dplyr 0.7.0

This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://www.rstudio.com/blog/dplyr-0-7-0


I’m pleased to announce that dplyr 0.7.0 is now on CRAN! (This was dplyr 0.6.0 previously; more on that below.) dplyr provides a “grammar” of data transformation, making it easy and elegant to solve the most common data manipulation challenges. dplyr supports multiple backends: as well as in-memory data frames, you can also use it with remote SQL databases. If you haven’t heard of dplyr before, the best place to start is the Data transformation chapter in R for Data Science.
