Changes in version 0.5.6                        

Main features

  - geom_point_plus(), a fill+color point geom with a more
    distinguishable custom shape palette, plus the ability to add custom
    shapes via add_shape_plus().
  - geom_jitter_plus(), a jittered wrapper around geom_point_plus().
  - theme_plus() for Universal Design-inspired ggplot2 defaults.
  - gridlines_plus() and yaxis_title_plus() helpers for thoughtful
    gridlines on continuous scales only and horizontally oriented y-axis
    titles, respectively.
  - scale_continuous_plus() for forcing labels near the endpoints of
    continuous scales.
  - direct_labels_plus() for directly labeling point and line geometries
    as an alternative to a legend.
  - scale_focus_plus() for using color to create a "focus mode" version
    of a graph to visually emphasize some groups and de-emphasize
    others.

Latest features

  - direct_labels_plus() added as an experimental/trial feature.
  - scale_focus_plus() added as an experimental/trial feature.
  - Coaching messages for plots with too many requested discrete colour,
    fill, or shape values for easy distinguishability.
  - Coaching messages when scale titles appear to use raw column names
    instead of something potentially more human-readable.
  - Added a session-level option, ggplotplus.enable_coaching, to disable
    coaching messages globally.
  - Helper functions supporting use of ggplotplus graphs with cowplot
    and patchwork. See ggplotplus_to_*.
