News/ChangelogCHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.15CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.14 NEW FEATURES - The argument `host` in `server_config()` can be configured through the global option `servr.host` now, e.g., `options(servr.host = `0.0.0.0')`. CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.13 NEW FEATURES - Added a `verbose` argument to `server_config()`. - The `interval` argument of `server_config()` can be set via the global option `servr.interval` now. For example, `options(servr.interval = 0.5)`. MAJOR CHANGES - Server functions such as `httd()` now return the config object created by `server_config()` instead of the server handle returned by `httpuv::startServer()`. The config object contains various information about the server and methods to start/stop the server. CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.12 NEW FEATURES - Exported the function `random_port()` to return an available random TCP port. MAJOR CHANGES - `daemon_list()` returns server IDs instead of handles, so that it will work with httpuv >= v1.4.5.1 (rstudio/blogdown#365). CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.11 NEW FEATURES - The default value of the `port` argument of `server_config()` can be set via the environment variable `R_SERVR_PORT`. If the environment variable does not exist, the global option `servr.port` will be used if set, e.g., `options(servr.port = 4322)`. See `?servr::server_config` for details. CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.10 NEW FEATURES - Added a function `browse_last()` to reopen the last browsed page. MAJOR CHANGES - The `daemon` argument in `server_config()` now defaults to `interactive()`, i.e., **servr** starts a daemonized server that does not block your interactive R session by default. CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.9 BUG FIXES - The web browser may be opened too early (before the server is ready) (originally reported at rstudio/rstudio#2475). CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.8 NEW FEATURES - added another implementation of the daemoinzed server based on the later package, since the previous implmentation based on `httpuv::startDaemonizedServer()` could crash the R session on Windows CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.7 NEW FEATURES - added a new argument `watch` to `servr::httw()` - exported the function `server_config()` BUG FIXES - files/directories that contain multibyte characters in path names cannot be served correctly (thanks, Hao Peng) CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.6 NEW FEATURES - on 404 (page not found), 404.html will be displayed if it exists under the root directory - improved the support for HTTP Range requests, e.g. servr can correctly serve MP4 videos now in major browsers including Safari BUG FIXES - servr should decode requested paths before reading them (https://github.com/rstudio/blogdown/issues/85) CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.5 NEW FEATURES - added an argument `initpath` to `server_config()` so you can open a specific path initially in the web browser - the `daemon` argument of `server_config()` takes the default value from the global option `getOption('servr.daemon')` now, e.g., you can set `options(servr.daemon = TRUE)` so that the daemonized server is always used CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.4.1 NEW FEATURES - excluded ports considered unsafe by Chrome http://superuser.com/a/188070 when>http://superuser.com/a/188070">http://superuser.com/a/188070 when selecting a random port automatically BUG FIXES - fixed a bug in 301 redirection when serving a directory without the trailing slash CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.4 NEW FEATURES - you can disable websocket listening on an HTML page using a special HTML comment `<!-- DISABLE-SERVR-WEBSOCKET -->` when servr is serving and watching a directory, so that this page will not communicate with R (e.g. when it is updated, R will not send signals to refresh it) (thanks @hafen, #25) - a random TCP port will be used if the port 4321 is not available CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.3 NEW FEATURES - added a function `httw()` to watch for changes under a directory and refresh an HTML page automatically (if it is being viewed in the browser) when any files are modified - servr accepts HTTP Range requests now (thanks, @rekado, #21) BUG FIXES - servr did not work with RStudio Server (#20) CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.2 NEW FEATURES - when running inside RStudio, the RStudio web browser will be used if available (requires RStudio >= 0.98.439) - added three server functions jekyll(), rmdv1(), and rmdv2() to serve Jekyll websites, R Markdown v1, and R Markdown v2 documents, respectively - added a server function vign() to serve R Markdown/HTML package vignettes - added a server function make() to serve a directory and update files automatically via Makefile (#2) - the URL pathname foo will be redirected to foo/ automatically if foo is a directory (#5) - in case of errors when serving dynamic documents, the server functions will double the delay to check for updates and wait for the next build until the error is cleared (like Gmail) CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.1 NEW FEATURES - the main function httd() to start an HTTP server for a local directory |
