NEWS for uuid --------------- 1.2-1 2024-07-29 o minor DESCRIPTION updates (add ORCID, Authors@R and /issues) 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
