Secure TLS connections implemented for distributed computing: Zero-configuration experience - simply specify a tls+tcp:// or wss:// URL in daemons(). Single-use keys and certificates are automatically generated. Alternatively, custom certificates may be passed to the 'tls' argument of daemons() and daemon(), such as those generated via a Ceritficate Signing Request (CSR) to a Certificate Authority (CA). launch_remote() launches daemons on remote machines and/or returns the shell command for launching daemons as a character vector. Example using SSH: launch_remote("ws://192.168.0.1:5555", command = "ssh", args = c("-p 22 192.168.0.2", .). User interface optimised for consistency and ease of use: Documentation updated to refer consistently to host and daemons (rather than client and server) for clarity. daemon() replaces server(), which is deprecated (although currently retained as an alias). launch_local() replaces launch_server() and now accepts a vector argument for 'url' as well as numeric values to select the relevant dispatcher or host URL, returning invisible NULL instead of an integer value. status() now retrieves connections and daemons status, replacing the call to daemons() with no arguments (which is deprecated). The return value of $daemons is now always the host URL when not using dispatcher. Redirection of stdout and stderr from local daemons to the host process is now possible (when running without dispatcher) by specifying output=TRUE for daemons() or launch_local(). daemon() accepts a new 'output' argument. saisei() argument validation now happens prior to sending a request to dispatcher rather than on dispatcher. A 'miraiError' now includes the trailing line break at the end of the character vector. Requires nanonext >= 0.9.1, with R requirement relaxed back to >= 2.12.
