News/ChangelogNEWS/Changelog for Rserve--------------------------- 0.5-2 (under development) o add support for XT_VECTOR_EXP in assignments o improve protection for vectors o updates in the REngine Java client, added documentation 0.5-1 2008-07-22 o fix build issue with R 2.7.x on Windows o mergefat now works properly and uses cp if there is no lipo (this fixes multi-arch issues on Mac OS X and makes sure that Rserve/Rserve.dbg are installed even on non-Mac systems) 0.5-0 2008-07-21 o added CMD_serEval and CMD_serAssign which are highly efficient when talking to R clients as they don't need any intermediate buffer. The corresponding R client functions RSeval and RSassign have been re-written to use this new API. o deprecate scalar types in the protocol o add more efficient storage for dotted-pair lists and symbol names o add support for complex numbers o new Java client: REngine it is more flexible than JRclient and it can be used with other Java/R engines such as JRI. Also it has a much more clean API and better exeption handling. - allow NaNs to be passed in raw form to R, i.e. double NAs can be created using Double.longBitsToDouble(0x7ff00000000007a2L) (nice methods for this should follow) o C++ client was moved to src/client/cxx JRclient: o change the representation of lists to generic named vectors (class RList) o change the ways attributes are accessed 0.4-7 2007-01-14 o relax DLL versions checking on Windows o added more sophisticated implementation of RSassign in R client to support larger data. Nevertheless, due to limitations in R, objects must be serializable to less than 8MB to be assignable via RSassign. o added more robust error handling in the R client o fixed compilation on systems with custom include dir (such as Debian) o JRclient is now part of the Rserve package. See clients.txt for details. It is not compiled by default (but installed when --with-client is specified), because we cannot assume the existence of a Java compiler. 0.4-6 2006-11-30 o fixed bug in RSeval when handling large objects o minor fix in RSassign o add an endianness hack for Windows in case config.h is not included properly 0.4-5 2006-11-29 o added --with-server option (by default enabled). When disabled, the server itself is not built. When enabled, R must provide R shared library, i.e. it must have been compiled with --enable-R-shlib. o added --with-client option (by default disabled). When enabled, the C/C++ client is built and installed in the package. It will be copied in the "client" directory of the package and contains all files necessary for building a client application. This option has no effect on the R client which is always built and installed. o Windows version of Rserve now builds and installs both debug (Rserve_d.exe) and regular (Rserve.exe) version of Rserve. In addition, the Rserve function can now be used to launch Rserve even on Windows. o endianness detection now prefers information from the compiler macros thus allowing cross-compilation. Use -D_BIG_ENDIAN_ or -D_LITTLE_ENDIAN_ to override it if necessary. o allows universal build on Mac OS X o adapt to R_ParseVector interface change in R-devel 0.4-4 2006-11-15 o first release on CRAN o added support for RAW type (both in and out) o added rudimentary client support (thanks to David Reiss for his contributions) and documentation Previous major releases: 0.4 2005-08-31 * added support for sessions 0.3 2003-10-07 * new format for boolean arrays last version: 0.3-18 (2005-08-28) 0.2 2003-08-21 * support for large objects 0.1 2002-07-06 * first release |
