tibble 1.0.0

By hadleywickham

I’m pleased to announce tibble, a new package for manipulating and printing data frames in R. Tibbles are a modern reimagining of the data.frame, keeping what time has proven to be effective, and throwing out what is not. The name comes from dplyr: originally you created these objects with tbl_df(), which was most easily pronounced as “tibble diff”.

Install tibble with:

install.packages("tibble")

This package extracts out the tbl_df class associated functions from dplyr. Kirill Müller extracted the code from dplyr, enhanced the tests, and added a few minor improvements.
