dplyr 1.2.0 comes with much faster and more memory efficient `if_else()` and `case_when()` functions!
dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and replacing functions!
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
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

All of the dplyr vector functions, like `between()` and `case_when()`, are now powered by vctrs. We've also added two powerful new helpers: `case_match()` and `consecutive_id()`

In dplyr 1.1.0, joins have been greatly reworked, including a new way to specify join columns, support for inequality, rolling, and overlap joins, and two new quality control arguments

`rowwise()` has been renewed and revamped to make it easier to perform operations row-by-row. This makes it much easier to solve problems that previously required `lapply()`, `map()`, or friends
A new `across()` function makes it much easier to apply the same operation to multiple columns. It supersedes the `_if()`, `_at()`, and `_all()` function variants

This post focusses on the idea of the "function lifecycle" which helps you understand where functions in dplyr are going. Particularly important is the idea of a "superseded" function. A superseded function is not going away, but we no longer recommend using it in new code
