Changes in version 1.1-0 (2022-04-19)

• added UUIDparse() and UUIDvalidate() functions
• added an internal representation of UUIDs as class "UUID" which represents a vector of 128-bit elements interpreted as UUIDs. This also allows seamless conversion between textual representation, raw vectors and UUID objects.

Changes in version 1.0-5 (2022-04-19)

• update to upstream util-linux version e928e8ed6
• add LinkingTo includes in the source tree. This fixes issues on Windows where the headers were not copied since configure is not run on Windows. The headers can be updated using src/update-inst.sh script in the source tree.

Changes in version 1.0-4 (2022-03-15)

• Windows: use dynamic buffer when querying DLLs to avoid "Too many DLLs" error.

Changes in version 1.0-3 (2021-11-01)

Changes in version 0.1-4 (2020-02-26)

• add ‘n’ parameter to UUIDgenerate() to generate multiple UUIDs at once (#2)
• use crypto-safe RNG on Windows to avoid UUIDs that are identical. That makes the default behavior equivalent to ‘use.time=FALSE’ on Windows. (#8)

• don't use deprecated 'R CMD config CPP'
