parSim 0.3.0

Breaking changes

• The primary argument names have been restored to their original names from version 0.1.x: nCores (was cores), write (was save), and name. The new-style arguments cores and save are still accepted via ... but will produce a deprecation warning and will be removed in a future release.

New features

• Restored parSim_dt(), the data.table-based variant of parSim(). The parallel backend has been updated to use parabar (replacing snow and pbapply), while retaining data.table internals for efficient data handling.

• Added env argument to both parSim() and parSim_dt(), defaulting to parent.frame(). This fixes an issue where the export argument could not find variables defined in the caller's environment when parSim() was called from within a function (GitHub issue #10).

Bug fixes

• Fixed "no visible binding for global variable" NOTE from R CMD check in parSim_dt().
