nanonext 1.6.2

Updates

• Fixes extremely rare cases of unresolvedValue being returned by fulfilled promises (#163).

nanonext 1.6.1

Updates

• ncurl() and variants now accept request data supplied as a raw vector (thanks @thomasp85, #158).
• cv_reset() now correctly resets the flag in the case a flag event has already been registered with pipe_notify().
• The previous listen() and dial() argument error, removed in v1.6.0, is now defunct.
• The previous serial_config() argument vec, unutilised since v1.6.0, is removed.
• Fixes package installation with 'libmbedtls' in a non-standard filesystem location, even if known to the compiler (thanks @tdhock, #150).
• Bundled 'libnng' updated to 1.11.0 release.

nanonext 1.6.0

New Features

• serial_config() now accepts vector arguments to register multiple custom serialization configurations.
• Adds ip_addr() for returning the local network IPv4 address of all network adapters, named by interface.
• Adds pipe_id() for returning the integer pipe ID for a resolved 'recvAio'.
• Adds write_stdout() which performs a non-buffered write to stdout, to avoid interleaved messages when used concurrently by different processes.
• Adds read_stdin() which performs a read from stdin on a background thread, relayed via an 'inproc' socket so that it may be consumed via recv() or recv_aio().
• request() gains integer argument id. This may be specified to have a special payload sent asynchronously upon timeout (to communicate with the connected party).

Updates

• listen() and dial() argument error is replaced with fail to specify the failure mode - 'warn', 'error', or 'none' to just return an 'errorValue'.
  • Any existing usage of error = TRUE will work only until the next release.
• Partial matching is no longer enabled for the mode argument to send/receive functions.
• send_aio() without keeping a reference to the return value no longer potentially drops sends (thanks @wch, #129).
• pipe_notify() no longer requires any particular sequencing of closing the socket and garbage collection of the socket / 'conditionVariable' (#143).
• More robust interruption on non-Windows platforms when tools::SIGINT is supplied to the flag argument of pipe_notify() (thanks @LennardLux, #97).
• Installation from source specifying 'INCLUDE_DIR' and 'LIB_DIR' environment variables works again, correcting a regression in v1.5.2 (#104).
• Windows bi-arch source builds for R <= 4.1 using rtools40 and earlier work again (regression since v1.5.1) (thanks @daroczig, #107).
• Bundled 'libnng' 1.10.2 pre-release updated with latest patches.
• Package is re-licensed under the MIT license.

nanonext 1.5.2

Updates

• write_cert() argument 'cn' now defaults to '127.0.0.1' instead of 'localhost'.
• messenger() now exits cleanly, correcting a regression in nanonext 1.5.0 (#87).
• Promises created from 'recvAio' and 'ncurlAio' now reject in exactly the same way whether or not they were resolved at time of creation (#89).
• Bundled 'libnng' updated to 1.10.2 pre-release.
  • With this library version, a 'req' socket with option 'req:resend-time' set as 0 now frees the message as soon as the send has completed without waiting for the reply.

nanonext 1.5.1

Updates

• pipe_notify() drops argument 'cv2' for signalling 2 condition variables on one pipe event. Use signal forwarders %~>% instead.
• The abillity to lock() and unlock() sockets is removed.
• Renders it safe to serialize 'nano' and 'aio' objects - they will be inactive when unserialized.
• Unified Windows build system now compiles 'libmbedtls' and 'libnng' from source even on R <= 4.1 using Rtools40 or earlier.
• Minimum supported 'libnng' version increased to 1.9.0.

nanonext 1.5.0

Library Updates

• Bundled 'libnng' updated to latest 1.10.1 release.
• Bundled 'libmbedtls' updated to latest 3.6.2 LTS branch release.

Updates

• nano() updated with the 'poly' protocol, with 'pipe' argument enabled for the send methods.
• write_cert() no longer displays a status message when interactive (thanks @wlandau, #74).
• Removes partial matching when using $, [[ or [ on an object inheriting from class 'nano'.
• Fixes a rare hang on socket close that was possible on Windows platforms for IPC connections (#76).

nanonext 1.4.0

New Features

• New interface to Pipes moves to using integer pipe IDs rather than Pipe (external pointer) objects:
  • send() and send_aio() gain the argument 'pipe' which accepts an integer pipe ID for directed sends (currently only supported by Sockets using the 'poly' protocol).
  • A 'recvAio' now records the integer pipe ID, where successful, at $aio upon resolution.
  • Pipe objects (of class 'nanoPipe') are obsoleted.
• Adds monitor() and read_monitor() for easy monitoring of connection changes (pipe additons and removals) at a Socket.

Updates

• collect_pipe() is removed given the pipe interface changes.

nanonext 1.3.2

Updates

• Hotfix for CRAN (updates to tests only).

nanonext 1.3.1

Updates

• Performs interruptible 'aio' waits using a single dedicated thread, rather than launching new threads, for higher performance and efficiency.
• Performance enhancements for 'ncurlAio' and 'recvAio' promises methods.
• Updates bundled 'libnng' to v1.9.0 stable release.
• The package has a shiny new hex logo.

nanonext 1.3.0

New Features

• Adds support for threaded dispatcher in mirai.
• Adds 'recvAio' method for promises::as.promise() and promises::is.promising() to enable 'recvAio' promises.

Updates

• serial_config() now validates all arguments and returns them as a list. Full validation is also performed when the option is set for additional safety.
• Warning messages for unserialization or conversion failures of received data are now suppressable.
• Upgrades reply() to always return even when there is an evaluation error. This allows it to be used safely in a loop without exiting early, for example.
• Removes deprecated and defunct next_config().
• Internal performance enhancements.
• Updates bundled 'libnng' v1.8.0 with latest patches.
