malariaAtlas 1.5.1

• Updated rdhs dependency to 0.8.0

• Fixed bug where Sao Tome and Principe couldn't be found in getPR

malariaAtlas 1.5.0

• A number of underlying data sources have been updated. All datasets are now versioned, this is reflected in the get* functions. We have tried to keep the API changes small so as to minimise breaking your code. More specifically:

  • getPR, listPRPointCountries, and isAvailable_pr can now take a version parameter. These are listed in listPRPointVersions. If no version is passed, the data for the newest version will be returned.
  • getVecOcc, listVecOccPointCountries, and isAvailable_Vecsimilarly take a version parameter. These are listed in listVecOccPointVersions. If no version is passed, the data for the newest version will be returned.

• getRaster and extractRaster now prefer the new dataset_id over the deprecated surface parameter. dataset_id is included in listRaster

• Some more functions have been deprecated

  • listData, in favour of the more specific listPRPointCountries, listVecOccPointCountries, listRaster, listShp
  • listPoints, in favour of the more specific listPRPointCountries and listVecOccPointCountries

malariaAtlas 1.2.0

• Removed rgdal, sp, raster packages dependencies and added terra, sf, tidyterra, lifecycle

• As a result getShp will now return sf objects

• Similarly, getRaster returns SpatRaster or SpatRasterCollection

• Some functions have been deprecated. They will still run in this version, with a warning. Please remove them from your code, they will be completely removed in the future.

  • Deprecated as.MAPraster, as.MAPshp. They are no longer required for working with autoplot
  • Deprecated autoplot_MAPraster. Use autoplot directly with the result of getRaster
