# pak 0.8.0* `pkg_deps()` now accepts a vector of package names.* The metadata cache now does not use source URLs for packages in `Archive`  on Posit Package Manager repositories. This URLs may serve a different  package, even a source package when the main URL for the same package  serves a binary package. The alternative URLs are not needed on PPM,  anyway, because PPM is in a consistent state w.r.t. metadata and  package files (#623).* pak now supports `gitlab::` package sources better, by adding  explicit syntax to specify subdirectories (r-lib/pkgdepends#353,@dgkf).* `gitlab::` and `git::` package sources now support git submodules if  the `git-submodules` configuration option is set to `TRUE`. See  `?"pak-config"` (r-lib/pkgdepends#354).* The new `?ignore-unavailable` parameter makes it easy to ignore soft  dependencies that are unavailable (#606).* pak now automatically ignores soft dependencies that have an  incompatible OS type (`OS_type` entry in `DESCRIPTION`) when installing  packages.* `repo_add()` and the `ppm_*()` functions, e.g. `ppm_snapshots()`, now  work again after the PPM API changes  (r-lib/pkgcache#110,r-lib/pkgcache#115).# pak 0.7.2* pak now supports using parameters for all packages with the  `*=?<param>` form. E.g. `*=?source` installs all packages from source.* pak now supports R 4.4.0 again, and also Rtools44.
