CDN has been deprecated and will be removed soon. We have switched to a new rstudio.com URL that we will support going forward. (#1664)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1653: wrong code example in documentation. (#1658)


# shiny 1.0.1

This is a maintenance release of Shiny, mostly aimed at fixing bugs and introducing minor features. The most notable additions in this version of Shiny are the introduction of the `reactiveVal()` function (it's like `reactiveValues()`, but it only stores a single value), and that the choices of `radioButtons()` and `checkboxGroupInput()` can now contain HTML content instead of just plain text.

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* The functions `radioButtons()`, `checkboxGroupInput()` and `selectInput()` (and the corresponding `updateXXX()` functions) no longer accept a `selected` argument whose value is the name of a choice, instead of the value of the choice. This feature had been deprecated since Shiny 0.10 (it printed a warning message, but still tried to match the name to the right choice) and it's now completely unsupported.

### New features

* Added `reactiveVal` function, for storing a single value which can be (reactively) read and written. Similar to `reactiveValues`, except that `reactiveVal` just lets you store a single value instead of storing multiple values by name. (#1614)

### Minor new features and improvements

* Fixed #1637: Outputs stay faded on MS Edge. (#1640)

* Addressed #1348 and #1437 by adding two new arguments to `radioButtons()` and `checkboxGroupInput()`: `choiceNames` (list or vector) and `choiceValues` (list or vector). These can be passed in as an alternative to `choices`, with the added benefit that the elements in `choiceNames` can be arbitrary UI (i.e. anything created by `HTML()` and the `tags()` functions, like icons and images). While the underlying values for each choice (passed in through `choiceValues`) must still be simple text, their visual representation on the app (what the user actually clicks to select a different option) can be any valid HTML element. See `?radioButtons` for a small example. (#1521)

* Updated `tools/README.md` with more detailed instructions. (#1616)

* Fixed #1565, which meant that resources with spaces in their names return HTTP 404. (#1566)

* Exported `session$user` (if it exists) to the client-side; it's accessible in the Shiny object: `Shiny.user`. (#1563)

* Added support for HTML5's `pushState` which allows for pseudo-navigation
in shiny apps. For more info, see the documentation (`?updateQueryString` and `?getQueryString`). (#1447)

* Fixed #1121: plot interactions with ggplot2 now support `coord_fixed()`. (#1525)

* Added `snapshotExclude` function, which marks an output so that it is not recorded in a test snapshot. (#1559)

* Added `shiny:filedownload` JavaScript event, which is triggered when a `downloadButton` or `downloadLink` is clicked. Also, the values of `downloadHandler`s are not recorded in test snapshots, because the values change every time the application is run. (#1559)

* Added support for plot interactions with ggplot2 > 2.2.1. (#1578)

* Fixed #1577: Improved `escapeHTML` (util.js) in terms of the order dependency of replacing, XSS risk attack and performance. (#1579)

* The `shiny:inputchanged` JavaScript event now includes two new fields, `binding` and `el`, which contain the input binding and DOM element, respectively. Additionally, `Shiny.onInputChange()` now accepts an optional argument, `opts`, which can contain the same fields. (#1596)

* The `NS()` function now returns a vectorized function. (#1613)

* Fixed #1617: `fileInput` can have customized text for the button and the placeholder. (#1619)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1511: `fileInput`s did not trigger the `shiny:inputchanged` event on the client. Also removed `shiny:fileuploaded` JavaScript event, because it is no longer needed after this fix. (#1541, #1570)

* Fixed #1472: With a Progress object, calling `set(value=NULL)` made the progress bar go to 100%. Now it does not change the value of the progress bar. The documentation also incorrectly said that setting the `value` to `NULL` would hide the progress bar. (#1547)

* Fixed #162: When a dynamically-generated input changed to a different `inputType`, it might be incorrectly deduplicated.  (#1594)

* Removed redundant call to `inputs.setInput`. (#1595)

* Fixed bug where `dateRangeInput` did not respect `weekstart` argument. (#1592)

* Fixed #1598: `setBookmarkExclude()` did not work properly inside of modules. (#1599)

* Fixed #1605: sliders did not move when clicked on the bar area. (#1610)

* Fixed #1621: if a `reactiveTimer`'s session was closed before the first time that the `reactiveTimer` fired, then the `reactiveTimer` would not get cleared and would keep firing indefinitely. (#1623)

* Fixed #1634: If brushing on a plot causes the plot to redraw, then the redraw could in turn trigger the plot to redraw again and again. This was due to spurious changes in values of floating point numbers. (#1641)

### Library updates

* Closed #1500: Updated ion.rangeSlider to 2.1.6. (#1540)


# shiny 1.0.0

Shiny has reached a milestone: version 1.0.0! In the last year, we've added two major features that we considered essential for a 1.0.0 release: bookmarking, and support for testing Shiny applications. As usual, this version of Shiny also includes many minor features and bug fixes.

Here are some highlights from this release. For more details, see the full changelog below.

## Support for testing Shiny applications

Shiny now supports automated testing of applications, with the [shinytest](https://github.com/rstudio/shinytest) package. Shinytest has not yet been released on CRAN, but will be soon. (#18, #1464)

## Debounce/throttle reactives

Now there's an official way to slow down reactive values and expressions that invalidate too quickly. Pass a reactive expression to the new `debounce` or `throttle` function, and get back a modified reactive expression that doesn't invalidate as often. (#1510)

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* Added a new `placeholder` argument to `verbatimTextOutput()`. The default is `FALSE`, which means that, if there is no content for this output, no representation of this slot will be made in the UI. Previsouly, even if there was no content, you'd see an empty rectangle in the UI that served as a placeholder. You can set `placeholder = TRUE` to revert back to that look. (#1480)

### New features

* Added support for testing Shiny applications with the shinytest package. (#18, #1464)

* Added `debounce` and `throttle` functions, to control the rate at which reactive values and expressions invalidate. (#1510)

### Minor new features and improvements

* Addressed #1486 by adding a new argument to `observeEvent` and `eventReactive`, called `ignoreInit` (defaults to `FALSE` for backwards compatibility). When set to `TRUE`, the action (i.e. the second argument: `handlerExpr` and `valueExpr`, respectively) will not be triggered when the observer/reactive is first created/initialized. In other words, `ignoreInit = TRUE` ensures that the `observeEvent` (or `eventReactive`) is *never* run right away. For more info, see the documentation (`?observeEvent`). (#1494)

* Added a new argument to `observeEvent` called `once`. When set to `TRUE`, it results in the observer being destroyed (stop observing) after the first time that `handlerExpr` is run (i.e. `once = TRUE` guarantees that the observer only runs, at most, once). For more info, see the documentation (`?observeEvent`). (#1494)

* Addressed #1358: more informative error message when calling `runApp()` inside of an app's app.R (or inside ui.R or server.R). (#1482)

* Added a more descriptive JS warning for `insertUI()` when the selector argument does not match anything in DOM. (#1488)

* Added support for injecting JavaScript code when the `shiny.testmode` option is set to `TRUE`. This makes it possible to record test events interactively. (#1464)

* Added ability through arguments to the `a` tag function called inside `downloadButton()` and `downloadLink()`. Closes #986. (#1492)

* Implemented #1512: added a `userData` environment to `session`, for storing arbitrary session-related variables. Generally, session-scoped variables are created just by declaring normal variables that are local to the Shiny server function, but `session$userData` may be more convenient for some advanced scenarios. (#1513)

* Relaxed naming requirements for `addResourcePath()` (the first character no longer needs to be a letter). (#1529)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #969: allow navbarPage's `fluid` param to control both containers. (#1481)

* Fixed #1438: `unbindAll()` should not be called when inserting content with `insertUI()` (#1449)

* Fixed bug causing `<meta>` tags associated with HTML dependencies of Shiny R Markdown files to be rendered incorrectly. (#1463)

* Fixed #1359: `shinyApp()` options argument ignored when passed to `runApp()`. (#1483)

* Fixed #117: Reactive expressions now release references to cached values as soon as they are invalidated, potentially making those cached values eligible for garbage collection sooner. Previously, this would not occur until the next cached value was calculated and stored. (#1504)

* Fixed #1013: `flushReact` should be called after app loads. Observers set up outside of server functions were not running until after the first user connects. (#1503)

* Fixed #1453: When using a modal dialog with `easyClose=TRUE` in a Shiny gadget, pressing Esc would close both the modal and the gadget. Now pressing Esc only closes the modal. (#1523)

### Library updates

* Updated to Font Awesome 4.7.0.


# shiny 0.14.2

This is a maintenance release of Shiny, with some bug fixes and minor new features.

## Full changelog

### Minor new features and improvements

* Added a `fade` argument to `modalDialog()` -- setting it to `FALSE` will remove the usual fade-in animation for that modal window. (#1414)

* Fixed a "duplicate binding" error that occurred in some edge cases involving `insertUI` and nested `uiOutput`. (#1402)

* Fixed #1422: When using the `shiny.trace` option, allow specifying to only log SEND or RECV messages, or both. (PR #1428)

* Fixed #1419: Allow overriding a JS custom message handler. (PR #1445)

* Added `exportTestValues()` function, which allows a test driver to query the session for values internal to an application's server function. This only has an effect if the `shiny.testmode` option is set to `TRUE`. (#1436)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1427: make sure that modals do not close incorrectly when an element inside them is triggered as hidden. (#1430)

* Fixed #1404: stack trace tests were not compatible with the byte-code compiler in R-devel, which now tracks source references.

* `sliderInputBinding.setValue()` now sends a slider's value immediately, instead of waiting for the usual 250ms debounce delay. (#1429)

* Fixed a bug where, in versions of R before 3.2, Shiny applications could crash due to a bug in R's implementation of `list2env()`. (#1446)

# shiny 0.14.1

This is a maintenance release of Shiny, with some bug fixes and minor new features.

## Full changelog

### Minor new features and improvements

* Restored file inputs are now copied on restore, so that the restored application can't modify the bookmarked file. (#1370)

* Added support for plot interaction in the development version of ggplot2, 2.1.0.9000. Also added support for ggplot2 plots with `coord_flip()` (in the development version of ggplot2). ([hadley/ggplot2#1781](https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/1781), #1392)


### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1093 better: `updateRadioButtons()` and `updateCheckboxGroupInput()` were not working correctly if the choices were given as a numeric vector. This had been solved in #1291, but that introduced a different bug #1396 that this better fix avoids. (#1370)

* Fixed #1368: If an app with a file input was bookmarked and restored, and then the restored app was bookmarked and restored (without uploading a new file), then it would fail to restore the file the second time. (#1370)

* Fixed #1369: `sliderInput()` did not allow showing numbers without a thousands separator.

* Fixed #1346 and #1107 : jQuery UI's datepicker conflicted with the bootstrap-datepicker used by Shiny's `dateInput()` and `dateRangeInput()`. (#1374)

### Library updates

* Updated to bootstrap-datepicker 1.6.4. (#1218, #1374)

* Updated to jQuery UI 1.12.1. Previously, Shiny included a build of 1.11.4 which was missing the datepicker component due to a conflict with the bootstrap-datepicker used by Shiny's `dateInput()` and `dateRangeInput()`. (#1374)


# shiny 0.14

A new Shiny release is upon us! There are many new exciting features, bug fixes, and library updates. We'll just highlight the most important changes here, but you can browse through the full changelog below for details. This will likely be the last release before shiny 1.0, so get out your party hats!

## Bookmarkable state

Shiny now supports bookmarkable state: users can save the state of an application and get a URL which will restore the application with that state. There are two types of bookmarking: encoding the state in a URL, and saving the state to the server. With an encoded state, the entire state of the application is contained in the URL’s query string. You can see this in action with this app: https://gallery.shinyapps.io/113-bookmarking-url/. An example of a bookmark URL for this app is https://gallery.shinyapps.io/113-bookmarking-url/?_inputs_&n=200. When the state is saved to the server, the URL might look something like: https://gallery.shinyapps.io/bookmark-saved/?_state_id_=d80625dc681e913a (note that this URL is not for an active app).

**_Important note_:**
> Saved-to-server bookmarking currently works with Shiny Server Open Source. Support on Shiny Server Pro, RStudio Connect, and shinyapps.io is under development and testing. However, URL-encoded bookmarking works on all hosting platforms.

See [this article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/bookmarking-state.html) to get started with bookmarkable state. There is also an [advanced-level article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/advanced-bookmarking.html) (for apps that have a complex state), and [a modules article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/bookmarking-modules.html) that details how to use bookmarking in conjunction with modules.

## Notifications

Shiny can now display notifications on the client browser by using the `showNotification()` function. Use [this demo app](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/116-notifications/) to play around with the notification API. Here's a screenshot of a very simple notification (shown when the button is clicked):

<p align="center">
<img src="http://shiny.rstudio.com/images/notification.png" alt="notification" width="50%"/>
</p>

[Here](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/notifications.html)'s our article about it, and the [reference documentation](https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/shownotification.html).

## Progress indicators

If your Shiny app contains computations that take a long time to complete, a progress bar can improve the user experience by communicating how far along the computation is, and how much is left. Progress bars were added in Shiny 0.10.2. In Shiny 0.14, they were changed to use the notifications system, which gives them a different look.

**_Important note_:**
> If you were already using progress bars and had customized them with your own CSS, you can add the `style = "old"` argument to your `withProgress()` call (or `Progress$new()`). This will result in the same appearance as before. You can also call `shinyOptions(progress.style = "old")` in your app's server function to make all progress indicators use the old styling.

To see new progress bars in action, see [this app](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/085-progress/) in the gallery. You can also learn more about this in [our article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/progress.html) and in the reference documentation (either for the easier [`withProgress` functional API](https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/withprogress.html) or the more complicated, but more powerful, [`Progress` object-oriented API](https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/progress.html).

## Reconnection

Shiny can now automatically reconnect to your Shiny session if you temporarily lose network access.

## Modal windows

Shiny has now built-in support for displaying modal dialogs like the one below ([live app here](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/114-modal-dialog/)):

<p align="center">
<img src="http://shiny.rstudio.com/images/modal-dialog.png" alt="modal-dialog" width="50%"/>
</p>

To learn more about this, read [our article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/modal-dialogs.html) and the [reference documentation](https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/modaldialog.html).

## `insertUI` and `removeUI`

Sometimes in a Shiny app, arbitrary HTML UI may need to be created on-the-fly in response to user input. The existing `uiOutput` and `renderUI` functions let you continue using reactive logic to call UI functions and make the results appear in a predetermined place in the UI. The `insertUI` and `removeUI` functions, which are used in the server code, allow you to use imperative logic to add and remove arbitrary chunks of HTML (all independent from one another), as many times as you want, whenever you want, wherever you want. This option may be more convenient when you want to, for example, add a new model to your app each time the user selects a different option (and leave previous models unchanged, rather than substitute the previous one for the latest one).

See [this simple demo app](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/111-insert-ui/) of how one could use `insertUI` and `removeUI` to insert and remove text elements using a queue. Also see [this other app](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/insertUI/) that demonstrates how to insert and remove a few common Shiny input objects. Finally, [this app](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/insertUI-modules/) shows how to dynamically insert modules using `insertUI`.

For more, read [our article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/dynamic-ui.html) about dynamic UI generation and the reference documentation about [`insertUI`](https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/insertui.html) and [`removeUI`](https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/insertui.html).

## Documentation for connecting to an external database

Many Shiny users have asked about best practices for accessing external databases from their Shiny applications. Although database access has long been possible using various database connector packages in R, it can be challenging to use them robustly in the dynamic environment that Shiny provides. So far, it has been mostly up to application authors to find the appropriate database drivers and to discover how to manage the database connections within an application. In order to demystify this process, we wrote a series of articles ([first one here](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/overview.html)) that covers the basics of connecting to an external database, as well as some security precautions to keep in mind (e.g. [how to avoid SQL injection attacks](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/sql-injections.html)).

There are a few packages that you should look at if you're using a relational database in a Shiny app: the `dplyr` and `DBI` packages (both featured in the article linked to above), and the brand new `pool` package, which provides a further layer of abstraction to make it easier and safer to use either `DBI` or `dplyr`. `pool` is not yet on CRAN. In particular, `pool` will take care of managing connections, preventing memory leaks, and ensuring the best performance. See this [`pool` basics article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/pool-basics.html) and the [more advanced-level article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/pool-advanced.html) if you're feeling adventurous! (Both of these articles contain Shiny app examples that use `DBI` to connect to an external MySQL database.) If you are more comfortable with `dplyr` than `DBI`, don't miss the article about the [integration of `pool` and `dplyr`](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/pool-dplyr.html).

If you're new to databases in the Shiny world, we recommend using `dplyr` and `pool` if possible. If you need greater control than `dplyr` offers (for example, if you need to modify data in the database or use transactions), then use `DBI` and `pool`. The `pool` package was introduced to make your life easier, but in no way constrains you, so we don't envision any situation in which you'd be better off *not* using it. The only caveat is that `pool` is not yet on CRAN, so you may prefer to wait for that.

## Others

There are many more minor features, small improvements, and bug fixes than we can cover here, so we'll just mention a few of the more noteworthy ones (the full changelog, with links to all the relevant issues and pull requests, is right below this section):

*    **Error Sanitization**: you now have the option to sanitize error messages; in other words, the content of the original error message can be suppressed so that it doesn't leak any sensitive information. To sanitize errors everywhere in your app, just add `options(shiny.sanitize.errors = TRUE)` somewhere in your app. Read [this article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/sanitize-errors.html) for more, or play with the [demo app](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/110-error-sanitization/).

*    **Code Diagnostics**: if there is an error parsing `ui.R`, `server.R`, `app.R`, or `global.R`, Shiny will search the code for missing commas, extra commas, and unmatched braces, parens, and brackets, and will print out messages pointing out those problems. (#1126)

*    **Reactlog visualization**: by default, the [`showReactLog()` function](https://shiny.rstudio.com/reference/shiny/latest/reactlog.html) (which brings up the reactive graph) also displays the time that each reactive and observer were active for:

      <p align="center">
      <img src="http://shiny.rstudio.com/images/reactlog.png" alt="modal-dialog" width="75%"/>
      </p>

      This new feature can be turned off with `showReactLog(time = FALSE)`. This may be convenient if you have a large graph and don't want to have this new information cluttering it up. The elapsed time info shows up above each relevant node's label, and the time is also coded by color: the slowest reactive will be dark red and the fastest will be light red.

      Additionally, to organize the graph, you can now drag any of the nodes to a specific position and leave it there.

*    **Nicer-looking tables**: we've made tables generated with `renderTable()` look cleaner and more modern. While this won't break any older code, the finished look of your table will be quite a bit different, as the following image shows:

      <p align="center">
      <img src="http://shiny.rstudio.com/images/render-table.png" alt="render-table" width="75%"/>
      </p>

      For more, read our [short article](https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/render-table.html) about this update, experiment with all the new features in this [demo app](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/109-render-table/), or check out the [reference documentation](https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/rendertable.html).

## Full changelog

### Breaking changes

* Progress indicators can now either use the new notification API, using `style = "notification"` (default), or be displayed with the previous styling, using `style = "old"`. You can also call `shinyOptions(progress.style = "old")` in the server function to make all progress indicators use the old styling. Note that if you had customized your progress indicators with additional CSS, you'll need to use the old style if you want your UI to look the same (#1160 and #1329).

* Closed #1161: Deprecated the `position` argument to `tabsetPanel()` since Bootstrap 3 stopped supporting this feature.

* The long-deprecated ability to pass a `func` argument to many of the `render` functions has been removed.

### New features

* Added the ability to bookmark and restore application state. (main PR: #1209)

* Added a new notification API. From R, there are new functions `showNotification` and `hideNotification`. From JavaScript, there is a new `Shiny.notification` object that controls notifications. (#1141)

* Progress indicators now use the notification API. (#1160)

* Added the ability for the client browser to reconnect to a new session on the server, by setting `session$allowReconnect(TRUE)`. This requires a version of Shiny Server that supports reconnections. (#1074)

* Added modal dialogs. (#1157)

* Added insertUI and removeUI functions to be able to add and remove chunks of UI, standalone, and all independent of one another. (#1174 and #1189)

* Improved `renderTable()` function to make the tables look prettier and also provide the user with a lot more parameters to customize their tables with. (#1129)

* Added support for the `pool` package (use Shiny's timer/scheduler). (#1226)

### Minor new features and improvements

* Added `cancelOutput` argument to `req()`. This causes the currently executing reactive to cancel its execution, and leave its previous state alone (as opposed to clearing the output). (#1272)

* `Display: Showcase` now displays the .js, .html and .css files in the `www` directory by default. In order to use showcase mode and not display these, include a new line in your Description file: `IncludeWWW: False`. (#1185)

* Added an error sanitization option: `options(shiny.sanitize.errors = TRUE)`. By default, this option is `FALSE`. When `TRUE`, normal errors will be sanitized, displaying only a generic error message. This changes the look of an app when errors are printed (but the console log remains the same). (#1156)

* Added the option of passing arguments to an `xxxOutput()` function through the corresponding `renderXXX()` function via an `outputArgs` parameter to the latter. This is only valid for snippets of Shiny code in an interactive `runtime: shiny` Rmd document (never for full apps, even if embedded in an Rmd). (#1443)

* Added `updateActionButton()` function, so the user can change an `actionButton`'s (or `actionLink`'s) label and/or icon. It also checks that the icon argument (for both creation and updating of a button) is valid and throws a warning otherwise. (#1134)

* Added code diagnostics: if there is an error parsing ui.R, server.R, app.R, or global.R, Shiny will search the code for missing commas, extra commas, and unmatched braces, parens, and brackets, and will print out messages pointing out those problems. (#1126)

* Added support for horizontal dividers in `navbarMenu`. (#1147)

* Added `placeholder` option to `passwordInput`. (#1152)

* Added `session$resetBrush(brushId)` (R) and `Shiny.resetBrush(brushId)` (JS) to programatically clear brushes from `imageOutput`/`plotOutput`. (#1197)

* Added textAreaInput. (thanks, [@nuno-agostinho](https://github.com/nuno-agostinho)! #1300)

* Added `session$sendBinaryMessage(type, message)` method for sending custom binary data to the client. See `?session`. (thanks, [@daef](https://github.com/daef)! #1316 and #1320)

* Almost all code examples now have a runnable example with `shinyApp()`, so that users can run the examples and see them in action. (#1158)

* When resized, plots are drawn with `replayPlot()`, instead of re-executing all plotting code. This results in faster plot rendering. (#1112)

* Exported the `isTruthy()` function. (part of PR #1272)

* Reactive log now shows elapsed time for reactives and observers. (#1132)

* Nodes in the reactlog visualization are now sticky if the user drags them. (#1283)

### Bug fixes

* Fixed #1350: Highlighting of reactives didn't work in showcase mode.

* Fixed #1331: `renderPlot()` now correctly records and replays plots when `execOnResize = FALSE`.

* `updateDateInput()` and `updateDateRangeInput()` can now clear the date input fields. (thanks, [@gaborcsardi](https://github.com/gaborcsardi)! #1299, #1315 and  #1317)

* Fixed #561: DataTables previously might pop up a warning when the data was updated extremely frequently.

* Fixed #776: In some browsers, plots sometimes flickered when updated.

* Fixed #543 and #855: When `navbarPage()` had a `navbarMenu()` as the first item, it did not automatically select an item.

* Fixed #970: `navbarPage()` previously did not have an option to set the selected tab.

* Fixed #1253: Memory could leak when an observer was destroyed without first being invalidated.

* Fixed #931: Nested observers could leak memory.

* Fixed #1144: `updateRadioButton()` and `updateCheckboxGroupInput()` broke controls when used in modules (thanks, [@sipemu](https://github.com/sipemu)!).

* Fixed #1093: `updateRadioButtons()` and `updateCheckboxGroupInput()` didn't work if `choices` was numeric vector.

* Fixed #1122: `downloadHandler()` popped up empty browser window if the file wasn't present. It now gives a 404 error code.

* Fixed #1278: Reactive system was being flushed too often (usually this just means a more-expensive no-op than necessary).

* Fixed #803 and #1179: handling malformed dates in `dateInput` and `updateDateInput()`.

* Fixed #1257: `updateSelectInput()` didn't work correctly in IE 11 and Edge.

* Fixed #971: `runApp()` would give confusing error if `port` was not numeric.

* Shiny now avoids using ports that Chrome deems unsafe. (#1222)

* Added workaround for quartz graphics device resolution bug, where resolution is hard-coded to 72 ppi.

### Library updates

* Updated to ion.RangeSlider 2.1.2.

* Updated to Font Awesome 4.6.3.

* Updated to Bootstrap 3.3.7.

* Updated to jQuery 1.12.4.


# shiny 0.13.2

* Updated documentation for `htmlTemplate`.


# shiny 0.13.1

* `flexCol` did not work on RStudio for Windows or Linux.

* Fixed RStudio debugger integration.

* BREAKING CHANGE: The long-deprecated ability to pass functions (rather than expressions) to reactive() and observe() has finally been removed.


# shiny 0.13.0

* Fixed #962: plot interactions did not work with the development version of ggplot2 (after ggplot2 1.0.1).

* Fixed #902: the `drag_drop` plugin of the selectize input did not work.

* Fixed #933: `updateSliderInput()` does not work when only the label is updated.

* Multiple imageOutput/plotOutput calls can now share the same brush id. Shiny will ensure that performing a brush operation will clear any other brush with the same id.

* Added `placeholder` option to `textInput`.

* Improved support for Unicode characters on Windows (#968).

* Fixed bug in `selectInput` and `selectizeInput` where values with double quotes were not properly escaped.

* `runApp()` can now take a path to any .R file that yields a `shinyApp` object; previously, the path had to be a directory that contained an app.R file (or server.R if using separately defined server and UI). Similarly, introduced `shinyAppFile()` function which creates a `shinyApp` object for an .R file path, just as `shinyAppDir()` does for a directory path.

* Introduced Shiny Modules, which are designed to 1) simplify the reuse of Shiny UI/server logic and 2) make authoring and maintaining complex Shiny apps much easier. See the article linked from `?callModule`.

* `invalidateLater` and `reactiveTimer` no longer require an explicit `session` argument; the default value uses the current session.

* Added `session$reload()` method, the equivalent of hitting the browser's Reload button.

* Added `shiny.autoreload` option, which will automatically cause browsers to reload whenever Shiny app files change on disk. This is intended to shorten the feedback cycle when tweaking UI code.

* Errors are now printed with stack traces! This should make it tremendously easier to track down the causes of errors in Shiny. Try it by calling `stop("message")` from within an output, reactive, or observer. Shiny itself adds a lot of noise to the call stack, so by default, it attempts to hide all but the relevant levels of the call stack. You can turn off this behavior by setting `options(shiny.fullstacktrace=TRUE)` before or during app startup.

* Fixed #1018: the selected value of a selectize input is guaranteed to be selected in server-side mode.

* Added `req` function, which provides a simple way to prevent a reactive, observer, or output from executing until all required inputs and values are available. (Similar functionality has been available for a while using validate/need, but req provides a much simpler and more direct interface.)

* Improve stability with Shiny Server when many subapps are used, by deferring the loading of subapp iframes until a connection has first been established with the server.

* Upgrade to Font Awesome 4.5.0.

* Upgraded to Bootstrap 3.3.5.

* Upgraded to jQuery 1.12.4

* Switched to an almost-complete build of jQuery UI with the exception of the datepicker extension, which conflicts with Shiny's date picker.

* Added `fillPage` function, an alternative to `fluidPage`, `fixedPage`, etc. that is designed for apps that fill the entire available page width/height.

* Added `fillRow` and `fillCol` functions, for laying out proportional grids in `fillPage`. For modern browsers only.

* Added `runGadget`, `paneViewer`, `dialogViewer`, and `browserViewer` functions to support Shiny Gadgets. More detailed docs about gadgets coming soon.

* Added support for the new htmltools 0.3 feature `htmlTemplate`. It's now possible to use regular HTML markup to design your UI, but still use R expressions to define inputs, outputs, and HTML widgets.


# shiny 0.12.2

* GitHub changed URLs for gists from .tar.gz to .zip, so `runGist` was updated to work with the new URLs.

* Callbacks from the session object are now guaranteed to execute in the order in which registration occurred.

* Minor bugs in sliderInput's animation behavior have been fixed. (#852)

* Updated to ion.rangeSlider to 2.0.12.

* Added `shiny.minified` option, which controls whether the minified version of shiny.js is used. Setting it to FALSe can be useful for debugging. (#826, #850)

* Fixed an issue for outputting plots from ggplot objects which also have an additional class whose print method takes precedence over `print.ggplot`. (#840, 841)

* Added `width` option to Shiny's input functions. (#589, #834)

* Added two alias functions of `updateTabsetPanel()` to update the selected tab: `updateNavbarPage()` and `updateNavlistPanel()`. (#881)

* All non-base functions are now explicitly namespaced, to pass checks in R-devel.

* Shiny now correctly handles HTTP HEAD requests. (#876)


# shiny 0.12.1

* Fixed an issue where unbindAll() causes subsequent bindAll() to be ignored for previously bound outputs. (#856)

* Undeprecate `dataTableOutput` and `renderDataTable`, which had been deprecated in favor of the new DT package. The DT package is a bit too new and has a slightly different API, we were too hasty in deprecating the existing Shiny functions.


# shiny 0.12.0

In addition to the changes listed below (in the *Full Changelog* section), there is an infrastructure change that could affect existing Shiny apps.

### JSON serialization

In Shiny 0.12.0, we've switched from RJSONIO to jsonlite. For the vast majority of users, this will result in no noticeable changes; however, if you use any packages in your Shiny apps which rely on the [htmlwidgets](http://www.htmlwidgets.org/), you will also need to update htmlwidgets to 0.4.0. Both of these packages will issue a message when loaded, if the other package needs to be upgraded.

POSIXt objects are now serialized to JSON in UTC8601 format (like
"2015-03-20T20:00:00Z"), instead of as seconds from the epoch. If you have a Shiny app which uses `sendCustomMessage()` to send datetime (POSIXt) objects, then you may need to modify your Javascript code to receive time data in this format.

### A note about Data Tables

Shiny 0.12.0 deprecated Shiny's dataTableOutput and renderDataTable functions and instructed you to migrate to the nascent [DT](https://rstudio.github.io/DT/) package instead. (We'll talk more about DT in a future blog post.) User feedback has indicated this transition was too sudden and abrupt, so we've undeprecated these functions in 0.12.1. We'll continue to support these functions until DT has had more time to mature.

## Full Changelog

* Switched from RJSONIO to jsonlite. This improves consistency and speed when converting between R data structures and JSON. One notable change is that POSIXt objects are now serialized to JSON in UTC8601 format (like "2015-03-20T20:00:00Z"), instead of as seconds from the epoch).

* In addition to the existing support for clicking and hovering on plots created by base graphics, added support for double-clicking and brushing. (#769)

* Added support for clicking, hovering, double-clicking, and brushing for plots created by ggplot2, including support for facets. (#802)

* Added `nearPoints` and `brushedPoints` functions for easily selecting rows of data that are clicked/hovered, or brushed. (#802)

* Added `shiny.port` option. If this is option is set, `runApp()` will listen on this port by default. (#756)

* `runUrl`, `runGist`, and `runGitHub` now can save downloaded applications, with the `destdir` argument. (#688)

* Restored ability to set labels for `selectInput`. (#741)

* Travis continuous integration now uses Travis's native R support.

* Fixed encoding issue when the server receives data from the client browser. (#742)

* The `session` object now has class `ShinySession`, making it easier to test whether an object is indeed a session object. (#720, #746)

* Fix JavaScript error when an output appears in nested uiOutputs. (Thanks, Gregory Zhang. #749)

* Eliminate delay on receiving new value when `updateSliderInput(value=...)` is called.

* Updated to DataTables (Javascript library) 1.10.5.

* Fixed downloading of files that have no filename extension. (#575, #753)

* Fixed bug where nested UI outputs broke outputs. (#749, #750)

* Removed unneeded HTML ID attributes for `checkboxGroupInputs` and `radioButtons`. (#684)

* Fixed bug where checkboxes were still active even after `Shiny.unbindAll()` was called. (#206)

* The server side selectize input will load the first 1000 options by default before users start to type and search in the box. (#823)

* renderDataTable() and dataTableOutput() have been deprecated in shiny and will be removed in future versions of shiny. Please use the DT package instead: http://rstudio.github.io/DT/ (#807)


# shiny 0.11.1

* Major client-side performance improvements for pages that have many conditionalPanels, tabPanels, and plotOutputs. (#693, #717, #723)

* `tabPanel`s now use the `title` for `value` by default. This fixes a bug in which an icon in the title caused problems with a conditionalPanel's test condition. (#725, #728)

* `selectInput` now has a `size` argument to control the height of the input box. (#729)

* `navbarPage` no longer includes a first row of extra whitespace when `header=NULL`. (#722)

* `selectInput`s now use Bootstrap styling when `selectize=FALSE`. (#724)

* Better vertical spacing of label for checkbox groups and radio buttons.

* `selectInput` correctly uses width for both selectize and non-selectize inputs. (#702)

* The wrapper tag generated by `htmlOutput` and `uiOutput` can now be any type of HTML tag, instead of just span and div. Also, custom classes are now allowed on the tag. (#704)

* Slider problems in IE 11 and Chrome on touchscreen-equipped Windows computers have been fixed. (#700)

* Sliders now work correctly with draggable panels. (#711)

* Fixed arguments in `fixedPanel`. (#709)

* downloadHandler content callback functions are now invoked with a temp file name that has the same extension as the final filename that will be used by the download. This is to deal with the fact that some file writing functions in R will auto-append the extension for their file type (pdf, zip).


# shiny 0.11

Shiny 0.11 switches away from the Bootstrap 2 web framework to the next version, Bootstrap 3. This is in part because Bootstrap 2 is no longer being developed, and in part because it allows us to tap into the ecosystem of Bootstrap 3 themes.


### Known issues for migration

*    In Bootstrap 3, images in `<img>` tags are no longer automatically scaled to the width of their container. If you use `img()` in your UI code, or `<img>` tags in your raw HTML source, it's possible that they will be too large in the new version of Shiny. To address this you can add the `img-responsive` class:

    ```r
    img(src = "picture.png", class = "img-responsive")
    ```

    The R code above will generate the following HTML:

    ```html
    <img src="picture.png" class="img-responsive">
    ```


*    The sliders have been replaced. Previously, Shiny used the [jslider](https://github.com/egorkhmelev/jslider) library, but now it uses [ion.RangeSlider](https://github.com/IonDen/ion.rangeSlider). The new sliders have an updated appearance, and they have allowed us to fix many long-standing interface issues with the sliders.

  * The `sliderInput()` function no longer uses the `format` or `locale` options. Instead, you can use `pre`, `post`, and `sep` options to control the prefix, postfix, and thousands separator.


  * `updateSliderInput()` can now control the min, max, value, and step size of a slider. Previously, only the value could be controlled this way, and if you wanted to change other values, you needed to use Shiny's dynamic UI.


*    If in your HTML you are using custom CSS classes that are specific to Bootstrap, you may need to update them for Bootstrap 3. See the Bootstrap [migration guide](https://getbootstrap.com/migration/).


If you encounter other migration issues, please let us know on the [shiny-discuss](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/shiny-discuss) mailing list, or on the Shiny [issue tracker](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/issues).

### Using shinybootstrap2

If you would like to use Shiny 0.11 with Bootstrap 2, you can use the **shinybootstrap2** package. Installation and usage instructions are on available on the [project page](https://github.com/rstudio/shinybootstrap2). We recommend that you do this only as a temporary solution because  future development on Shiny will use Bootstrap 3.

### Installing an older version of Shiny

If you want to install a specific version of Shiny other than the latest CRAN release, you can use the `install_version()` function from devtools:

```r
# Install devtools if you don't already have it:
install.package("devtools")

# Install the last version of Shiny prior to 0.11
devtools::install_version("shiny", "0.10.2.2")
```

### Themes

Along with the release of Shiny 0.11, we've packaged up some Bootstrap 3 themes in the [shinythemes](http://rstudio.github.io/shinythemes/) package. This package makes it easy to use Bootstrap themes with Shiny.

## Full Changelog

* Changed sliders from jquery-slider to ion.rangeSlider. These sliders have an improved appearance, support updating more properties from the server, and can be controlled with keyboard input.

* Switched from Bootstrap 2 to Bootstrap 3. For most users, this will work seamlessly, but some users may need to use the shinybootstrap2 package for backward compatibility.

* The UI of a Shiny app can now have a body tag. This is useful for CSS templates that use classes on the body tag.

* `actionButton` and `actionLink` now pass their `...` arguments to the underlying tag function. (#607)

* Added `observeEvent` and `eventReactive` functions for clearer, more concise handling of `actionButton`, plot clicks, and other naturally-imperative inputs.

* Errors that happen in reactives no longer prevent any remaining pending observers from executing. It is also now possible for users to control how errors are handled, with the 'shiny.observer.error' global option. (#603, #604)

* Added an `escape` argument to `renderDataTable()` to escape the HTML entities in the data table for security reasons. This might break tables from previous versions of shiny that use raw HTML in the table content, and the old behavior can be brought back by `escape = FALSE` if you are aware of the security implications. (#627)

* Changed the URI encoding/decoding functions internally to use `encodeURI()`, `encodeURIComponent()`, and `decodeURIComponent()` from the httpuv package instead of `utils::URLencode()` and `utils::URLdecode()`. (#630)

* Shiny's web assets are now minified.

* The default reactive domain is now available in event handler functions. (#669)

* Password input fields can now be used, with `passwordInput()`. (#672)


# shiny 0.10.2.2

* Remove use of `rstudio::viewer` in a code example, for R CMD check.


# shiny 0.10.2.1

* Changed some examples to use \donttest instead of \dontrun.


# shiny 0.10.2

* The minimal version of R required for the shiny package is 3.0.0 now.

* Shiny apps can now consist of a single file, app.R, instead of ui.R and server.R.

* Upgraded DataTables from 1.9.4 to 1.10.2. This might be a breaking change if you have customized the DataTables options in your apps. (More info: https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/pull/558)

* File uploading via `fileInput()` works for Internet Explorer 8 and 9 now. Note: IE8/9 do not support multiple files from a single file input. If you need to upload multiple files, you have to use one file input for each file.

* Switched away from reference classes to R6.

* Reactive log performance has been greatly improved.

* Added `Progress` and `withProgress`, to display the progress of computation on the client browser.

* Fixed #557: updateSelectizeInput(choices, server = TRUE) did not work when `choices` is a character vector.

* Searching in DataTables is case-insensitive and the search strings are not treated as regular expressions by default now. If you want case-sensitive searching or regular expressions, you can use the configuration options `search$caseInsensitive` and `search$regex`, e.g. `renderDataTable(..., options = list(search = list(caseInsensitve = FALSE, regex = TRUE)))`.

* Added support for `htmltools::htmlDependency`'s new `attachment` parameter to `renderUI`/`uiOutput`.

* Exported `createWebDependency`. It takes an `htmltools::htmlDependency` object and makes it available over Shiny's built-in web server.

* Custom output bindings can now render `htmltools::htmlDependency` objects at runtime using `Shiny.renderDependencies()`.

* Fixes to rounding behavior of sliderInput. (#301, #502)

* Updated selectize.js to version 0.11.2. (#596)

* Added `position` parameter to `navbarPage`.


# shiny 0.10.1

* Added Unicode support for Windows. Shiny apps running on Windows must use the UTF-8 encoding for ui.R and server.R (also the optional global.R) if they contain non-ASCII characters. See this article for details and examples: http://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/unicode-characters.html (#516)

* `runGitHub()` also allows the 'username/repo' syntax now, which is equivalent to `runGitHub('repo', 'username')`. (#427)

* `navbarPage()` now accepts a `windowTitle` parameter to set the web browser page title to something other than the title displayed in the navbar.

* Added an `inline` argument to `textOutput()`, `imageOutput()`, `plotOutput()`, and `htmlOutput()`. When `inline = TRUE`, these outputs will be put in `span()` instead of the default `div()`. This occurs automatically when these outputs are created via the inline expressions (e.g. `r renderText(expr)`) in R Markdown documents. See an R Markdown example at http://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/inline-output.html (#512)

* Added support for option groups in the select/selectize inputs. When the `choices` argument for `selectInput()`/`selectizeInput()` is a list of sub-lists and any sub-list is of length greater than 1, the HTML tag `<optgroup>` will be used. See an example at http://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/option-groups-for-selectize-input.html (#542)


# shiny 0.10.0

* BREAKING CHANGE: By default, observers now terminate themselves if they were created during a session and that session ends. See ?domains for more details.

* Shiny can now be used in R Markdown v2 documents, to create "Shiny Docs": reports and presentations that combine narrative, statically computed output, and fully dynamic inputs and outputs. For more info, including examples, see http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/authoring_shiny.html.

* The `session` object that can be passed into a server function (e.g. shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {...})) is now documented: see `?session`.

* Most inputs can now accept `NULL` label values to omit the label altogether.

* New `actionLink` input control; like `actionButton`, but with the appearance of a normal link.

* `renderPlot` now calls `print` on its result if it's visible (i.e. no more explicit `print()` required for ggplot2).

* Introduced Shiny app objects (see `?shinyApp`). These essentially replace the little-advertised ability for `runApp` to take a `list(ui=..., server=...)` as the first argument instead of a directory (though that ability remains for backward compatibility). Unlike those lists, Shiny app objects are tagged with class `shiny.appobj` so they can be run simply by printing them.

* Added `maskReactiveContext` function. It blocks the current reactive context, to evaluate expressions that shouldn't use reactive sources directly. (This should not be commonly needed.)

* Added `flowLayout`, `splitLayout`, and `inputPanel` functions for putting UI elements side by side. `flowLayout` lays out its children in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom arrangement. `splitLayout` evenly divides its horizontal space among its children (or unevenly divides if `cellWidths` argument is provided). `inputPanel` is like `flowPanel`, but with a light grey background, and is intended to be used to encapsulate small input controls wherever vertical space is at a premium.

* Added `serverInfo` to obtain info about the Shiny Server if the app is served through it.

* Added an `inline` argument (TRUE/FALSE) in `checkboxGroupInput()` and `radioButtons()` to allow the horizontal layout (inline = TRUE) of checkboxes or radio buttons. (Thanks, @saurfang, #481)

* `sliderInput` and `selectizeInput`/`selectInput` now use a standard horizontal size instead of filling up all available horizontal space. Pass `width="100%"` explicitly for the old behavior.

* Added the `updateSelectizeInput()` function to make it possible to process searching on the server side (i.e. using R), which can be much faster than the client side processing (i.e. using HTML and JavaScript). See the article at http://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/selectize.html for a detailed introduction.

* Fixed a bug of renderDataTable() when the data object only has 1 row and 1 column. (Thanks, ZJ Dai, #429)

* `renderPrint` gained a new argument 'width' to control the width of the text output, e.g. renderPrint({mtcars}, width = 40).

* Fixed #220: the zip file for a directory created by some programs may not have the directory name as its first entry, in which case runUrl() can fail. (#220)

* `runGitHub()` can also take a value of the form "username/repo" in its first argument, e.g. both runGitHub("shiny_example", "rstudio") and runGitHub("rstudio/shiny_example") are valid ways to run the GitHub repo.


# shiny 0.9.1

* Fixed warning 'Error in Context$new : could not find function "loadMethod"' that was happening to dependent packages on "R CMD check".


# shiny 0.9.0

* BREAKING CHANGE: Added a `host` parameter to runApp() and runExample(), which defaults to the shiny.host option if it is non-NULL, or "127.0.0.1" otherwise. This means that by default, Shiny applications can only be accessed on the same machine from which they are served. To allow other clients to connect, as in previous versions of Shiny, use "0.0.0.0" (or the IP address of one of your network interfaces, if you care to be explicit about it).

* Added a new function `selectizeInput()` to use the JavaScript library selectize.js (https://github.com/brianreavis/selectize.js), which extends the basic select input in many aspects.

* The `selectInput()` function also gained a new argument `selectize = TRUE` to makes use of selectize.js by default. If you want to revert back to the original select input, you have to call selectInput(..., selectize = FALSE).

* Added Showcase mode, which displays the R code for an app right in the app itself. You can invoke Showcase mode by passing `display.mode="showcase"` to the `runApp()` function. Or, if an app is designed to run in Showcase mode by default, add a DESCRIPTION file in the app dir with Title, Author, and License fields; with "Type: Shiny"; and with "DisplayMode: Showcase".

* Upgraded to Bootstrap 2.3.2 and jQuery 1.11.0.

* Make `tags$head()` and `singleton()` behave correctly when used with `renderUI()` and `uiOutput()`. Previously, "hoisting content to the head" and "only rendering items a single time" were features that worked only when the page was initially loading, not in dynamic rendering.

* Files are now sourced with the `keep.source` option, to help with debugging and profiling.

* Support user-defined input parsers for data coming in from JavaScript using the parseShinyInput method.

* Fixed the bug #299: renderDataTable() can deal with 0-row data frames now. (reported by Harlan Harris)

* Added `navbarPage()` and `navbarMenu()` functions to create applications with multiple top level panels.

* Added `navlistPanel()` function to create layouts with a bootstrap navlist on the left and tabPanels on the right

* Added `type` parameter to `tabsetPanel()` to enable the use of pill style tabs in addition to the standard ones.

* Added `position` paramter to `tabsetPanel()` to enable positioning of tabs above, below, left, or right of tab content.

* Added `fluidPage()` and `fixedPage()` functions as well as related row and column layout functions for creating arbitrary bootstrap grid layouts.

* Added `hr()` builder function for creating horizontal rules.

* Automatically concatenate duplicate attributes in tag definitions

* Added `responsive` parameter to page building functions for opting-out of bootstrap responsive css.

* Added `theme` parameter to page building functions for specifying alternate bootstrap css styles.

* Added `icon()` function for embedding icons from the [font awesome](https://fontawesome.com) icon library

* Added `makeReactiveBinding` function to turn a "regular" variable into a reactive one (i.e. reading the variable makes the current reactive context dependent on it, and setting the variable is a source of reactivity).

* Added a function `withMathJax()` to include the MathJax library in an app.

* The argument `selected` in checkboxGroupInput(), selectInput(), and radioButtons() refers to the value(s) instead of the name(s) of the argument `choices` now. For example, the value of the `selected` argument in selectInput(..., choices = c('Label 1' = 'x1', 'Label 2' = 'x2'), selected = 'Label 2') must be updated to 'x2', although names/labels will be automatically converted to values internally for backward compatibility. The same change applies to updateCheckboxGroupInput(), updateSelectInput(), and updateRadioButtons() as well. (#340)

* Now it is possible to only update the value of a checkbox group, select input, or radio buttons using the `selected` argument without providing the `choices` argument in updateCheckboxGroupInput(), updateSelectInput(), and updateRadioButtons(), respectively. (#340)

* Added `absolutePanel` and `fixedPanel` functions for creating absolute- and fixed-position panels. They can be easily made user-draggable by specifying `draggable = TRUE`.

* For the `options` argument of the function `renderDataTable()`, we can pass literal JavaScript code to the DataTables library via `I()`. This makes it possible to use any JavaScript object in the options, e.g. a JavaScript function (which is not supported in JSON). See `?renderDataTable` for details and examples.

* DataTables also works under IE8 now.

* Fixed a bug in DataTables pagination when searching is turned on, which caused failures for matrices as well as empty rows when displaying data frames using renderDataTable().

* The `options` argument in `renderDataTable()` can also take a function that returns a list. This makes it possible to use reactive values in the options. (#392)

* `renderDataTable()` respects more DataTables options now: (1) either bPaginate = FALSE or iDisplayLength = -1 will disable pagination (i.e. all rows are returned from the data); besides, this means we can also use -1 in the length menu, e.g. aLengthMenu = list(c(10, 30, -1), list(10, 30, 'All')); (2) we can disable searching for individual columns through the bSearchable option, e.g. aoColumns = list(list(bSearchable = FALSE), list(bSearchable = TRUE),...) (the search box for the first column is hidden); (3) we can turn off searching entirely (for both global searching and individual columns) using the option bFilter = FALSE.

* Added an argument `callback` in `renderDataTable()` so that a custom JavaScript function can be applied to the DataTable object. This makes it much easier to use DataTables plug-ins.

* For numeric columns in a DataTable, the search boxes support lower and upper bounds now: a search query of the form "lower,upper" (without quotes) indicates the limits [lower, upper]. For a column X, this means the rows corresponding to X >= lower & X <= upper are returned. If we omit either the lower limit or the upper limit, only the other limit will be used, e.g. ",upper" means X <= upper.

* `updateNumericInput(value)` tries to preserve numeric precision by avoiding scientific notation when possible, e.g. 102145 is no longer rounded to 1.0214e+05 = 102140. (Thanks, Martin Loos. #401)

* `sliderInput()` no longer treats a label wrapped in HTML() as plain text, e.g. the label in sliderInput(..., label = HTML('<em>A Label</em>')) will not be escaped any more. (#119)

* Fixed #306: the trailing slash in a path could fail `addResourcePath()` under Windows. (Thanks, ZJ Dai)

* Dots are now legal characters for inputId/outputId. (Thanks, Kevin Lindquist. #358)


# shiny 0.8.0

* Debug hooks are registered on all user-provided functions and (reactive) expressions (e.g., in renderPlot()), which makes it possible to set breakpoints in these functions using the latest version of the RStudio IDE, and the RStudio visual debugging tools can be used to debug Shiny apps. Internally, the registration is done via installExprFunction(), which is a new function introduced in this version to replace exprToFunction() so that the registration can be automatically done.

* Added a new function renderDataTable() to display tables using the JavaScript library DataTables. It includes basic features like pagination, searching (global search or search by individual columns), sorting (by single or multiple columns). All these features are implemented on the R side; for example, we can use R regular expressions for searching. Besides, it also uses the Bootstrap CSS style. See the full documentation and examples in the tutorial: http://rstudio.github.io/shiny/tutorial/#datatables

* Added a new option `shiny.error` which can take a function as an error handler. It is called when an error occurs in an app (in user-provided code), e.g., after we set options(shiny.error = recover), we can enter a specified environment in the call stack to debug our code after an error occurs.

* The argument `launch.browser` in runApp() can also be a function, which takes the URL of the shiny app as its input value.

* runApp() uses a random port between 3000 and 8000 instead of 8100 now. It will try up to 20 ports in case certain ports are not available.

* Fixed a bug for conditional panels: the value `input.id` in the condition was not correctly retrieved when the input widget had a type, such as numericInput(). (reported by Jason Bryer)

* Fixed two bugs in plotOutput(); clickId and hoverId did not give correct coordinates in Firefox, or when the axis limits of the plot were changed. (reported by Chris Warth and Greg D)

* The minimal required version for the httpuv package was increased to 1.2 (on CRAN now).


# shiny 0.7.0

* Stopped sending websocket subprotocol. This fixes a compatibility issue with Google Chrome 30.

* The `input` and `output` objects are now also accessible via `session$input` and `session$output`.

* Added click and hover events for static plots; see `?plotOutput` for details.

* Added optional logging of the execution states of a reactive program, and tools for visualizing the log data. To use, start a new R session and call `options(shiny.reactlog=TRUE)`. Then launch a Shiny app and interact with it. Press Ctrl+F3 (or for Mac, Cmd+F3) in the browser to launch an interactive visualization of the reactivity that has occurred. See `?showReactLog` for more information.

* Added `includeScript()` and `includeCSS()` functions.

* Reactive expressions now have class="reactive" attribute. Also added `is.reactive()` and `is.reactivevalues()` functions.

* New `stopApp()` function, which stops an app and returns a value to the caller of `runApp()`.

* Added the `shiny.usecairo` option, which can be used to tell Shiny not to use Cairo for PNG output even when it is installed. (Defaults to `TRUE`.)

* Speed increases for `selectInput()` and `radioButtons()`, and their corresponding updater functions, for when they have many options.

* Added `tagSetChildren()` and `tagAppendChildren()` functions.

* The HTTP request object that created the websocket is now accessible from the `session` object, as `session$request`. This is a Rook-like request environment that can be used to access HTTP headers, among other things. (Note: When running in a Shiny Server environment, the request will reflect the proxy HTTP request that was made from the Shiny Server process to the R process, not the request that was made from the web browser to Shiny Server.)

* Fix `getComputedStyle` issue, for IE8 browser compatibility (#196). Note: Shiny Server is still required for IE8/9 compatibility.

* Add shiny.sharedSecret option, to require the HTTP header Shiny-Shared-Secret to be set to the given value.


# shiny 0.6.0

* `tabsetPanel()` can be directed to start with a specific tab selected.

* Fix bug where multiple file uploads with 3 or more files result in incorrect data.

* Add `withTags()` function.

* Add dateInput and dateRangeInput.

* `shinyServer()` now takes an optional `session` argument, which is used for communication with the session object.

* Add functions to update values of existing inputs on a page, instead of replacing them entirely.

* Allow listening on domain sockets.

* Added `actionButton()` to Shiny.

* The server can now send custom JSON messages to the client. On the client side, functions can be registered to handle these messages.

* Callbacks can be registered to be called at the end of a client session.

* Add ability to set priority of observers and outputs. Each priority level gets its own queue.

* Fix bug where the presence of a submit button would prevent sending of metadata until the button was clicked.

* `reactiveTimer()` and `invalidateLater()` by default no longer invalidate reactive objects after the client session has closed.

* Shiny apps can be run without a server.r and ui.r file.


# shiny 0.5.0

* Switch from websockets package for handling websocket connections to httpuv.

* New method for detecting hidden output objects. Instead of checking that height and width are 0, it checks that the object or any ancestor in the DOM has style display:none.

* Add `clientData` reactive values object, which carries information about the client. This includes the hidden status of output objects, height/width plot output objects, and the URL of the browser.

* Add `parseQueryString()` function.

* Add `renderImage()` function for sending arbitrary image files to the client, and its counterpart, `imageOutput()`.

* Add support for high-resolution (Retina) displays.

* Fix bug #55, where `renderTable()` would throw error with an empty data frame.


# shiny 0.4.1

* Fix bug where width and height weren't passed along properly from `reactivePlot` to `renderPlot`.

* Fix bug where infinite recursion would happen when `reactivePlot` was passed a function for width or height.


# shiny 0.4.0

* Added suspend/resume capability to observers.

* Output objects are automatically suspended when they are hidden on the user's web browser.

* `runGist()` accepts GitHub's new URL format, which includes the username.

* `reactive()` and `observe()` now take expressions instead of functions.

* `reactiveText()`, `reactivePlot()`, and so on, have been renamed to `renderText()`, `renderPlot()`, etc.  They also now take expressions instead of functions.

* Fixed a bug where empty values in a numericInput were sent to the R process as 0. They are now sent as NA.


# shiny 0.3.1

* Fix issue #91: bug where downloading files did not work.

* Add [[<- operator for shinyoutput object, making it possible to assign values with `output[['plot1']] <- ...`.

* Reactive functions now preserve the visible/invisible state of their returned values.


# shiny 0.3.0

* Reactive functions are now evaluated lazily.

* Add `reactiveValues()`.

* Using `as.list()` to convert a reactivevalues object (like `input`) to a list is deprecated. The new function `reactiveValuesToList()` should be used instead.

* Add `isolate()`. This function is used for accessing reactive functions, without them invalidating their parent contexts.

* Fix issue #58: bug where reactive functions are not re-run when all items in a checkboxGroup are unchecked.

* Fix issue #71, where `reactiveTable()` would return blank if the first element of a data frame was NA.

* In `plotOutput`, better validation for CSS units when specifying width and height.

* `reactivePrint()` no longer displays invisible output.

* `reactiveText()` no longer displays printed output, only the return value from a function.

* The `runGitHub()` and `runUrl()` functions have been added, for running Shiny apps from GitHub repositories and zip/tar files at remote URLs.

* Fix issue #64, where pressing Enter in a textbox would cause a form to submit.


# shiny 0.2.4

* `runGist` has been updated to use the new download URLs from https://gist.github.com.

* Shiny now uses `CairoPNG()` for output, when the Cairo package is available. This provides better-looking output on Linux and Windows.


# shiny 0.2.3

* Ignore request variables for routing purposes


# shiny 0.2.2

* Fix CRAN warning (assigning to global environment)


# shiny 0.2.1

* [BREAKING] Modify API of `downloadHandler`: The `content` function now takes a file path, not writable connection, as an argument. This makes it much easier to work with APIs that only write to file paths, not connections.


# shiny 0.2.0

* Fix subtle name resolution bug--the usual symptom being S4 methods not being invoked correctly when called from inside of ui.R or server.R


# shiny 0.1.14

* Fix slider animator, which broke in 0.1.10


# shiny 0.1.13

* Fix temp file leak in reactivePlot


# shiny 0.1.12

* Fix problems with runGist on Windows

* Add feature for on-the-fly file downloads (e.g. CSV data, PDFs)

* Add CSS hooks for app-wide busy indicators


# shiny 0.1.11

* Fix input binding with IE8 on Shiny Server

* Fix issue #41: reactiveTable should allow print options too

* Allow dynamic sizing of reactivePlot (i.e. using a function instead of a fixed value)


# shiny 0.1.10

* Support more MIME types when serving out of www

* Fix issue #35: Allow modification of untar args

* headerPanel can take an explicit window title parameter

* checkboxInput uses correct attribute `checked` instead of `selected`

* Fix plot rendering with IE8 on Shiny Server


# shiny 0.1.9

* Much less flicker when updating plots

* More customizable error display

* Add `includeText`, `includeHTML`, and `includeMarkdown` functions for putting text, HTML, and Markdown content from external files in the application's UI.


# shiny 0.1.8

* Add `runGist` function for conveniently running a Shiny app that is published on gist.github.com.

* Fix issue #27: Warnings cause reactive functions to stop executing.

* The server.R and ui.R filenames are now case insensitive.

* Add `wellPanel` function for creating inset areas on the page.

* Add `bootstrapPage` function for creating new Bootstrap based layouts from scratch.


# shiny 0.1.7

* Fix issue #26: Shiny.OutputBindings not correctly exported.

* Add `repeatable` function for making easily repeatable versions of random number generating functions.

* Transcode JSON into UTF-8 (prevents non-ASCII reactivePrint values from causing errors on Windows).


# shiny 0.1.6

* Import package dependencies, instead of attaching them (with the exception of websockets, which doesn't currently work unless attached).

* conditionalPanel was animated, now it is not.

* bindAll was not correctly sending initial values to the server; fixed.


# shiny 0.1.5

* BREAKING CHANGE: JS APIs Shiny.bindInput and Shiny.bindOutput removed and replaced with Shiny.bindAll; Shiny.unbindInput and Shiny.unbindOutput removed and replaced with Shiny.unbindAll.

* Add file upload support (currently only works with Chrome and Firefox). Use a normal HTML file input, or call the `fileInput` UI function.

* Shiny.unbindOutputs did not work, now it does.

* Generally improved robustness of dynamic input/output bindings.

* Add conditionalPanel UI function to allow showing/hiding UI based on a JS expression; for example, whether an input is a particular value. Also works in raw HTML (add the `data-display-if` attribute to the element that should be shown/hidden).

* htmlOutput (CSS class `shiny-html-output`) can contain inputs and outputs.


# shiny 0.1.4

* Allow Bootstrap tabsets to act as reactive inputs; their value indicates which tab is active

* Upgrade to Bootstrap 2.1

* Add `checkboxGroupInput` control, which presents a list of checkboxes and returns a vector of the selected values

* Add `addResourcePath`, intended for reusable component authors to access CSS, JavaScript, image files, etc. from their package directories

* Add Shiny.bindInputs(scope), .unbindInputs(scope), .bindOutputs(scope), and .unbindOutputs(scope) JS API calls to allow dynamic binding/unbinding of HTML elements


# shiny 0.1.3

* Introduce Shiny.inputBindings.register JS API and InputBinding class, for creating custom input controls

* Add `step` parameter to numericInput

* Read names of input using `names(input)`

* Access snapshot of input as a list using `as.list(input)`

* Fix issue #10: Plots in tabsets not rendered


# shiny 0.1.2

* Initial private beta release!
