# duckplyr 1.1.3 (2025-11-04)

## Features

- `read_file_duckdb()` only wraps `path` into a list if the length is not equal to one, to support `read_stat()`.

## Continuous integration

- Avoid example failing in R 4.2 and older.

## Documentation

- Add "Supported by Posit" badge.


# duckplyr 1.1.2 (2025-09-17)

## Features

- Fully support `dd::...()` syntax (#795).

- Threshold for `prudence = "thrifty"` is reduced to 1000 cells when the data comes from a remote data source.

- Support named arguments for `dd::...()` functions.

## Performance

- Generate a more balanced expresion when translating `%in%` to avoid performance problems in duckdb v1.4.0.


# duckplyr 1.1.1 (2025-07-29)

## Chore

- Fix CRAN failure with `_R_CHECK_THINGS_IN_OTHER_DIRS_=true`.


# duckplyr 1.1.0 (2025-05-08)

This release improves compatibility with dbplyr and DuckDB.
See `vignette("duckdb")` for details.

## Features

- Pass functions prefixed with `dd$` directly to DuckDB, e.g., `dd$ROW()` will be translated as DuckDB's `ROW()` function (#658).

- New `as_tbl()` to convert to a dbplyr tbl object (#634, #685).

- Register Ark methods for Positron's "Variables" pane (@DavisVaughan, #661, #678). DuckDB tibbles are no longer displayed as data frames in the "Variables" pane due to a limitation in Positron. Use `collect()` to convert them to data frames if you rely on the viewer functionality.

- Translate `n_distinct()` as macro with support for `na.rm = TRUE` (@joakimlinde, #572, #655).

- Translate `coalesce()`.

- `compute()` does not have a fallback, failures are reported to the client (#637).

- Implement `slice_head()` (#640).

## Bug fixes

- Set functions like `union()` no longer trigger materialization (#654, #692).

- Joins no longer materialize the input data when the package is used with `methods_overwrite()` or `library(duckplyr)` (#641).

- Correct formatting for controlled fallbacks with `Sys.setenv(DUCKPLYR_FALLBACK_INFO = TRUE)`.

## Chore

- Bump duckdb and pillar dependencies.

- Use roxyglobals from CRAN rather than GitHub (@andreranza, #659).

- Bring tools and patch up to date (@joakimlinde, #647).

- Internal `rel_to_df()` needs `prudence` argument (#644).

- Fix sync scripts and add reproducible code (#639).

- Check loadability of extensions in test (#636).

## Documentation

- Document `slice_head()` as supported.

- Add Posit's ROR ID (#592).

- Add `vignette("duckdb")` (#690).

- Add experimental badge.

- Verbose `conflict_prefer()` (#667, #684).

- Typos + clarification edits to "large" vignette (@mine-cetinkaya-rundel, #665).

## Testing

- Skip tests using `grep()` or `sub()` on CRAN.


# duckplyr 1.0.1 (2025-02-21)

## Bug fixes

- Show source of error if data frame cannot be converted to duck frame (#614).

- Correct formatting for controlled fallbacks with `Sys.setenv(DUCKPLYR_FALLBACK_INFO = TRUE)`

## Chore

- Require duckdb \>= 1.2.0 (#619).

- Break this version with duckdb 2.0.0 (#623).

## Documentation

- Separate `?compute_parquet` and `?compute_csv` (#610, #622).

- Italicize book title in README (@wibeasley, #607).

- Fix typo in `filter(.by = ...)` error message (@maelle, #611).

- Fix link in documentation (#600, #601).


# duckplyr 1.0.0 (2025-02-02)

## Features

### Large data

- Improved support for handling large data from files and S3: ingestion with `read_parquet_duckdb()` and others, and materialization with `as_duckdb_tibble()`, `compute.duckplyr_df()` and `compute_file()`. See `vignette("large")` for details.

- Control automatic materialization of duckplyr frames with the new `prudence` argument to `as_duckdb_tibble()`, `duckdb_tibble()`, `compute.duckplyr_df()` and `compute_file()`. See `vignette("prudence")` for details.

### New functions

- `read_csv_duckdb()` and others, deprecating `duckplyr_df_from_csv()` and `df_from_csv()` (#210, #396, #459).

- `read_sql_duckdb()` (experimental) to run SQL queries against the default DuckDB connection and return the result as a duckplyr frame (duckdb/duckdb-r#32, #397).

- `db_exec()` to execute configuration queries against the default duckdb connection (#39, #165, #227, #404, #459).

- `duckdb_tibble()` (#382, #457).

- `as_duckdb_tibble()`, replaces `as_duckplyr_tibble()` and `as_duckplyr_df()` (#383, #457) and supports dbplyr connections to a duckdb database (#86, #211, #226).

- `compute_parquet()` and `compute_csv()`, implement `compute.duckplyr_df()` (#409, #430).

- `fallback_config()` to create a configuration file for the settings that do not affect behavior (#216, #426).

- `is_duckdb_tibble()`, deprecates `is_duckplyr_df()` (#391, #392).

- `last_rel()` to retrieve the last relation object used in materialization (#209, #375).

- Add `"prudent_duckplyr_df"` class that stops automatic materialization and requires `collect()` (#381, #390).

### Translations

- Partial support for `across()` in `mutate()` and `summarise()` (#296, #306, #318, @lionel-, @DavisVaughan).

- Implement `na.rm` handling for `sum()`, `min()`, `max()`, `any()` and `all()`, with fallback for window functions (#205, #566).

- Add support for `sub()` and `gsub()` (@toppyy, #420).

- Handle `dplyr::desc()` (#550).

- Avoid forwarding `is.na()` to `is.nan()` to support non-numeric data, avoid checking roundtrip for timestamp data (#482).

- Correctly handle missing values in `if_else()`.

- Limit number of items that can be handled with `%in%` (#319).

- `duckdb_tibble()` checks if columns can be represented in DuckDB (#537).

- Fall back to dplyr when passing `multiple` with joins (#323).

### Error messages

- Improve fallback error message by explicitly materializing (#432, #456).

- Point to the native CSV reader if encountering data frames read with readr (#127, #469).

- Improve `as_duckdb_tibble()` error message for invalid `x` (@maelle, #339).

### Behavior

- Depend on dplyr instead of reexporting all generics (#405). Nothing changes for users in scripts. When using duckplyr in a package, you now also need to import dplyr.

- Fallback logging is now on by default, can be disabled with configuration (#422).

- The default DuckDB connection is now based on a file, the location defaults to a subdirectory of `tempdir()` and can be controlled with the `DUCKPLYR_TEMP_DIR` environment variable (#439, #448, #561).

- `collect()` returns a tibble (#438, #447).

- `explain()` returns the input, invisibly (#331).

## Bug fixes

- Compute ptype only for join columns in a safe way without materialization, not for the entire data frame (#289).

- Internal `expr_scrub()` (used for telemetry) can handle function-definitions (@toppyy, #268, #271).

- Harden telemetry code against invalid arguments (#321).

## Documentation

- New articles: `vignette("large")`, `vignette("prudence")`, `vignette("fallback")`, `vignette("limits")`, `vignette("developers")`, `vignette("telemetry")` (#207, #504).

- New `flights_df()` used instead of `palmerpenguins::penguins` (#408).

- Move to the tidyverse GitHub organization, new repository URL <https://github.com/tidyverse/duckplyr/> (#225).

- Avoid base pipe in examples for compatibility with R 4.0.0 (#463, #466).

## Performance

- Comparison expressions are translated in a way that allows them to be pushed down to Parquet (@toppyy, #270).

- Printing a duckplyr frame no longer materializes (#255, #378).

- Prefer `vctrs::new_data_frame()` over `tibble()` (#500).

- Reexport non-deprecated dplyr functions (#144, #163).
- `library(duckplyr)` calls `methods_overwrite()` (#164).
- Only allow constant patterns in `grepl()`.
- Explicitly reject calls with named arguments for now.

## Bug fixes

- `is.na(NaN)` is `TRUE`.
- `summarise(count = n(), count = n())` creates only one column named `count`.

## Features

- New `df_to_parquet()` to write to Parquet, new convenience functions `df_from_csv()`, `duckdb_df_from_csv()`, `df_from_parquet()` and `duckdb_df_from_parquet()` (#87, #89, #96, #128).

- Fix division by zero for positive and negative numbers.

## Features

- New `fallback_sitrep()` and related functionality for collecting telemetry data (#102, #107, #110, #111, #115). No data is collected by default, only a message is displayed once per session and then every eight hours. Opt in or opt out by setting environment variables.
- Implement `group_by()` and other methods to collect fallback information (#94, #104, #105).
