locatexec 0.2.0 (2026-05-25)

• Add detection of the 'air' executable (R formatter).
• Add detection of the 'Pandoc' executable.
• Make version parsing robust: an executable emitting an unexpected --version output (e.g. the Firefox snap wrapper on Ubuntu) no longer raises "invalid version specification" but is reported as not found.
• Fix min_version_available(version=...)
• Set NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 when calling node/npm to avoid leaving a node-compile-cache directory in the temp directory.

locatexec 0.1.1 (2021-05-19)

• Added some timeout when system2 is called.
• change python reference order for execs, see .exec_names$python and .exec_names$pip
