NEWS for uuid
---------------

1.2-0   2024-01-13
    o   add UUIDfromName() which allows generation of version 3 and 5
        UUIDs based on a namespace UUID and a string.

1.1-1   2022-12-02
    o   clean up strict prototype warnings

    o   update to upstream util-linux version 25b98ae

1.1-0   2022-04-19
    o   added UUIDparse() and UUIDvalidate() functions

    o   added an internal representation of UUIDs as
        class "UUID" which represents a vector of 128-bit
        elements interpreted as UUIDs. This also allows seamless
        conversion between textual representation, raw vectors and
        UUID objects.

1.0-5   2022-04-19
    o   update to upstream util-linux version e928e8ed6

    o   add LinkingTo includes in the source tree. This fixes issues
        on Windows where the headers were not copied since configure
        is not run on Windows. The headers can be updated using
        src/update-inst.sh script in the source tree.

1.0-4   2022-03-15
    o   Windows: use dynamic buffer when querying DLLs to
        avoid "Too many DLLs" error.

1.0-3   2021-11-01
    o   guard flock() with HAVE_FLOCK for platforms that
        don't have it

1.0-2   2021-10-25
    o   silence benign sendfile warning from upstream

1.0-1   2021-10-20
    o   update to latest upstream libuuid sources
        (util-linux c4a543ff, libuuid e6743239)

    o   Add LinkingTo: API allowing other packages to
        use UUID generation from C code

0.1-4   2020-02-26
    o   add `n' parameter to UUIDgenerate() to generate
        multiple UUIDs at once (#2)

    o   use crypto-safe RNG on Windows to avoid UUIDs
        that are identical. That makes the default behavior
        equivalent to `use.time=FALSE' on Windows. (#8)

0.1-3   2020-02-25
    o   don't use deprecated R CMD config CPP

    o   isolate rand()/srand() to avoid warnings

0.1-2   2015-07-27
    o   update License entry to conform to CRAN rules

    o   don't break on systems without flock()
        (thanks to Brian Ripley)

0.1-1   2013-09-03
    o   initial CRAN release

0.1-0   2013-02-24
    o   initial version based on libuuid
