1/ Some big changes are coming to the #tidyverse in the coming months, so I thought I'd break them down here for my #Rstats friends:
2/ Two cool functions are coming to stringr - str_like() function to use SQL wildcard characters, and str_sub_all() function to return multiple substrings
3/ dplyr is getting a case_match() function that matches on values rather than logical expressions, and group_by() is getting a faster algorithm
4/ Join verbs in dplyr are also getting completed redone, by allowing join specifications on unquoted column names (i.e. join_by(x == y)). Also rolling and non-equi joins to join on specific conditions like join_by(x >= y)
5/ purrr is getting a new map_vec() function that behaves similar to map_int() but works on all types of vectors (like dates and factors)
6/ There's a lot more coming - but I thought these were the coolest things I've found - check out all of it in the NEWS.md file from each repo here- github.com/tidyverse
