Dear ESS users,
I�m happy to report that we now have a new release. The first since
2018. It is available on github at https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS
and ELPA (see below). Although an official release, in many ways
this is/was an experiment. I had never done a release before and
I really wasn�t planning one at this time either. However, I accidentally
triggered a release that we were planning to do a bit later. Having
said that, I did test this with the latest polymode from github and
I see no issues/warnings. https://github.com/polymode/polymode
But, I did need markdown-mode from the development branch
to avoid warnings. https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-mode
As usual, please post your issues to our github repo. And ESS-help
is a great vehicle for discussing questions, problems, etc. We are
in the process of planning for a release of ESS+ that includes ESS
along with polymode, markdown-mode, etc. I�m sure that I am
probably forgetting something. So don�t be shy ;o)
On behalf of your ESS-Core volunteers

## Recent NEWS:
Changes and New Features in 24.01.0:
* updating version number
* fix docstring warnings in ess-custom
sed/VERSION/24.01.0/
commit ess-custom with VERSION NOT 24.01.0
so remember to git checkout ess-custom.el after make
* make `ess-request-a-process' obey `ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function'
thanks to Ihor Radchenko <yantar92 using posteo.net>
Changes and New Features in 19.04 (unreleased):
* ESS[R]: When a background command is interrupted with C-g, ESS now
asks the user if they want to disable background evaluations
altogether. This is a resiliency measure against cases where
background evals cause cascading errors or hangs.
* ESS[R]: Background commands now propagate errors to Emacs.
* ESS[R]: Background commands can now be disabled by process instad
of globally. For instance when a process has failed to initialize
properly, background evals are disabled for that particular process
to avoid cascading errors. Other processes may still use
background commands.
* ESS[R]: ESSR commands are now more robust when ESSR is not in
scope. This can happen when using 'browser()' in an environment
that doesn't inherit from the search path.
* ESS[R]: Unexpected exits are now detected during startup. In that
case an error is thrown with advice about how to recover.
* ESS[R]: 'options(width = )' is now set on startup based on the
width of the inferior window.
* ESS[R]: Add support for R projects and start R by default in the
project folder.
* ESS[R]: Backticked symbols in the process buffer are no longer
fontified as strings.
* ESS[R]: 'ess-command' now runs R code in a sandboxed environment.
Use '.ess.environment()' to inspect the current environment.
* ESS[R]: Added support for new syntax in R 4.0 and R 4.1. This
concerns raw strings, lambda functions, and the pipe operator.
* ESS[R]: Highlight error locations in rlang style backtraces
* ESS[R]: Fixed issue that caused ESS-help to hang when usage blocks
include R comments (#1025). Fix contributed by Bill Evans.
* ESS: New 'ess-elisp-trace-mode' minor mode. Toggle it to start or
stop tracing all 'ess'-prefixed functions with 'trace-function'.
Tracing is useful for debugging background ESS behaviour.
* ESS[R]: 'ess-get-help-aliases-list' now caches the aliases on the R
side. This should speed up help lookup when the search path has
changed and the aliases are read again.
* ESS: 'ess-command' now uses a default timeout of 30 seconds. It
should normally be avoided with long-running tasks because it
causes Emacs to block while the command is running. If the timeout
is reached, an error is thrown. An interrupt is also sent to the
process in case of early exit.
This is a behaviour change: you will now have to explicitly opt in
blocking the whole Emacs UI for more than 30 seconds by supplying a
larger timeout (use 'most-positive-fixnum' for infinity).
* ESS: 'ess-wait-for-process' now returns nil if a timeout is
reached.
* ESS: 'ess-get-words-from-vector' gains a 'timeout' argument.
* ESS[R]: Fixed performance issue with argument completions. The
help summary for the argument is no longer displayed in the echo
area. This fixes delays and hangs (#1062).
* ESS[R]: 'ess-command' is now more robust and resilient to hangs and
custom prompts (#1043). It also strips continuation prompts ('+'
prompts) automatically and reliably (#1116).
* ESS[R]: 'ess-command' now handles sinked consoles correctly.
* ESS[R]: 'ess-command' no longer changes '.Last.value'. As a
result, background tasks like completions no longer affect the last
value binding (#1058).
* ESS[R]: Namespaced evaluation is disable in roxygen examples
(#1026). Part of this change is that namespaced evaluation has
become a buffer-local rather than process-local setting (#1046).
