CRAN release 0.9.1

nanonext 0.9.1

New Features

• Enables secure TLS transports tls+tcp:// and wss:// for scalability protocols.
  • listen() and dial() gain the argument 'tls' for supplying a TLS configuration object
  • write_cert() generates 4096 bit RSA keys and self-signed X.509 certificates for use with tls_config().
• weakref(), weakref_key() and weakref_value() implement an interface to R's weak reference system. These may be used for synchronising the lifetimes of objects with reference objects such as Sockets or Aios, or creating read-only objects accessible by the weakref value alone.
• strcat() provides a simple, fast utility to concatenate two strings.

Updates

• tls_config() now accepts a relative path if filenames are supplied for the 'client' or 'server' arguments.
• 'tlsConfig' objects no longer have a 'source' attribute.
• Fix cases where base64enc() failed for objects exceeding a certain size.
• stream() has been updated internally for additional robustness.
• Updates bundled 'libmbedtls' v3.4.0 source configuration for threading support.
• Updates bundled 'libnng' to v1.6.0 alpha (c5e9d8a) again, having resolved previous issues.
