# processx 3.4.2

* `run()` now does a better job with displaying the spinner on terminals
  that buffer the output (#223).

* Error messages are now fully printed after an error. In non-interactive
  sessions, the stack trace is printed as well.

* Further improved error messages. Errors from C code now include the
  name of the C function, and errors that belong to a process include the
  system command (#197).

* processx does not crash now if the process receives a SIGPIPE signal when
  trying to write to a pipe, of which the other end has already exited.

* processx now to works better with fork clusters from the parallel
  package. See 'Mixing processx and the parallel base R package' in the
  README file (#236).

* processx now does no block SIGCHLD by default in the subprocess,
  blocking potentially causes zombie sub-subprocesses (#240).

* The `process$wait()` method now does not leak file descriptors on
  Unix when interrupted (#141).

# processx 3.4.1

* Now `run()` does not create an `ok` variable in the global environment.

# processx 3.4.0

* Processx has now better error messages, in particular, all errors from C
  code contain the file name and line number, and the system error code
  and message (where applicable).

* Processx now sets the `.Last.error` variable for every un-caught processx
  error to the error condition, and also sets `.Last.error.trace` to its
  stack trace.

* `run()` now prints the last 10 lines of the standard error stream on
  error, if `echo = FALSE`, and it also prints the exit status of the
  process.

* `run()` now includes the standard error in the condition signalled on
  interrupt.

* `process` now supports creating pseudo terminals on Unix systems.

* `conn_create_pipepair()` gets new argument to set the pipes as blocking
  or non-blocking.

* `process` does not set the inherited extra connections as blocking,
  and it also does not close them after starting the subprocess.
  This is now the responsibility of the user. Note that this is a
  breaking change.

* `run()` now passes extra `...` arguments to `process$new()`.

* `run()` now does not error if the process is killed in a callback.

# processx 3.3.1

* Fix a crash on Windows, when a connection that has a pending read
  internally is finalized.

# processx 3.3.0

* `process` can now redirect the standard error to the standard output, via
  specifying `stderr = "2>&1"`. This works both with files and pipes.

* `run()` can now redirect the standard error to the standard output, via
  the new `stderr_to_stdout` argument.

* The `$kill()` and `$kill_tree()` methods get a `close_connection = TRUE`
  argument that closes all pipe connections of the process.

* `run()` now always kills the process (and its process tree if
  `cleanup_tree` is `TRUE`) before exiting. This also closes all
  pipe connections (#149).

# processx 3.2.1

* processx does not depend on assertthat now, and the crayon package
  is now an optional dependency.

# processx 3.2.0

* New `process$kill_tree()` method, and new `cleanup_tree` arguments in
  `run()` and `process$new()`, to clean up the process tree rooted at a
  processx process. (#139, #143).

* New `process$interupt()` method to send an interrupt to a process,
  SIGINT on Unix, CTRL+C on Windows (#127).

* New `stdin` argument in `process$new()` to support writing to the
  standard input of a process (#27, #114).

* New `connections` argument in `process$new()` to support passing extra
  connections to the child process, in addition to the standard streams.

* New `poll_connection` argument to `process$new()`, an extra connection
  that can be used to poll the process, even if `stdout` and `stderr` are
  not pipes (#125).

* `poll()` now works with connections objects, and they can be mixed with
  process objects (#121).

* New `env` argument in `run()` and `process$new()`, to set the
  environment of the child process, optionally (#117, #118).

* Removed the `$restart()` method, because it was less useful than
  expected, and hard to maintain (#116).

* New `conn_set_stdout()` and `conn_set_stderr()` to set the standard
  output or error of the calling process.

* New `conn_disable_inheritance()` to disable stdio inheritance. It is
  suggested that child processes call this immediately after starting, so
  the file handles are not inherited further.

* Fixed a signal handler bug on Unix that marked the process as finished,
  even if it has not (d221aa1f).

* Fixed a bug that occasionally caused crashes in `wait()`, on Unix (#138).

* When `run()` is interrupted, no error message is printed, just like
  for interruption of R code in general. The thrown condition now also
  has the `interrupt` class (#148).

# processx 3.1.0

* Fix interference with the parallel package, and other packages that
  redefine the `SIGCHLD` signal handler on Unix. If the processx signal
  handler is overwritten, we might miss the exit status of some processes
  (they are set to `NA`).

* `run()` and `process$new()` allow specifying the working directory
  of the process (#63).

* Make the debugme package an optional dependency (#74).

* processx is now compatible with R 3.1.x.

* Allow polling more than 64 connections on Windows, by using IOCP
  instead of `WaitForMultipleObjects()` (#81, #106).

* Fix a race condition on Windows, when creating named pipes for stdout
  or stderr. The client sometimes didn't wait for the server, and processx
  failed with ERROR_PIPE_BUSY (231, All pipe instances are busy).

# processx 3.0.3

* Fix a crash on windows when trying to run a non-existing command (#90)

* Fix a race condition in `process$restart()`

* `run()` and `process$new()` do not support the `commandline` argument
  any more, because process cleanup is error prone with an intermediate
  shell. (#88)

* `processx` process objects no longer use R connection objects,
  because the R connection API was retroactive made private by R-core
  `processx` uses its own connection class now to manage standard output
  and error of the process.

* The encoding of the standard output and error can be specified now,
  and `processx` re-encodes `stdout` and `stderr` in UTF-8.

* Cloning of process objects is disables now, as it is likely that it
  causes problems (@wch).

* `supervise` option to kill child process if R crashes (@wch).

* Add `get_output_file` and `get_error_file`, `has_output_connection()`
  and `has_error_connection()` methods (@wch).

* `stdout` and `stderr` default to `NULL` now, i.e. they are
  discarded (@wch).

* Fix undefined behavior when stdout/stderr was read out after the
  process was already finalized, on Unix.

* `run()`: Better message on interruption, kill process when interrupted.

* Unix: better kill count on unloading the package.

* Unix: make wait() work when SIGCHLD is not delivered for some reason.

* Unix: close inherited file descriptors more conservatively.

* Fix a race condition and several memory leaks on Windows.

* Fixes when running under job control that does not allow breaking away
  from the job, on Windows.
