Changes in version 1.2-2 (2026-01-23) o time-generated UUIDs are not guaranteed to be unique if they are requested within the same time slot, so the time-based UUID generation will now stall and re-generate until the UUID is different from the previously generated one (can happen for very fast CPUs). (#17) Changes in version 1.2-1 (2024-07-29) o minor DESCRIPTION updates (add ORCID, Authors@R and /issues) Changes in version 1.2-0 (2024-01-14) o add UUIDfromName() which allows generation of version 3 and 5 UUIDs based on a namespace UUID and a string. Changes in version 1.1-1 (2023-08-17) o clean up strict prototype warnings o update to upstream util-linux version 25b98ae Changes in version 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. Changes in version 1.0-5 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. Changes in version 1.0-4 (2022-03-16) o Windows: use dynamic buffer when querying DLLs to avoid "Too many DLLs" error. Changes in version 1.0-3 (2021-11-01) o guard flock() with HAVE_FLOCK for platforms that don't have it Changes in version 1.0-2 (2021-10-27) o silence benign sendfile warning from upstream Changes in version 1.0-1 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 Changes in version 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) Changes in version 0.1-3 o don't use deprecated `R CMD config CPP` o isolate rand()/srand() to avoid warnings Changes in version 0.1-2 (2015-07-28) o update License entry to conform to CRAN rules o don't break on systems without flock() (thanks to Brian Ripley) Changes in version 0.1-1 (2013-09-04) o initial CRAN release Changes in version 0.1-0 o initial version based on libuuid
