# pak 0.7.1* pak can now handle the case when `Config/Needs/*` dependencies  are requested for package from a repository.* pak uses safer `*printf()` format strings now.# pak 0.7.0* pak now correctly handles the latest GitHub release with  the `@*release` notation (@pawelru,r-lib/pkgdepends#321)* pak now correctly handles having multiple instances of the same  package in the metadata, with different R version requirements  (#534, #538,r-lib/pkgdepends#331).* `git::` package references work better now for Azure DevOps  (@jameslairdsmith,r-lib/pkgdepends#333,r-lib/pkgdepends#342).* pak now does a better job at accepting installed packages, and  avoids reinstalling more packages than needed when using a lock file  (r-lib/actions#759,r-lib/pkgdepends#338).# pak 0.6.0* pak now requires R >= 3.5.0.* Many improvements in system requirements support:  - New functions:    - `pkg_sysreqs()`: calculate system requirements of packages.    - `sysreqs_db_list()`, `sysreqs_db_match()`, `sysreqs_db_update()`:      query the system requirements database.    - `sysreqs_list_system_packages()`, `sysreqs_check_installed()`,      `sysreqs_fix_installed()`: query and install missing system packages.    - `sysreqs_platforms()`: list supported platforms.  - The installation proposal, printed before installation, now includes    required and missing system packages, on supported platforms.  - New `sysreqs_platform` configuration option to override the auto-detected    platform.  - Faster, asynchronous system requirements lookup.  - pak now does not reinstall system requirements by default,    if they are already installed. (You can force a reinstall/upgrade    with the `sysreqs_update` configuration option.)* New `gitlab::` package source to install packages from GitLab  (r-lib/pkgdepends#315).* pak now correctly parses multiple `git::` packages at once  (r-lib/pkgdepends#318).* `git::` package sources now support version 1 of the git protocol.  E.g. the Bioconductor git repositories now work:  `git::https://git.bioconductor.org/packages/limma`  (r-lib/pkgdepends#314).* The `platforms` config parameter now works correctly with `deps::`  package sources (#522).* New `include_linkingto` config parameter to always include `LinkingTo`  packages in the solution, even for binaries  (https://github.com/r-lib/pkgdepends/issues/485).* `pkg_name_check()` now does not include Acromine results, because the web  site was unstable.* In `repo_add()` and `repo_resolve()` the `MRAN@` prefix is now deprecated  and resolves to PPM, because MRAN will be retired soon. See more at  <https://posit.co/blog/migrating-from-mran-to-posit-package-manager/>.* The metadata cache now has `SystemRequirements` information for Bioconductor  packages.
