In rgrass7: Deprecated Interface Between GRASS Geographical Information System and R

version 0.2-12 (development)

• The R package rgrass7 interfacing R and GRASS GIS will be removed from active availability on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) during October 2023; it will be archived on CRAN. This is because the successor rgrass package has been available since mid-2022, and because the rgdal package on which rgrass7 depends for exchanging files between R and GRASS GIS will also be archived in October 2023, as described in R-spatial evolution project reports (latest providing links to earlier). The main change between rgrass7 and rgrass is that terra is used in place of rgdal for file transfer between R and GRASS. rgrass7 functions have been marked as deprecated for almost a year now, and maintainers of packages using rgrass7 have been notified. Please also refer to https://rsbivand.github.io/foss4g_2022/modernizing_220822.html for more details.

• 67 deprecating minor functions too and update README

version 0.2-11 (2022-10-06)

• deprecate all functions - use rgrass, not this package

version 0.2-10 (2022-05-02)

• resolve tidy HTML markup failure

version 0.2-9 (2022-04-08)

• resolve issue #53 - logic problems in initGRASS() and gmeta() when no CRS given and when SG= is an sp object

version 0.2-8 (2022-03-05)

• readRAST(), writeRAST(), readVECT() and writeVECT() marked as deprecated

• if a single "SpatRaster" not in memory is passed to write_RAST(), no temporary file is used, and the file name is passed directly to r.in.gdal

• rgrass7 will keep dual old/new implementations, but old implementations will be deprecated at next version: readRAST(), writeRAST(), readVECT() and writeVECT()

• add re-implementations of read_VECT() and write_VECT() using terra

• add re-implementations of read_RAST() and write_RAST() using terra based on discussion in #42

• add terra to Suggests:

version 0.2-7 (2022-01-28)

• change repo name and links

• use g.remove in vect2neigh() to avoid duplicate temporary files #36

• add .github/CONTRIBUTING.md

version 0.2-6 (2021-10-01)

• 32 proj.db mismatch in Windows stand-alone GRASS 7.8.5 (9.8.6) and recent rgdal Windows CRAN binary (10.008), if WKT look-up fails, fallback to GRASS Proj4 string.

• 27 Fall-back to Proj4 if proj.db version for CRAN binary package differs from installed GRASS proj.db

• 24 Trap old rgdal in CRS lookup, see #15

version 0.2-5 (2021-01-29)

• 23 (Mira Kattwinkel) fix regression impacting openSTARS.

Version 0.2-4 (2021-01-07)

• 17-19 Suggestion and PR by Floris Vanderhaege to pass an unparsed string with a GRASS command, possible flags and parameters through execGRASS(). Implemented in stringexecGRASS().

• 20 to improve handling of GRASS commands with no flags or parameters, special-casing "g.gui", thanks to Floris Vanderhaege.

• 21-22 updating stale GRASS_PYTHON settings in initGRASS(); for GRASS >= 7.8, python3 is used, for earier GRASS python2.

Version 0.2-3 (2020-12-07)

• 14 use unambiguous error messages for use_sf(), use_sp(), thanks to Floris Vanderhaege.

• 15 Change reported CRS to WKT for GRASS >= 7.6

• 16 Better error message for OSGeo4W users using initGRASS() outside the OSGeo4W console, thanks to Floris Vanderhaege.

Version 0.2-1 (2019-08-06)

• Beginning transition from dependence on sp classes to letting the user choose sp or sf classes, pushing both choices back to Suggests.
