Version (development version)

New Features

  • Now ‘mirai’ futures can be canceled using cancel(), which also interrupts them by default, which in turn frees up compute resources sooner. Map-reduce API such as future.apply, doFuture, and furrr can take advantage of this by canceling all non-resolved futures whenever they detect an error in one of the futures. Also, canceled futures can be reset() and thereafter relaunched, possibly on another future backend.

  • Now ‘mirai_multisession’ futures relay immediateCondition:s in near real-time, e.g. progression conditions signals by the progressr package.

Version 0.2.2

CRAN release: 2024-07-03

Miscellaneous

  • Internal updates for mirai (>= 1.1.0), e.g. mirai::daemons() argument resilience is being removed.

Version 0.2.1

CRAN release: 2024-05-15

Bug Fix

  • nbrOfWorkers() and nbrOfFreeWorkers() did not handle mirai dispatcher errors. Because those are integers, these functions would return the error integer value instead of giving a FutureError.

Version 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2024-04-18

  • First public release.

Version 0.1.1

Miscellaneous

  • Align code with mirai 0.9.1.

Version 0.1.0

Significant Changes

  • A working, proof-of-concept implementation.
