mapme.biodiversity (development version)

Breaking changes

New features

Internal

mapme.biodiversity 0.1.2

Internal

• unit tests have been silenced in order to be more informative for reverse dependency checks
• checks for tile availability reactivated for SRTM
• fixed notes due to uninitialized variables in TEOW and biome indicators

mapme.biodiversity 0.1.1

Internal

• init_portfolio() now sets the testing attribute to FALSE by default.
• get_<resource>() functions now return filenames early if testing is set to TRUE.
• calc_<indicator>() examples now copy files to the R temporal directory and are wrapped in try() to avoid errors/warnings on CRAN if an internet resource is not available.
• examples for calc_tri() and calc_elevation() are now disabled on CRAN because of the responsiveness of CIGAR servers.

mapme.biodiversity 0.1.0

Breaking changes

• renamed ‘.assetid’ to ‘assetid’ (#22)

New features

• None

Internal

• ensures that tests and examples adhere to CRAN policies of only writing to the temporal directory (#22).

mapme.biodiversity 0.0.1

Initial release

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
• initial supported resources are:
  • ecoregions
  • esalandcover
  • greenhouse
  • lossyear
  • mangrove
  • nasagrace
  • soilgrids
  • srtmdem
  • traveltime
  • treecover
  • worldclim
  • worldpop
• initial supported indicators are:
  • acessibility
  • biome
  • chirpsprec
  • drought_indicator
  • elevation
  • emissions
  • gmw
  • landcover
  • popcount
  • soilproperties
  • teow
  • treecover
  • treeloss
  • tri
  • wcprec
  • wctmax
  • wctmin
• init_portfolio() is used to initialize a portfolio object. The input must be an sf object where all geometries are of type POLYGON
• users can request the download of one or more resources via get_resources()
• users can request the processing of an indicator via calc_indicators()
• indicators are added to the portfolio object as nested list columns
• a processed portfolio object can be exported as a GeoPackage via write_portfolio()
• a portfolio saved to disk as a GeoPackage can be read back into R via read_portfolio(). If users wish to download additional resources or calculate indicators, init_portfolio() has to be called again.
• Parallelization using multiple cores on the host machine is disabled on Windows
• on MacOS, the s2 engine for spherical geometric vector operations is disabled and lwgeom is used instead.

Internal

• Introduced absolute URLS in userguide.Rmd pointing to the online documentation (#59)
• tags added to all exported functions explaining what is the output/sideffect (#59)
• using requireNamespace() instead of installed.packages() to check if packages listed in SUGGEST are loadable (#58)
