News/Changelog

0.7-11
   o    use default openssl trust store when performing TLS
        verification operations if no ca= argument was provided.

0.7-10  2023-11-28
   o    silence overzealous C warnings

0.7-9   2022-11-28
   o    suppress OpenSSL warnings, more conservative PROTECTs

0.7-8   2022-03-08
   o    support Windows UCRT

0.7-7   2021-11-05
   o    improve long vector support and get ready for R-devel

0.7-6   2021-10-31
   o    remove configure.win and rely on OpenSSL being part
        of the toolchain

0.7-5   2021-09-12
   o    support long vectors when encoding (needed for R 3.5.0+)

   o    retry SSL/TLS read and write operations when required (#5)

   o    add verify flag to RS.connect() to verify the server
        certificate when connecting using SSL. (#3)

        Important: note that the default has now changed to
        `verify=TRUE', such that the default is to check the server
        certificate and fail in case it is not valid. To restore
        the old bahavior use `verify=FALSE'.

   o    add ca argument to RS.connect() and RS.switch() to
        supply any CA chain needed to verify the server certificate.
        Only useful in conjunction with verify=TRUE.

   o    it is now possible to supply a client certificate using
        chain (for client certificate and its chain) and key
        (for the client key) in RS.connect() and RS.switch().
        This allows client authentication in Rserve based on the
        client certificate.

   o    use NAMESPACE for C symbol registration

0.7-4   2017-10-06
   o    support RS.collect(..., qap=TRUE)

0.7-3   2015-07-27
   o    fix an error when handling OOB if no handlers are registered

   o    RS.oobCallbacks(c) would always return NULL callabcks

0.7-2   2013-07-02
   o    add RS.eval(..., lazy=FALSE) which evaluates the argument
        locally and then remotely. This allows the construction of
        remote calls with both remote and local symbols.

   o    add RS.eval.qap() which uses Rserve QAP encoding instead of
        native R serialization (requires Rserve 1.7-0 with DT_SEXP
        support in CMD_eval).

   o    add support for Rserve object-capability (OC) model mode.
        OC calls are issued using RS.eval.qap() with OCref
        as the function to call.

   o    switch the order of winsock2.h and windows.h

0.7-1   2013-02-19
   o    add support for asynchronous connections and OOB streaming

   o    add support for non-transparent proxy protocol (RSpx)

   o    allow queuing of asynchronous RS.eval() and RS.assign()

   o    add basic methods for connections such as print, == and !=

   o    allow convenient RS.assign(c, x) syntax

0.7-0   2012-11-05
   o    initial CRAN release - the R client is based on Rserve 0.6-8
        The function names on this old client are in the form RSxxx()

        Included is a new C-based client which uses sockets directly
        and thus supports features that cannot be supported with an
        R-based client such as TLS/SSL connections, switching,
        RSA secure authentication, multi-client selection.
        The function names for the new client are of the form RS.xxx()

        Handles of the two clients are not interchangeable, so you can
        only use one or the other for one connection.
