servr 0.12

NEW FEATURES

• Exported the function random_port() to return an available random TCP port.

MAJOR CHANGES

• daemon_list() returns server IDs instead of handles, so that it will work with httpuv >= v1.4.5.1 (rstudio/blogdown#365).

servr 0.11

NEW FEATURES

• The default value of the port argument of server_config() can be set via the environment variable R_SERVR_PORT. If the environment variable does not exist, the global option servr.port will be used if set, e.g., options(servr.port = 4322). See ?servr::server_config for details.

servr 0.10

NEW FEATURES

• Added a function browse_last() to reopen the last browsed page.

MAJOR CHANGES

• The daemon argument in server_config() now defaults to interactive(), i.e., servr starts a daemonized server that does not block your interactive R session by default.

servr 0.9

BUG FIXES

• The web browser may be opened too early (before the server is ready) (originally reported at rstudio/rstudio#2475).

CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.8

NEW FEATURES

• added another implementation of the daemoinzed server based on the later package, since the previous implmentation based on httpuv::startDaemonizedServer() could crash the R session on Windows (#23)

CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.7

NEW FEATURES

• added a new argument watch to servr::httw()

• exported the function server_config()

BUG FIXES

• files/directories that contain multibyte characters in path names cannot be served correctly (thanks, Hao Peng)

CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.6

NEW FEATURES

• on 404 (page not found), 404.html will be displayed if it exists under the root directory

• improved the support for HTTP Range requests, e.g. servr can correctly serve MP4 videos now in major browsers including Safari

BUG FIXES

• servr should decode requested paths before reading them (rstudio/blogdown#85)

CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.5

NEW FEATURES

• added an argument initpath to server_config() so you can open a specific path initially in the web browser
• the daemon argument of server_config() takes the default value from the global option getOption('servr.daemon') now, e.g., you can set options(servr.daemon = TRUE) so that the daemonized server is always used

CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.4.1

NEW FEATURES

• excluded ports considered unsafe by Chrome http://superuser.com/a/188070 when a random port automatically

BUG FIXES

• fixed a bug in 301 redirection when serving a directory without the trailing slash

CHANGES IN servr VERSION 0.4

NEW FEATURES

• you can disable websocket listening on an HTML page using a special HTML comment <!-- DISABLE-SERVR-WEBSOCKET --> when servr is serving and watching a directory, so that this page will not communicate with R (e.g. when it is updated, R will not send signals to refresh it) (thanks @hafen, #25)
• a random TCP port will be used if the port 4321 is not available
