purrr 1.2.0

This release tightens up the package by removing long-deprecated functions, making map_chr() and predicate functions more type-safe, and requiring a newer version of carrier to make in_parallel() use easier. It also includes performance improvements to every(), some(), and none(), as well as a new getting started vignette

stringr 1.6.0

This release deprecates str_like(ignore_case) and changes the behaviour of str_replace_all() for function replacements. It also introduces str_ilike() for case-insensitive SQL-like pattern matching, three new case conversion functions (str_to_camel(), str_to_snake(), and str_to_kebab()), and preserves names in all relevant functions
