editor_options: markdown: wrap: 72

SIMplyBee version 0.4.1

• 2024-09-19

Bug fixes

• locations of the colonies in the D_Crossing vignettes were previously sampled by random. This caused that on some runs some queens were left unmated, which caused an error. We now read in the locations from a csv file.

SIMplyBee version 0.4.0

• 2024-08-23

Major changes

• createColony() and createMultiColony() do not have the location argument anymore; use setLocation() instead; by default, location is now c(0, 0) PR#500

New features

• In setLocation(MultiColony) we can set one location (numeric) or multiple (list or data.frame) PR#500

• getLocation(MultiColony) got the collapse argument Commit#f4e629c3e8920948ad576eae3615a86b26300790

• We can now sample location of a swarm - see sampleLocation and radius arguments in swarm() PR#500 PR#502

• New function rcircle() to sample a random point within a circle with a given radius PR#502

• Removed the function createRandomCrossPlan() - that option is now included in the newly added createCrossPlan() fuction

• Added the functionality for spatially-aware mating of honeybee colonies. The new functionality is included in the createCrossPlan(), that allows to create the cross plan according to the colonies' locations, and in the cross() function, that crosses bees according to their location. This did not break the old functionality of the cross function.

• Unified setMisc and getMisc behaviour to comply with the new AlphaSimR behaviour

• Added new C++ function isHeterozygous() to speed up the SIMplyBee function isCsdHeterozygous()

Bug fixes

• Bug fix - get*Haplo() functions were returning diploid drones when input was a Pop-class
