# crew 0.6.0

* Migrate checks to enforce features in version 0.5.0 for reverse dependencies.
* Drop check of backlogged workers, c.f. https://github.com/shikokuchuo/mirai/discussions/63#discussioncomment-7051889 (#79, #124, @shikokuchuo).
* Deprecate `seconds_exit` because `exitlinger` in `mirai` is now obsolete (#125, @shikokuchuo).
* Use `mirai::nextget("cv")` to count unresolved tasks instead of looping through all the task objects (#131).
* Remove throttling and `collect()` in auto-scaling. Simplifies much of the code. Made possible by the efficiency gains in #131.
* Simplify `wait()`.
* `seconds_interval` in `map()` no longer defaults to `controller$client$seconds_interval`.
* `launcher$terminate_workers()` terminates one or more workers, and `launcher$terminate` terminates the whole launcher.
* Add infrastructure to let custom launcher plugins launch and terminate workers asynchronously (#133). Launchers can set a positive number in the `processes` field to set the number of local `mirai` daemons for asynchronous requests to launch and terminate the serious workers. Then, `launch_worker()` and `terminate_worker()` can optionally make use of `launcher$async$eval()` to send these asynchronous calls.

# crew 0.5.0

* Suppress interactive browser on Windows which launched on each worker previously (@psychelzh).
* Migrate to the new host/daemon nomenclature in `mirai` 0.9.1 (#96).
* Suppress `status()` retries (@shikokuchuo, #100).
* Implement `launch_max` to error out if workers repeatedly launch without completing any tasks (#101, @shikokuchuo, @multimeric).
* Detect discovered workers more robustly in `launcher$done()`.
* Add a new `algorithm` argument to the `push()`, `shove()`, and `map()` methods of controllers and controller groups, as well as arguments/fields in `crew_eval()` and its return value (#113, @shikokuchuo).
* As a default for pseudo-random number generation, leverage widely-spaced L'Ecuyer streams as supported by `mirai::nextstream()` (#115, @shikokuchuo).
* Move README documentation to vignettes.
* Add a new `crew_tls()` function for TLS configuration (#120).
* Deprecate the `tls_enable` and `tls_config` arguments of `crew_client()` etc. in favor of a `tls` argument which accepts `crew_tls()` objects (#120).

# crew 0.4.0

## Highlights

* Use the TLS capabilities of `nanonext` and `mirai`.
* Add a `map()` method to the controller class for functional programming (#93).
* Fix bug in `scale()` which launched too many workers when `active - demand` was less than 0.
* Add `crew_clean()` to help clean up any lingering dispatchers and workers from previous sessions.

## Other improvements

* Remove temporary controller summary workaround that ensured CRAN compatibility with `targets` 1.1.3.
* Add guardrails to make sure the controller is started for methods that require this. Part of this involved improving the error messages.
* Retry `daemons()` in `daemons_info()`.

# crew 0.3.0

* Track warnings properly (#81, @brendanf).
* Optimize heavily (#81, #83, @shikokuchuo, @brendanf).
* Use CRAN `nanonext` 0.9.0.
* Delegate the task pushing and collection logic to a new `R6` schedule class (#84).
* Delegate auto-scaling to the launcher (#84).
* Drastically simplify internal logic (#84).
* Rename "router" to "client" and change the function signature of `launch_worker()` (#84). Unfortunately neither of these changes is back-compatible for third-party launcher plugins. However, the controller interface is still back-compatible, so `targets` remains unaffected.
* Terminate "lost" workers on websocket rotation.
* Allow `NULL` result in `pop()$result[[1L]]`.
* Delegate summaries among the controller, schedule, launcher, and client.
* Default to the loopback address for the local controller.
* Use already cumulative `assigned` and `complete` stats from `mirai` 0.8.7.9029.
* Reorganize `pkgdown` reference and `Rd` families to clarify which parts are for end-users and which parts are for launcher plugin developers.
* Add `controller$shove()` and `schedule$list()` to support fast extensions for functional programming.
* Depend on `mirai` 0.9.0 or greater.

# crew 0.2.1

* Use `packageStartupMessage()`.

# crew 0.2.0

* Use `.args` instead of `...` in `mirai::mirai()`.
* Use `set.seed()` instead of `withr::local_seed()` (#67, @shikokuchuo).
* Add a vignette to showcase integration with Shiny, co-authored with @dwoodie and with helpful suggestions by @shikokuchuo.
* Drop `rlang::duplicate()` (#72, @shikokuchuo).
* Do not poll dispatcher availability when starting router objects (@shikokuchuo).
* Implement a `saturated()` controller method to support `targets`.
* Add a `worker_index` column to controller summaries.
* When relaunching workers, prioritize those with unresolved tasks stuck at the NNG level (#75, @shikokuchuo).
* Always relaunch backlogged inactive workers (#79).
* Deprecate the `auto_scale` argument/field of controllers in favor of the `scale` argument of `push()`, `pop()`, and `wait()`.
* Throttle auto-scaling with interval `self$router$seconds_interval` (#76).
* Remove `clean()` and instead terminate lost workers on launch.
* Fix examples.
* Add a `collect` argument to `pop()`.

# crew 0.1.1

* Ensure checks pass on CRAN.

# crew 0.1.0

* Remove `asyncdial` from call to `mirai::daemons()`.
* Explain vision in the launcher plugin vignette.
* Remove the superfluous `clean()` controller method.
* Clean up logic for `scale()` and `launch()` controller methods.
* Add a new `inactive()` launcher method to help with the above.
* Eliminate superfluous worker launches: clean up the controller logic, and check worker discoveries before worker connections (#51).
* Simplify the launcher plugin interface (#54).
* Commit to using the fast `nanonext::.unresolved()` (#49).
* Rename the `callr` launcher to the local process launcher (#56).
* Switch from SHA224 to SHA1 as the hash for random tokens and names (#59, @shikokuchuo).
* Open and confirm bus socket listeners asynchronously in the launcher abstract class (#58).
* Use condition variables to test the connection status of worker instances (#57, @shikokuchuo).
* Allow the dispatcher process to not exist so that the router will keep working if `mirai` implements the dispatcher another way (#60).
* Add a `substitute` argument to `push()` (#63).
* Remove dependency on custom NNG bus sockets, which significantly simplifies the internals, improves robustness, and smooths the integration with `mirai` (#61).
* Use `processx` instead of `callr` for the local process launcher (#64").
* Speed up `crew_eval()` by e.g. relying on `nanonext::mclock()` for the time.
* Add an `empty()` method to check if the controller or controller group is empty.
* Rely on `mirai` for globals cleanup, garbage collection, and global option resets (#65).
* Expose the package unloading capabilities of `mirai` (#65).
* Make monads classed environments and leave tibbles to the last minute in `pop()`.
* Rename `crew_wait()` to `crew_retry()`.
* Export `crew_assert()` and `crew_random_name()` to help launcher plugins.
* Rename the `listen()` method to `start()` in the router class.
* The `poll()` method now retries `mirai::daemons()` for robustness.
* `crew_retry()` gains a `max_tries` argument.
* Bug fix: stop setting `router$daemons` to `NULL` in `poll()` when the connection has a momentary problem.
* Simplify `listening()`.

# crew 0.0.5

* Write a `call()` method to make it easier to write custom launcher plugins.
* Add robust documentation and tests for custom launcher plugins.
* Use `as.character()` to make sure the `list` argument supplied to `rm()` is safe. Fixes a test that was failing on R-devel with `crew` version 0.0.4.
* Remove the `seconds_poll_high` and `seconds_poll_low` fields and arguments for compatibility with `mirai` development and release versions.
* Hard-code the `async_dial` field in the router for compatibility with `mirai` development and release versions.

* Adjust references and tests as requested by CRAN.

# crew 0.0.3

* First version.
