mirai 2.5.1 released.

mirai.r-lib.org

This is a patch release, but brings a new synchronous mode: `daemons(sync = TRUE)` runs your code in the same process. This means you can now drop into a browser session *within* your mirai #rstats code!

p.s. amazing hex stickers made by someone @posit.co!!

I'm hoping you'll join our session on Strengthening the R Ecosystem at posit::conf(2025) on the Thursday morning!

Find out about the hottest new thing in the tidyverse: "purrrfectly parallel, purrrfectly distributed" (yes, it's something about cats).

New in #rstats R4.5.0: `parallel::makeCluster(6, "MIRAI")` creates a parallel mirai cluster with 6 nodes. Yes that's right, mirai is now officially a base R cluster type!

Result of work from the R Project Sprint in Warwick 2023 in collaboration with Luke Tierney (R Core).
