NetWorkSpaces for R / News: Recent posts

This release includes a variety of enahancements, as well as an important bug fix that caused sleighs to not be started properly on Windows. See the ChangeLog for more details.

Since binary releases are very specific to the version of R, we've decided to remove them. If you are running on Windows, and are not able to perform source installations, we suggest that you install nws via CRAN, using the install.packages function, for instance. We're sorry for any inconvenience.

This release adds iterated operations using new methods nwsIFind, nwsIFindTry, nwsIFetch, and nwsIFetchTry. The first two are particularly useful for reading all the values of a variable non-destructively. This allows you to implement a publish/subscribe communication model.

There is also improved support for installing nws into a non-system directory.
