• wrapStringAddin() now wraps short strings in paste0() as well. Previously, strings that were too short to be split were not wrapped.

• Adds insertExpectationsCopyEnvAddin() addin. Same as insertExpectationsAddin() but where code is evaluated in a deep copy of the parent environment. This is especially useful when testing a function that alters non-local variables and has side effects (error/warnings/messages).

• Multiple functions now allow working on a deep copy of the environment (see new copy_env argument). This is useful when testing a function that alters non-local variables. It is disabled by default to save memory.

• gxs_function() now allows parallelization of the expectation generation process. Requires a backend, as setup with doParallel::registerDoParallel(4). Remember to set parallel = TRUE when calling gxs_function().

• strip() and strip_msg() now strips ANSI control sequences by default.

• strip() and strip_msg() can now make the strings lowercase (disabled by default).

• capture_side_effects() disables crayon locally before evaluating the expression (by default). Avoids ANSI control sequences in messages.

• capture_parse_eval_side_effects() now has the same options as capture_side_effects().

• Bug fix: "Assigned data "NULL" must be compatible with existing data."
