Makevars.in / Makevars.win.in templates installed by use_extendr()
now pass identical RUSTFLAGS, @PANIC_EXPORTS@ (Unix), and @PROFILE@
to both the cargo build --lib and cargo run --bin document invocations.
Previously the second invocation ran with neither, which gave it a different
fingerprint and caused cargo to rebuild every dependency from scratch on
package install. (extendr/extendr#1087)use_extendr() now generates cleanup and cleanup.win. (#473)rust_source() and rust_function() (#478)

directory after creating the vendor.tar.xz file. (#479)update_scaffold() to overwrite scaffolding, making it easier to update
packages to track developments in extendr and rextendr. (#493)write_license_note() is now marked as experimental. The authors field in
Cargo metadata is deprecated upstream (https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/16458)
and crates may stop populating it, leading to incomplete author information.vendor_pkgs() has been renamed to vendor_crates() to better reflect that
it vendors Rust crates. vendor_pkgs() is soft-deprecated and will be removed
in a future release.rextendr::document() is now a thin wrapper around devtools::document()
and is soft deprecated. Packages created with use_extendr() no longer
require it. It is retained for backwards compatibility.register_extendr() is no longer called in rextendr::document() and is
soft deprecated. The function itself is no-op and now returns a lifecycle
warning.register_extendr() effectively nullifies the PkgGen CI tests,
so those have been removed.use_extendr() now generates src/rust/document.rs and adds a [[bin]]
target to Cargo.toml with crate-type = ["rlib", "staticlib"].rust_eval() now returns extendr_api::error::Result<Robj>.R/extendr-wrappers.R has also been updated to reflect these
changes, which required a concurrent PR to extendr (extendr/extendr#1048).Makevars(.win) now uses the vendor/, if it exists, before unzipping the
tarball. (#479)entrypoint.c now registers extendr's panic handler. (#499)callr has been removed as a dependency.extendr-api version to the latest stable version instead of "*" when creating a new package.

Additionally, use_extendr() now automatically calls use_vscode() when VSCode or Positron is detected as the IDE (#441).

Support Rtools43 (#231).
rextendr has migrated to the use of cli for raising errors and warnings.
Developer note: new helper function local_quiet_cli() introduced in R/utils.R to simplify silencing cli output.
A new function rust_sitrep() that prints out a short report on the currently installed Rust toolchain (#274).
A new function write_license_note() to generate LICENSE.note file from Cargo.toml (#271).
extendr_fn_options parameter of rust_source() controls what type of options are emitted to #[extendr()] attribute (#252).
use_dev_extendr flag makes rust_source() family of functions compile code using development version of extendr.
Development configuration is stored as an option named rextendr.extendr_dev_deps (#251).

features not available in release version of extendr raises a warning (#249).
A <pkg_name>-win.def file containing DLL exports is created by rextendr::use_extendr(). It is used during linking phase on Windows and solves the problem of compiling very large projects, such as polars (#212)
