prioritizr 8.0.3.6

Fix bug in add_shuffle_portfolio() so that optimization problems are randomly shuffled when a single solution is requested. This update should help prevent "strange" solutions that contain long horizontal lines/bands of planning units (#205, #268).
Update add_contiguity_constraints() and add_feature_contiguity_constraints() to be compatible with updates to the igraph package.
Update write_problem() so that it can use the gurobi package to write problems (if desired). This substantially reduces run time, because writing problems using the Rsymphony packages also requires solving them.

Update publication record.

prioritizr 8.0.3.5

Update presolve_check() to throw warning if a problem has a single feature (#309). Thanks to Sandra Neubert (\@sandra-neubert) for code contribution.
Update print() and summary() for problem() objects so that all text is printed at once (rather than sequentially).
Fix write_problem() so that it works as expected (#312).
Update problem(), add_linear_constraints(), add_linear_penalties(), add_locked_in_constraints(), add_locked_out_constraints(), adjacency_matrix(), binary_stack(), category_layer(), connectivity_matrix(),fast_extract(), intersecting_units(), proximity_matrix(), rij_matrix(), simulate_data(), simulate_species(), simulate_cost(), and zones() and other functions so that they will throw an error if a categorical terra::rast() object is provided as an argument (#313). This is because categorical rasters are not supported. Thanks to Martin Jung (\@Martin-Jung) for bug report.
Fix NAMESPACE issues related to registration of internal S3 methods.
Fix bug with problem() not throwing multiple warnings with unusual data (e.g., given cost and feature data with negative values, previously only a single warning about negative costs would be thrown). Thanks to Sandra Neubert (\@sandra-neubert) for bug report.

Update publication record.
Update package-level manual entry.
Update URLs.

prioritizr 8.0.3.4

Update problem() to be more memory efficient when using a sparse matrix (dgCMatrix) argument for the rij_matrix parameter.

Update publication record.

prioritizr 8.0.3

CRAN release.

prioritizr 8.0.2.7

We have developed a better approach for rescaling boundary data to avoid numerical issues during optimization (#297). Earlier versions of the package recommended the use of the scales::rescale() to rescale such data. However, we now realize that this approach can produce inconsistencies for boundary length data (e.g., the total perimeter of a planning unit might not necessarily equal the sum of the edge lengths). In some cases, these inconsistencies can cause solutions generated with high boundary penalties (i.e., using add_boundary_penalties() with a high penalty value) to contain a large reserve (i.e., a spatial cluster of selected of planning units) with a single unselected planning unit in the middle of the reserve. In the the worst case, these inconsistencies produce a situation where increasing boundary penalties (i.e., generating multiple solutions with add_boundary_penalties() and increasing penalty values) does not alter the spatial configuration of solutions. Although use of scales::rescale() did not produce such behavior prior to version 8.0.0, changes to the output format for boundary_matrix() in subsequent versions now mean that scales::rescale() can cause these issues. We now recommend using the new rescale_matrix() function to rescale boundary length data to avoid numerical issues, whilst also avoid such inconsistencies.

New rescale_matrix() function to help with rescaling boundary length (e.g., generated using boundary_matrix()) and connectivity (e.g., generated using connectivity_matrix()) data so avoid numerical issues during optimization (#297). Thanks to Jason Flower (\@jflowernet) and Joan Giménez Verdugo for bug reports.

Update the print() and summary() methods for problem() objects so that they will now better describe situations when the planning cost data all contain a constant value (e.g., all costs equal to 1).

Update examples and vignettes to use the rescale_matrix() function instead of the scales::rescale() function for rescaling boundary length and connectivity data (#297).
Update publication record.

prioritizr 8.0.2.6

Update add_neighbors_constraints() so that it has an additional clamp argument so the minimum number of neighbors permitted for each planning unit in the solution is clamped to the number of neighbors that each planning unit has. For example, if a planning unit has 2 neighbors, k = 3, and clamp = FALSE, then the planning unit could not ever be selected in the solution. However, if clamp = TRUE, then the planning unit could potentially be selected in the solution if both of its 2 neighbors were also selected.

Fix issue with problem() that prevents features being supplied as a data.frame that contains feature names stored as a factor (#295). Thanks to Carl Boetigger (\@cboettig) for bug report.

Fix URLs.

prioritizr 8.0.2.5

Update problem() so that it will throw a meaningful error message if the user accidentally specifies the geometry column for sf planning unit data as a feature.

prioritizr 8.0.2.4

Fix compatibility with updates to terra package.
Fix rij_matrix() so that it works when none of the raster layers being processed fit into memory (#290). Thanks to Edwards Marc (\@edwardsmarc) for bug report.
Fix spatial extent of built-in raster datasets so that extents are between 0 and 1 (i.e., get_sim_pu_raster(), get_sim_locked_in_raster(), get_sim_locked_out_raster(), get_sim_zones_pu_raster(), get_sim_features(), get_sim_zones_features()).
Update add_manual_locked_constraints() and add_manual_bounded_constraints() so that the indices in the specified in the argument data$pu should consistently refer to the total units. In other words, the indices in data$pu should refer to the row numbers (for planning units in sf or data.frame format) or cell numbers (for planning units in Raster or SpatRaster format) of the planning units that should be locked.
Fix warnings thrown due to package version comparisons.

Update publication record.

prioritizr 8.0.2.3

Export solve.ConservationProblem() so that it can be called directly (#283). Thanks to Tin Buenafe (\@SnBuenafe) for bug report.

Update publication record.

prioritizr 8.0.2.2

Fix compatibility with highs package (version 0.1-10) (#281).

Update publication record.

prioritizr 8.0.2.1

Update problem() so that an error will be thrown if argument to features contains only missing (NA) values (e.g., an sf object is supplied that has NA values in all rows for a feature's column).

Update publication record.

prioritizr 8.0.2

The package has been updated to focus on using the sf and terra package for spatial vector and raster datasets. This is because the sf package is the successor to the sp package, and the terra package is the successor to the raster package. By leveraging these newer packages, the prioritizr package can provide better performance. Although sp and raster package classes (e.g., raster::stack() and sp::SpatialPolyonsDataFrame()) are still supported, the prioritizr package will now throw deprecation warnings. Since support for the sp and raster package classes will be fully deprecated and removed in a later version this year, we recommend updating code to use the sf and terra packages.

All proto classes have been migrated to R6 classes. This update reduces memory usage (#238), so problem() objects can now contain many more constraints and penalties. Note that any problem() objects that were produced using earlier versions of the package are no longer compatible. Thanks to Jason Flower (\@jflowernet) for bug report on memory issues.
The proto, raster, sf, sp packages are no longer automatically loaded alongside prioritizr. As such, users will need to load them manually (e.g., using library(sf)).
The built-in datasets have been removed and replaced with functions to import them as needed (i.e., get_sim_pu_raster(), get_sim_pu_polygons(), get_sim_pu_lines(), get_sim_pu_points(),, get_sim_locked_in_raster(), get_sim_locked_out_raster(), get_sim_zones_pu_raster(), get_sim_zones_pu_polygons(), get_sim_phylogeny(), get_sim_features(), get_sim_zones_features()). These functions now return sf::st_sf(), terra::rast(), ape::read.tree() and zones() objects. Note that these functions are provided because data(...) cannot be used with terra::rast() objects. See ?data for more information.
The boundary_matrix() output format has been updated. This means that users will not be able to use boundary data generated using previous versions of the package.
The add_lpsymphony_solver() now throws an error, instead of a warning, if an old version of the lpsymphony package is installed that is known to produce incorrect results.
The marxan_boundary_data_to_matrix() function is no longer compatible with boundary data for multiple zones.
The distribute_load() function has been deprecated, because it is no longer used. For equivalent functionality, See parallel::splitIndices().
The new_optimization_problem() and predefined_optimization_problem() functions have been superseded by the new optimization_problem() function.
To simplify package documentation and functionality, the following functions are no longer exported: is.Waiver(), add_default_decisions() new_id(), is.Id(), print.Id(), pproto().
Updates to improve the error messages and error message handling. Hopefully, users should no longer see "bad error message"!

The print() function for problem(), optimization_problem(), and zones() objects has been updated to provide more information.
New summary() function to provide extensive detail on problem() objects.

Fix bug for add_feature_weights() when applied to problems with an add_max_phylo_div_objective() or add_max_phylo_end_objectve(). Specifically, the bug meant that weights weren't being applied to problems with these particular objectives.
Fix instructions in add_gurobi_solver() documentation for opening vignette.
Update solver functions to provide instructions for installing dependencies in error messages when their dependencies are not available.
To ensure consistency among the portfolio functions, all of them (except for add_extra_portfolio()) default to generating 10 solutions.
The solve() function will now output tibble::tibble() objects (instead of data.frame() objects), when the planning unit data are tibble::tibble() objects.
The boundary_matrix() function now uses terra::sharedPaths() for calculations, providing greater performance (#257). Thanks to Jason Flower (\@jflowernet) for bug report.
The eval_ferrier_importance() function can now be used with any objective function that uses targets and a single zone.
Fix CRAN note regarding C++ standards (#263).
Remove doParallel and plyr packages as dependencies by simplifying the add_shuffle_portfolio() and eval_replacement_importance() functions.

Assorted tweaks to improve writing in the vignettes and documentation. Many thanks to Marc Edwards (\@edwardsmarc) for code contribution!

prioritizr 7.2.0.2

Fix bug in processing planning unit data when a problem is constructed using arguments to (i) x that are numeric or matrix format, (ii) x that contain missing (NA) values, and (iii) rij_matrix that are in dgCMatrix format. This bug only occurred when all three of these specific conditions were met. When it occurred, the bug caused planning units with NA cost values to receive very high cost values (e.g., 1e+300). This bug meant that when attempting to solve the problem, the presolve checks (per presolve_check()) would throw an error complaining about very high cost values (#236). Thanks to \@lmathon for bug report.

prioritizr 7.2.0.1

Update publication record.

prioritizr 7.2.0.0

Update add_connectivity_penalties() function and documentation so that it is designed specifically for symmetric connectivity data.

New add_asym_connectivity_penalties() function that is designed specifically for asymmetric connectivity data. This function has been created to help ensure that asymmetric connectivity data are handled correctly. For instance, using asymmetric connectivity data with add_connectivity_penalties() function in previous versions of the package sometimes resulted in the data being incorrectly treated as symmetric data. Additionally, this function uses an updated mathematical formulation for handling asymmetric connectivity so that it provides similar results to the Marxan software (#223). Thanks to Nina Faure Beaulieu (\@ninzyfb) for bug report.

Fix add_locked_in_constraints() and add_locked_out_constraints() to ensure that a meaningful error message is provided when no planing units are locked (#234). Thanks to Alec Nelson (\@AlecNelson) for bug report.
Fix presolve_check() so that it does not throw a meaningless warning when the mathematical objective function only contains zeros.
Update presolve_check() to help reduce chances of mis-attributing high connectivity/boundary values due to planning unit costs.
Update marxan_problem() function so that it can be used with asymmetric connectivity data. This is now possible because there are dedicated functions for symmetric and asymmetric connectivity.

Update add_rsymphony_solver(), add_lpsymphony_solver(), and add_gurobi_solver() functions to require logical (TRUE/FALSE) arguments for the first_feasible parameter.
Update add_default_solver() function so that it prefers add_lpsymphony_solver() over add_rsymphony_solver(), and add_cbc_solver() over all open source solvers.

Previous versions of the package reported that the gap parameter for the add_rsymphony_solver() and add_lpsymphony_solver() corresponded to the maximum absolute difference from the optimal objective value. This was an error due to misunderstanding the SYMPHONY documentation. Under previous versions of the package, the gap parameter actually corresponded to a relative optimality gap expressed as a percentage (such thatgap = 10 indicates that solutions must be at least 10% from optimality). We have now fixed this error and the documentation described for the gap parameter is correct. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Update replacement_cost() function to use parallel processing to speed up calculations (#119).

prioritizr 4.1.2.5

Update add_gurobi_solver(), add_lpsymphony_solver(), and add_rsymphony_solver() functions so that they will not return solutions with values less than zero or greater than one when solving problems with proportion-type decisions. This issue is the result of inconsistent precision when performing floating point arithmetic (#117). Thanks to Martin Jung (\@Martin-Jung) for bug report.
Update add_locked_in_constraints() and add_locked_out_constraints() functions to provide a more helpful error message the locked_in/locked_out argument refers to a column with data that are not logical (i.e. TRUE/FALSE; #118). Thanks to Martin Jung (\@Martin-Jung) for bug report.

The feature_representation() function now requires missing (NA) values for planning unit statuses in a solution for planning units that have missing (NA) cost data.

prioritizr 4.0.4.1

New presolve_check() function to investigate potential sources of numerical instability before trying to solve a problem. The manual entry for this function discusses common sources of numerical instability and approaches for fixing them.

The solve() function will now use the presolve_check() function to verify that problems do not have obvious sources of numerical instability before trying to solve them. If a problem is likely to have numerical instability issues then this function will now throw an error (unless the solve(x, force = TRUE)).
The add_rsymphony_solver() function now uses sparse matrix formats so that attempts can be made to solve large problems with SYMPHONY---though it is unlikely that SYMPHONY will be able to solve such problems in a feasible period of time.
Fix warnings thrown by the tibble package when calling tibble::as.tibble() instead of tibble::as_tibble().

prioritizr 4.0.2.13

Fix assorted bugs in the render, setter, and getter parameter functions for ConservationProblem-class objects. These methods were implemented to be used in future interactive applications and are not currently used in the package. As a consequence, these bugs do not affect the correctness of any results.

prioritizr 4.0.2.12

Fix bad error message error being thrown when input rasters are not comparable (i.e. same coordinate reference system, extent, resolutions, and dimensionality) (#104). Thanks to \@faengl for bug report.

Add Domisch et al. (2019) to publication record vignette.

prioritizr 4.0.2.11

Fix issue solve() printing annoying text about tbl_df (#75). Thanks to Javier Fajardo (\@javierfajnolla) for bug report.

prioritizr 4.0.2.10

Tweak add_max_features_objective() example code.

prioritizr 4.0.2.9

Update publication record vignette.

prioritizr 4.0.2.8

Fix bug where the add_neighbor_constraints() and add_contiguity_constraints() functions used more memory than they actually needed (#102). This is because the argument validation code converted sparse matrix objects (i.e. dgCMatrix) to base objects (i.e. matrix) class temporarily. This bug only meant inefficient utilization of computer resources---it did not affect the correctness of any results.

prioritizr 4.0.2.7

New add_mandatory_allocation_constraints() function. This function can be used to ensure that every planning unit is allocated to a management zone in the solution. It is useful when developing land-use plans where every single parcel of land must be assigned to a specific land-use zone.

Fix bug in the $find(x) method for Collection prototypes that caused it to throw an error incorrectly. This method was not used in earlier versions of this package.

Add the add_mandatory_allocation_constraints() to the Management Zones and Prioritizr vignettes.

prioritizr 4.0.2.6

Fix bug the feature_representation() function that caused the "amount_held" column to have NA values instead of the correct values. This bug only affected problems with multiple zones.

prioritizr 4.0.2.5

Fix bug in argument validation code for the category_layer() function that it this function to incorrectly throw an error claiming that the input argument to x was invalid when it was in fact valid. This bug is encountered when different layers the argument to x have non-NA values in different cells.

prioritizr 4.0.2.4

Update instructions for activating Gurobi licenses on remote machines (#98).

prioritizr 4.0.2.3

The add_contiguity_constraints() function now uses sparse matrix formats internally for single-zone problems. This means that the constraints can be applied to single-zoned problem with many more planning units.

prioritizr 4.0.2.2

The add_connectivity_penalties() function now uses sparse matrix formats internally for single-zone problems. This means that connectivity penalties can be applied to single-zoned problem with many more planning units.

prioritizr 4.0.2.1

Update warning text when compiling problems that contain (i) objective functions that do not use targets and (ii) targets (#93).

Update documentation for the add_max_utility_objective() and add_max_cover_objective() functions to make it clearer that they do not use targets (#94).

prioritizr 4.0.2

Release candidate for CRAN.

prioritizr 4.0.1.6

Fix bug in add_locked_in_constraints() and add_locked_out_constraints() that incorrectly threw an error when using logical locked data (i.e. TRUE/FALSE) because it incorrectly thought that valid inputs were invalid.
Fix bug in add_locked_in_constraints(), add_locked_out_constraints(), and add_manual_locked_constraints() where solving the same problem object twice resulted in incorrect planning units being locked in or out of the solution (#92). Thanks to Javier Fajardo (\@javierfajnolla) for bug report.
Added unit tests for objectives, constraints, decisions, targets, and penalties to ensure that solving problems twice does not result in different solutions.

prioritizr 4.0.1.5

Fix bug in feature_abundances() that caused the solve function to throw an error when attempting to solve problems with a single feature.
Fix bug in add_cuts_portfolio() that caused the portfolio to return solutions that were not within the specified optimality gap when using the Gurobi solver.
Add the ability to specify the search pool method and number of solutions to the add_pool_portfolio() function.

prioritizr 4.0.1.4

The feature_representation() function now allows numeric solutions with attributes (e.g. when output by the solve() function) when calculating representation statistics for problems with numeric planning unit data (#91). Thanks to Javier Fajardo (\@javierfajnolla) for bug report.
The add_manual_targets() function threw a warning when some features had targets equal to zero. This resulted in an excessive amount of warnings. Now, warnings are thrown for targets that are less then zero.
The problem() function sometimes incorrectly threw a warning that feature data had negative values when the data actually did not contain negative values. This has now been addressed.

prioritizr 4.0.1.3

The problem function now allows negative values in the cost and feature data (and throws a warning if such data are detected).
The add_absolute_targets() and add_manual_targets() functions now allow negative targets (but throw a warning if such targets are specified).
The compile function throws an error if a problem is compiled using the expanded formulation with negative feature data.
The add_absolute_targets() function now throws an warning---instead of an error---if the specified targets are greater than the feature abundances in planning units to accommodate negative values in feature data.

prioritizr 4.0.1.2

Fix add_max_cover_objective() in prioritizr vignette (#90).

prioritizr 4.0.1.1

The add_loglinear_targets() function now includes a feature_abundances() parameter for specifying the total amount of each feature to use when calculating the targets (#89). Thanks to Liz Law (\@lizlaw) for suggestion.

The add_relative_targets() documentation now makes it clear that locked out planning units are included in the calculations for setting targets (#89).

prioritizr 4.0.1

Release candidate for CRAN.

prioritizr 4.0.0.12

Update the Management zones tutorial.

prioritizr 4.0.0.8

Add instructions for setting up the Gurobi Academic license on a computer that it is not connected to a university computer network using a computer that is on an academic network (#81). For example, these instructions could be used to set up Gurobi on a cloud-based system using a laptop computer that is connected a university's wireless network.

prioritizr 4.0.0.7

The add_cuts_portfolio() function uses the Gurobi solution pool to generate unique solutions within a specified gap of optimality when tasked with solving problems with Gurobi (version 8.0.0+) (#80).

prioritizr 4.0.0.6

New add_pool_portfolio() function to generate a portfolio of solutions using the Gurobi solution pool (#77).

prioritizr 4.0.0.5

The boundary_matrix() function now has the experimental functionality to use GEOS STR trees to speed up processing (#74).
Solutions obtained from Gurobi that contain binary-type decisions are explicitly rounded to the nearest integer. This is because Gurobi can output solutions to binary problems that contain values which not exactly zero or one (e.g. 0.9999997 using default settings) (#78).

prioritizr 4.0.0.4

New feature_representation() function to how well features are represented in solutions (#73).

prioritizr 4.0.0.3

The prioritizrdata package has been listed under Suggests.

The vignettes in the prioritizrdata package have been moved to this package to make them easier to find.

The problem() function now accepts Zone objects as arguments for feature to create problems with multiple zones.
The add_relative_targets() and add_absolute_targets() functions for adding targets to problems can be used to specify targets for each feature in each zone.
The solve() function now returns a list of solutions when generating a portfolio of solutions.
All functions for adding constraints and penalties now have parameters that specify how they should treat planning units allocate to different zones (using the zones parameter) and specify how they they should be applied (using the data parameter. All of these functions have default arguments that mean that problems with a single zone should have the same optimal solution as problems created in the earlier version of the package.

The add_locked_in_constraints() and add_locked_out_constraints() functions for specifying which planning units are locked in or out now accept matrix arguments for specifying which zones are locked in or out.
The add_feature_weights() function can be used to weight different the representation of each feature in each zone.

New Management zones vignette on building and solving problems with multiple management zones.
Added mention of zones functionality to package DESCRIPTION, summary (i.e., ?prioritizr), and README.
The Quick Start Guide and Prioritizr Basics vignettes have been consolidated into the prioritizr vignette.
The marxan_problem() has been updated with more comprehensive documentation and to provide more helpful error messages. For clarity, it will now only work with tabular data in the standard Marxan format.

prioritizr 3.0.3.6

Fix typo in README.
Update documentation for add_boundary_penalties() (#62). Thanks to Liz Law (\@lizlaw) for report.

prioritizr 3.0.3.5

Fix bug where add_locked_in_constraints() and add_locked_out_constraints() throw an exception when used with semi-continuous-type decisions (#59).
Error message in compile() thrown when the same planning unit is locked in and locked out now prints the planning unit indices in a readable format.

Update compile() to work when no solvers are installed (#41).
Gap arguments in add_*_solvers are now unbounded and can accept values larger than 1 (#44).

prioritizr 3.0.1

Release candidate for CRAN.

prioritizr 3.0.0.0

The add_max_cover_objective() function has been renamed to the add_max_utility_objective(), because the formulation does not follow the historical formulation of the maximum coverage reserve selection problem (#38).
The add_max_cover_objective() function now follows the historical maximum coverage objective. This fundamentally changes add_max_cover_objective() function and breaks compatibility with previous versions (#38).

Update add_lpsymphony_solver() examples and tests to skip on Linux operating systems.
Add tests to unit tests that were being skipped in new version of testthat package.

Included vignette on Gurobi solver installation and testing.

prioritizr 2.0.1.0

Fixed bug where Spatial*DataFrame input to marxan_problem() would always use the first column in the attribute table for the cost data. This bug is serious so analysis that used Spatial*DataFrame inputs in marxan_problem() should be rerun.

Added functionality to use feature abundance/occurrence data stored as columns in the planning unit data when constructing problem() objects.

prioritizr 2.0.0.2

Skip add_cuts_portfolio() on Travis.

prioritizr 2.0.0.1

Skip add_cuts_portfolio() and add_shuffle_portfolio() tests on CRAN.

prioritizr 2.0.0.0

This version breaks compatibility with previous releases because solutions in data.frame and Spatial*DataFrame objects are now stored in columns named "solution_*" (e.g. "solution_1") to store multiple solutions.
Solutions now contain additional information in stored in the object's attributes (#24). See README.Rmd for examples on accessing this information.

Added support for multiple solutions (#23).

Add logical verbose argument to all solvers. This replaces the verbosity
The verbosity of information presented when solving problems using add_lpsymphony_solver() and add_rsymphony_solver() is reduced.

Tidy examples in add_gurobi_solver.R, add_lpsymphony_solver.R, add_rsymphony_solver.R, and solvers.R. argument in add_lpsymphony_solver() and add_rsymphony_solver().
Assorted spelling mistakes have been fixed.

prioritizr 1.0.2.3

ConservationProblem$print() now only prints the first three species names and a count of the total number of features. This update means that ConservationProblem objects with lots of features can now safely be printed without polluting the R console.
Fix bug where lpsymphony and Rsymphony solvers would return solutions containing NA values if they did not find a feasible solution within the argument to time_limit.

Attempt to make equations in help files prettier.

prioritizr 1.0.2.2

Passes CRAN checks on Winbuilder.
Added roxygen2 to Suggests for Travis CI.

prioritizr 1.0.1.6

Simplify vignette workflow. Vignettes can now be compiled by using devtools::build_vignettes(). Earlier versions needed the vignettes to be compiled using the Makefile to copy files around to avoid tangled R code causing failures during R CMD CHECK. Although no longer needed, the vignettes can still be compiled using the shell command make vigns if desired.
Make the data.table package automatically installed when prioritizr is installed (#18).
Move shiny, shinydashboard, and leaflet packages to Imports to avoid polluting users environment.
Update preliminary versions of the shiny apps to call functions from other packages explicitly.
Lint objective function definition files.
Added rmarkdown package to Suggests following recommended practices.

The README.Rmd now lives in the top-level directory following standard practices. It should now be complied using rmarkdown::render("README.Rmd") or using the shell command make readme. Note that the figures for README.md can be found in the directory man/figures.
The example for prshiny will now only be run if executed during an interactive R session. Prior to this R CMD CHECK would hang.
UTF-8 math characters in vignettes have been replaced with with MathJax compatible latex expressions.
R code in the vignettes has been linted to follow the package's style guide.
Fix example in vignette quick_start.Rmd showing how to run marxan_problem() using input data.frame() objects.
Fix bug in vignette quick_start.Rmd counting number of selected planning units
README.Rmd tweaks to make it look prettier on website.
Remove "\text" latex sequences from objective function definition files because CRAN doesn't support amsmath extensions in equations.
Update examples in objective function files to only show relevant objectives

prioritizr 1.0.1.5

Enable 64 bit Armadillo flag. This increases the maximum size of problems that can be solved.
Disable bound-checks in Armadillo matrix operations. This should reduce processing time when running the compile() function.

prioritizr 1.0.1.4

Fix bug in problem.data.frame that meant that it did not check for missing values in rij$pu.

prioritizr 1.0.1.3

Fix bugs add_absolute_targets() and add_relative_targets` related to their standardGeneric being incorrectly defined
Reduce installation size using Dirk Eddelbuettel's awesome advice: http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2017/08/14#009_compact_shared_libraries
Fix bug in add_corridor_targets() when argument connectivities is a list. The elements in the list are assumed to be dsCMatrix objects (aka symmetric sparse matrices in a compressed format) and are coerced to dgCMatrix objects to reduce computational burden. There was a typo, however, and so the objects were coerced to dgCmatrix and not dgCMatrix. This evidently was ok in earlier versions of the RcppArmadillo and/or Matrix packages but not in the most recent versions.

prioritizr 1.0.1.2

Fix bug in problem() causing node stack overflows (#21). Thanks to Dan Rosauer (\DanRosauer) for bug report.
