fmesher 0.3.0

New features

• Convert fm_bary() output to a dedicated fm_bary class, with elements 'index' (index of the containing simplex) and 'where' (matrix of barycentric weights). (version 0.2.0.9001)
• Add fm_bary_simplex() generic method to extract the simplex vertex indices for an fm_bary object. (version 0.2.0.9001)

• Add R implementation of fm_qinv() for computing sparse matrix partial inverses (version 0.2.0.9010)

Improved features

• Simplify fm_basis object creation, and add custom_classes developers vignette (version 0.2.0.9004)

Bug fixes

• Make fm_try_callstack() more robust against large callstack sizes; solves "C stack" crash issue for inla() error reporting (version 0.2.0.9007)
• Fix fm_bbox.fm_mesh_2d() bug for "S2" and "M2" manifold meshes (version 0.2.0.9008)
• Fix bug in fm_rcdt_2d_inla() that lead to ignoring the quality.spec argument (version 0.2.0.9009)

Deprecation updates

• Remove long deprecated inla.mesh etc legacy methods; need to explicitly convert old objects. Retaining the inla.mesh etc class suffixes for now. (version 0.2.0.9001)

fmesher 0.2.0

New methods

• Add print methods for fm_basis and fm_evaluator objects (version 0.1.7.9003)
• Add fm_manifold_get() generic method to extract manifold information from general objects, so that external objects can implement their own manifold information storage (version 0.1.7.9005)
• Add fm_crs_plot() method for plotting fm_crs objects with optional graticules and Tissot indicatrices (version 0.1.7.9010)

New method options

• Add full argument to fm_basis() to toggle between matrix and full fm_basis object output (version 0.1.7.9002)
• Add loc plotting option to geom_fm.fm_mesh_2d and modify the ggplot mapping interface for interior and boundary segments in the same method (version 0.1.7.9009)
• Add format="loc" argument to fm_as_sfc.fm_mesh_2d() for converting mesh node coordinates to sfc_POINT format (version 0.1.7.9009)

Minor updates

• Update documentation and vector coordinate inputs to fm_lattice_2d() to clarify input interpretation and ensure correct boundary orientation (version 0.1.7.9001)
• Add some length unit handling to fm_crs_bounds() (version 0.1.7.9008)
• Add control argument max_batch_size to fm_bary.fm_mesh_2d(), that can be supplied via fm_basis(), for optional override of the default maximal batch calculation size, see #14 (version 0.1.7.9011)

Deprecation updates

• Remove sp objects from fmexample data. Use fmexample_sp() to access them if needed (version 0.1.7.9004)
• Move sp dependency to Suggests, and remove inlabru dependency (version 0.1.7.9006)
• Further sp use protection (version 0.1.7.9007)
• Increased deprecation warning and error messages for old unsupported methods

fmesher 0.1.7

• Fix regression bug in fm_manifold() that made it ignore all but the first given type options. See #16 (version `0.1.6.9001)
• Fix plot.fm_mesh_2d vectorisation bug (version 0.1.6.9002)
• Add new fm_subdivide() method for fm_mesh_2d meshes (version 0.1.6.9003)

fmesher 0.1.6

• Fix for hiding away-facing triangle edges in plot.fm_mesh_2d() and lines.fm_segm().

• Use batched fm_bary.fm_mesh_2d() computations for data sizes of 2e5 and upwards. This improves performance of fm_basis()/inla.spde.make.A() for large data sets, see #14 (version 0.1.5.9002)
• Automatically convert raw sfc samplers objects to sf objects in fm_int.list() (version 0.1.5.9003)

• Add fm_CRS() support for terra objects (version 0.1.5.9006)

fmesher 0.1.5

• Fix bug in fm_matern_sample() that prevented the use of a non-NULL loc argument. For earlier versions, the workaround is to make a separate call to fm_evaluate() after calling fm_matern_sample().
• Improve speed of fm_block_log_shift() by an order of magnitude for multi-block cases.
• Fix bug in plot.fm_mesh_2d for meshes with 2D coordinate storage (version 0.1.4.9002)

fmesher 0.1.4

• Work around std::get<variant>() lack of support for MacOS < 10.14.

fmesher 0.1.3

• Fix bug in fm_rcdt_2d_inla() that gave different defaults for the extend and refine arguments when equal to TRUE, that should be treated the same as list() (version 0.1.2.9001)
• Fix bug in fm_rcdt_2d_inla() to properly update n basis counter element when removing unused vertices. (version 0.1.2.9002)
• Fix bug giving a spurious warning about inconsistent is.bnd for empty fm_segm objects, and inconsistent grp vector lengths. (version 0.1.2.9003)
• Convert some of the old potentially unsafe C++ pointer methods to type safe C++17 features

fmesher 0.1.2

• Various documentation improvements, in particular for INLA compatibility
• Modify mesh refinement tests to directly check the refinement criteria instead of the specific mesh result, to account for differences in floating point behaviour on M1 processors.
• Modify tests of non-mesh-generation features to use precomputed meshes or meshes with stable properties
• Protect against invalid tv inputs
• Revert from \text{} to \textrm{}, as AMS extensions are only supported from R 4.2.2 (https://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.pdf 2023-08-24, page 90), and CRAN oldrel for macOS is 4.2.0, not 4.2.3
