2007-05-10 Na Li * Version 1.0.2 * configure.in: added additional check to make sure PVM header and library files are found in Mac with PVM installed via MacPorts. * DESCRIPTION: added "suggested" dependence on rsprng. * src/rpvm_core.c: fixed a couple of compiling warnings. 2005-09-12 Na Li * DESCRIPTION: updated version to 0.6.5. * R/rpvm.R: fixed bug in .PVM.spawn (tid -> tids) (thanks to Mark Handcock). * Misc: There have been several bug fixes since v0.6.2 (thanks to Kurt Kornik). 2004-05-25 Na Li * DESCRIPTION: updated version to 0.6.2. * R/rpvm.R, src/rpvm_ser.c: revert back to use .PVM.pksexp (). 2004-05-16 Na Li * DESCRIPTION: updated version to 0.6.1. * R/rpvm.R: removed old .PVM.(un)serialize () that uses rpvm_ser.c. Removed 'require(serialize)' statements. * src/rpvm_ser.c: deleted. 2004-04-15 Na Li * Version 0.6 released. * configure.in: fixed bugs when PVM_ROOT is not defined. * DESCRIPTION: updated email info and required R version. * tests: removed test scripts. * demo: added demo scripts. * R CMD check: warnings fixed. * PVM.spawn, PVM.spawnR: updated. slaveR.sh now needs to be relocated to $PVM_ROOT/bin/$PVM_ARCH or somewhere else pvmd can find on each node. The slave R script is specified using a relative path so it can be located on each slave. 2002-04-22: Version 0.5.0 Na (Michael) Li * Splited rsprng out as a separate library but retain a couple of in terface functions to rsprng for convenience. * Added serialization code by Luke Tierney . 2002-03-08: Version 0.4.2 Na (Michael) Li * Fixed a bug in rpvm_spawn where the last element of (char **) argv should be NULL. There were two bug reports (thanks to Kurt Hornik and R. Woodrow Setzer, Jr. ) about sporadic segfault in pvm_pkstr called by pvm_spawn. Hopefully this will now be fixed. 2002-03-08: Version 0.4.2 Na (Michael) Li * Use try () to start pvmd and use .path.package () to locate installed files (suggested by Kurt Hornik). 2002-01-30: Version 0.4.1 Na (Michael) Li * 0.4 failed check on Debian. Seem to be fixed in 0.4.1. 2002-01-15: Version 0.4 Na (Michael) Li * Version 0.4 released. * Wrapped in parallel random number generator library SPRNG. 2001-09-20: Version 0.3 Na (Michael) Li * Version 0.3 released. * Group functions implemented with a test script. * Now the test scripts (pvm_test.R, group_test.R) should run at R CMD check with only minimal requirement that pvm is installed properly (no need to specify path, etc.). * It is no longer needed to move the slaveR.sh script anywhere. 2001-09-03: Version 0.2.1 Na (Michael) Li * Version 0.2.1 released. * Cleaned up documentation. Added README for installation instruction. * Added configure script. * Added ./tests directory and move hello.R from demo/ to tests/. 2001-09-01: Version 0.2 Na (Michael) Li * Version 0.2 released.
