Changes in version 1.8.4

There is no changes in this version, which was published to reclaim ownership and take the package out of ORPHANED state (issue #23).

Changes in version 1.8

Changes

o Unit tests are now run through testthat
o Minor fixes in man pages and README file
o Now depends on rngtools >= 1.3
o The result list gains an attribute 'doRNG_version' that contains
the version of doRNG that was used, based on doRNGversion(). 
NB: this is not necessarily the same as the version of the installed 
package. 
o Added the following global option 'doRNG.rng_change_warning_skip'.
See ?`%dorng%` (issue #14).
o Moved dependency on pkgmaker to Suggests to make installation lighter 
(issue #10).

Bug fixes

o Enabled running %dorng% loops within a package (incorporating 
the solution proposed by Elizabeth Byerly in PR#3) 
o Fixed error with NULL iteration results when setting 'rng' 
attribute (issue #9)
o Fixed error when using unamed foreach arguments (issue #8)
o Fixed non-reproducibility issue when the .Random.seed is not yet 
initialized, e.g., when the session starts and the RNG has not been 
used yet (issue #12)
o Fixed runtime error when package is not attached (issue #13)

Changes in version 1.6.2

Bug fixes

o Non reproducible %dorng% loop when doRNG is registered over doSEQ 
(Issue #1 reported by Brenton Kenkel). Actually due to %dorng% not 
restoring the RNG (to state + 1) when doRNG is registered over doSEQ.
o %dorng% was not working properly on loops of length one (Issue #2)  

Changes in version 1.6

Changes

o doRNG now depends on the package pkgmaker (>= 0.20)

Bug fixes

o Check error due number of cores used. Now limited to 2 in examples,
vignette and unit test.

Changes in version 1.5

Changes

o doRNG now depends on the package pkgmaker (>= 0.9)
o improved vignette
o most of the general RNG utilities have been incorporated in a new
package called rngtools.

Changes in version 1.4.1

Changes

o when the current RNG was L'Ecuyer-CMRG, unseeded loops now use 
the current RNG stream as for the first stream in the RNG sequence 
and # Changes the current RNG to the next RNG stream of the last stream 
in the sequence. 

Bug fixes

o fix error "'iter' not found" due to # Changes in foreach package 
dependencies -- that was announced by Rich Calaway.
o loops seeded with set.seed and .options.RNG were not reproducible
when current RNG was L'Ecuyer-CMRG (reported by Zhang Peng)
o separate unseeded loops were sharing most of their streams, 
when current RNG was L'Ecuyer-CMRG the RNG seed.
o nested/conditional loops were crashing with a bad error. 
They are still not supported but the error message is nicer and a 
work around has been added to the vignette (reported by Chanhee Yi 
and Zhang Peng).

Changes in version 1.2.3

Bug fixes

o fixed error when running a %dorng% loop on a fresh session, with no  
parallel backend registered.  

Changes

o improved vignette
o added more unit tests
o changed the name of the RNG attribute on result of %dorng% looops 
from 'RNG' to 'rng'. It now contains the whole sequence of RNG seeds, 
instead of only the first one.
o RNGseq now accepts a list or a matrix describing the whole sequence 
of seeds. See vignette for more details.
o %dorng% loops can be seeded with a complete sequence of seeds passed 
as a list, a matrix, or an object with attribute 'rng', e.g. the 
results of %dorng% loops. See vignette for more details.

Changes in version 1.2.2

Bug fixes

o separate %dorng% loops were using the same seed.

New features

o add unit tests
o first seed is set as an attribute of the loop's result

Changes

o function doRNGseed now returns the seed to use for the first 
iteration.
o RNGseq now change the current RNG state if called with no seed 
specific.  

Defunct

o removed function CMRGseed

Changes in version 1.2

Bug fixes

o An error was thrown if using %dorng% loops before using any random
generator. Thanks to Eric Lehmann for reporting this.

Changes

o add vignette
o use package doParallel in examples

Changes in version 1.1

Changes

o use R core RNG "L'Ecuyer-CMRG" and the parallel package, 
instead of the implementation provided by the rstream package.
