In raptr: Representative and Adequate Prioritization Toolkit in R

raptr 1.0.0

• The package has been overhauled to support modern spatial data structures. Specifically, sf package objects (sf::st_sf()) are now use for vector data and terra package objects (terra::rast()) for raster data. These updates impact many of the user-facing functions (e.g., calcBoundaryData(), sim.species(), sim.space(), calcSpeciesAverageInPus(), rap()), so users will likely need to update their code.
• The cs_pus, cs_spp, and cs_spaces built-in datasets have been removed. This is because terra::rast() objects cannot be distributed as built-in datasets for packages. These datasets can now be manually imported from external files distributed with the package (see ?cs_pus for more details).
• Remove rgdal and rgeos packages as dependencies (#13).
• Support for the raster package has been deprecated.
• The SpatialPolygons2PolySet function has been renamed to convert2PolySet.
• Update citation format.
• Update package startup message.
• Update C++ specification to C++14.
• Update examples and unit tests.

raptr 0.2.2.0

• Add NumericFocus parameter to GurobiOpts to handle numerical issues.
• Update spacePlot to avoid throwing a ggplot2 deprecation warning.

raptr 0.2.1

• CRAN release.
• Update Gurobi documentation URLs.

raptr 0.2.0.0

• The data simulation function has been updated such that the RandomFields package is no longer a dependency.
• The sim.space and sim.species functions no longer accept RandomFileds objects as arguments. To simulate spatially auto-correlated data using random fields, a numeric value should be supplied to the model parameter.
• Small tweaks to case study in vignette.

raptr 0.1.8.0

• The RandomFields and RgoogleMaps R packages are now optional dependencies.
• Minimum supported versions are now specified for most dependencies.
• The verbose parameter of solve() can now be used to suppress output from the Gurobi solver.
• Fix compatibility issues with updates to the ggplot2 package.
• Fix note during package checks related to the rgdal package.

raptr 0.1.7.3

• Update example datasets and make.RapData function to improve compatibility with updates to coordinate reference system (sp::CRS) objects. These updates simply mean that warning messages will no longer be displayed. The compatibility issues that resulted in warnings did not affect the correctness of any results.

raptr 0.1.7.2

• Fix compatibility issues between the testthat R package and the gurobi R package in package tests.

raptr 0.1.7.1

• Implement GitHub Actions continuous integration (i.e. update tests and README).

raptr 0.1.7

• Remove support for processing data using GDAL.
• Remove is.gdalInstalled and rasterizeGDAL functions.
• Update Spatial-class objects with updated sp::CRS() class definition

raptr 0.1.6.1

• Fix "Non-file package-anchored link(s) in documentation object" warnings in R-devel checks.

raptr 0.1.6

• Fix errors in R-devel CRAN checks due changes in is.finite behaviour for character class objects.
• Fix WorldClim URLs.

raptr 0.1.5

• Fix warnings in R-devel CRAN checks related to documentation.
• Fix broken link in vignette.

raptr 0.1.4

• Retain debugging symbols to conform with CRAN policies.

raptr 0.1.3

• Fix bug that caused the R session to crash when none of the planning units associated with an attribute space were selected in a manually specified solution. Now the space-held calculations will return a negative infinity value in such cases.
• Permit attribute spaces to have a single demand point.

raptr 0.1.2

• Fix compatibility issues with demand point examples and hypervolume R package (version 2.0.10).
• Update package citation.
• Removed rgurobi R package dependency because the gurobi R package (version 8.0.0+) provides the functionality to access solutions from the solution pool.
• Multiple solutions can now be generated using the three different search pool methods provided Gurobi.
• Permit a zero MIPGAP in argument to GurobiOpts.
• The print.RapResults function now prints information in a prettier manner.
• The raptr::solve function now throws a warning if some species are poorly represented in the solution.

raptr 0.1.1

• Vignette size has been reduced.
• Updated DOI in README.

raptr 0.1.0

• Unit tests now compatible with testthat R package (version 1.0.2.9000).
• The assertthat R package is now used for validating function arguments.
• Vignette now uses knitr::rmarkdown_notangle engine to avoid running the code during package checks, and placeholder vignette file has been removed.
• Code has been linted.
• Functions from other packages are now called explicitly using pkg::function.
• Messages are now displayed using message following best practices.
• Updated readme.
• Added citation for Methods in Ecology and Evolution paper.
• Strip debugging symbols from compiled files to reduce installation size.
• The is.GurobiInstalled now does not run gurobi to avoid spurious notes during CRAN checks on academic license.

raptr 0.0.5

• Fix documentation in make.DemandPoints.
• Use \donttest instead of \dontrun for examples.
• Fix broken example code.

raptr 0.0.4

• Find out which suggested packages are installed using requireNamespace.
• Add more links to package documentation.
• Register Rcpp functions.

raptr 0.0.3

• Reduce memory consumption using external pointers.
• Fix memory leaks.
• Fix bug in tests for calcSpeciesAverageInPus.

raptr 0.0.2

• Reduce installation size.
• Fix typo in README.

raptr 0.0.1.1

• Fixed authorship typo.
• Updated README with instructions for installing from CRAN.

raptr 0.0.1

• Initial package version.
