Hi,

Following a demand to have a more resilient connection with the Datashield servers (especially for those of you connecting from remote areas of this world), the requests are now automatically retried whenever there is a connection failure detected. The R option `opal.retry.times` can be used to specify the number of attempts (by default 3 attempts).

This release also includes an administration function for extracting the Datashield logs in a detailed way: see [dsadmin.log](https://www.obiba.org/opalr/reference/dsadmin.log.html)

Online documentation is available at: [Opal Data Repository Client and DataSHIELD Utils • opalr](https://www.obiba.org/opalr)

Best regards and happy new year!  
Yannick
