Version 0.6-1

Exported SCOMIDispatch() function from the name space that was erroneously omitted in 0.6-0.

Version 0.6-0

Pretty extensive testing of the RDCOMClient and RDCOMEvents packages and associated updates to this package.

Version 0.5-4

DCOMVariantRef and sub-classes for handling references to DCOM VARIANT objects. These are used in event handlers/callbacks as OUT parameters in which results are returned via the arguments.

Facilities for getting and setting their values: getValueOf() and setValueOf().

getNativeServerClass() allows one to determine the C++ class in use to represent the specific R DCOM server.

Functions to access the definition of a server instance.

This allows one to inspect the "functions" used to implement a server instance at run-time. Also one can set new definitions at run-time. This is convenient when debugging the code in place.

Version 0.5-3

Building for R-2.1.* with some changes to the structures.

Version 0.5-2

Rebuild binary for R-1.8.* and the new class representation.

options() are checked for RCOMClassFile before the environment variable R_COM_CLASS_FILE in getCOMClassDefFileName() when looking for the name of the file that is used to store the COM class definitions exported from R.

Suggested by David James.

Version 0.5-1

Using the appropriate finalizer at the C-level to garbage collect COM servers created by R when the session terminates (normally).

Thanks to Luke Tierney for explaining the different finalizer registration mechanisms.

Fix the {} around the CLSID in more places for the user.

Version 0.5-0

Moved the event material from RDCOMServer and RDCOMClient into RDCOMEvents.

Version 0.4-1

More structured support for event servers, e.g. classes.

Version 0.4-0

Basic support for event servers

Version 0.3-4

Support for strings by reference as arguments for servers.

Include the { } around the UUID given as an argument to the EXE server.

Version 0.3-3

Collapse COM arrays converted to R lists into vectors if the elements are a) homogeneous and b) integer, numeric, logical or characters.

Version 0.3-1

Fix the serialization of the COM objects to avoid the memory fault.

Version 0.3-0

Allow the definition to be specified as an RDA file whose name is found in the CLSID\\uuid\\rda key in the Windows registry. Similarly, support for a profile source file for each class identifier which is run when the class is resolved by S, which happens each time an object is requested. Currently gets called each time.

Version 0.2-1

Fix handling of COMIDispatch argument values. (Testing for NULL preceeded this.)

Version 0.2-0

SCOMNamedFunction class and constructor for defining COM classes in terms of function names.

Version 0.1-1

Merged converter code with RDCOMClient
