secretbase

targets 1.7.0

Invalidating changes

• Use secretbase::siphash13() instead of digest(algo = "xxhash64", serializationVersion = 3) so hashes of in-memory objects no longer depend on serialization version 3 headers (#1244, @shikokuchuo). Unfortunately, pipelines built with earlier versions of targets will need to rerun.

Other improvements

• Ensure patterns marshal properly (#1266, #1264, njtierney/geotargets#52, @Aariq, @njtierney).
• Inform and prompt the user when the pipeline was built with an old version of targets and changes to the package will cause the current work to rerun (#1244). For the tar_make*() functions, utils::menu() prompts the user to give people a chance to downgrade if necessary.
• For type safety in the internal database class, read all columns as character vectors in data.table::fread(), then convert them to the correct types afterwards.
• Add a new tar_resources_custom_format() function which can pass environment variables to customize the behavior of custom tar_format() storage formats (#1263, #1232, @Aariq, @noamross).
• Only marshal dependencies if actually sending the target to a parallel worker.
