ggplot2 2.2.0 coming soon! by Hadley Wickham.
From the post:
I’m planning to release ggplot2 2.2.0 in early November. In preparation, I’d like to announce that a release candidate is now available: version 2.1.0.9001. Please try it out, and file an issue on GitHub if you discover any problems. I hope we can find and fix any major issues before the official release.
Install the pre-release version with:
# install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("hadley/ggplot2")If you discover a major bug that breaks your plots, please file a minimal reprex, and then roll back to the released version with:
install.packages("ggplot2")ggplot2 2.2.0 will be a relatively major release including:
- Subtitles and captions.
- A large rewrite of the facetting system.
- Improved theme options.
- Better stacking
- Numerous bug fixes and minor improvements.
The majority of this work was carried out by Thomas Pederson, who I was lucky to have as my “ggplot2 intern” this summer. Make sure to check out other visualisation packages: ggraph, ggforce, and tweenr.
…
Just in case you are casual about time, tomorrow is October 1st. Which on most calendars means that “early November” isn’t far off.
Here’s an easy opportunity to test ggplot2.2.2.0 and related visualization packages. Before the official release.
Enjoy!
