CHANGES IN VERSION 0.6.0 (2020-05-17)

OTHER

  • Since R verson 3.6.0, staged install is the default way. Using hard coded paths outside local variables in functions will not work with staged install. Previously, .options env was used to store tutorial data related file pahts. In this release, an environmental variable (env) is not used anymore. Instead, a regular list is returned by a function. Hence, staged install is once again possible.
  • Travis CI setup has been fixed and moved to a more recent Ubuntu version (xenial).

DEPRECATED

  • Function set_tutorialdir() has been removed as it is not used anywhere within the package and the usefulness is limited.

BUG FIXES

  • R CMD check was failing because of more stringent test for multiple logical values in more recent versions of R. testthat was happily passing the tests, but checks failed. This has now been fixed.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.10 (2018-03-28)

OTHER

  • Opt-out from staged install which is going to be the default in R 3.6.0. zonator does not behave well with staged install because of some of the hardcoded paths in the package. Disabling staged install is a stopgap measure and ideally the path definition should be handled more gracefully.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.9 (2017-12-17)

OTHER

  • Update all tests to use testthat 2.0.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.8 (2017-08-20)

BUG FIXES

  • check_zonation() was failing on Solaris. This patch-release tries to fix that issue by using Sys.which() as suggested by BDR, but it cannot be tested before submitting to CRAN.
  • Remove startup notice, which claims that the package depends on package zdat. This is not true.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.7 (2017-07-09)

OTHER

  • zdat package needed for development and building the vignettes is now installed from Github using drat. Accordingly, various checks are done to condition some code to run only if zdat is installed.
  • Vignette image dimensions updated.
  • Submitted to CRAN
  • zonator website now generated using pkgdown

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.6 (2017-04-13)

NEW FEATURES

  • New method cost() can be used to extract cost data from results. Implemented for Zresults and Zvariant.
  • New utility function file_path_relative_to() can be used to dynamically construct relative paths for spp data.
  • New method copy_zvariant() can be used to create a copy of an existing variant with a new name.

OTHER

  • Tutorial data removed from zonator and placed to a separate data package zdat. This package is required for developing zonator.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.5 (2017-01-16)

NEW FEATURES

  • XXX.features_info.txt is now parsed into Zresults objects. This way, e.g. species distribution sum information becomes readilly available.

OTHER

  • Variant names in the tutorial distributed with zonator in dir inst/extdata/tutorial have been truncated to avoid unportable long paths strings.
  • Bunch of warnings generated by implicit S4 embedding and some tests have been suppressed.
  • All WARNINGs and NOTEs (except one related to the size of the data installation) gone.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.4 (2016-07-21)

NEW FEATURES

  • Variant weights can now be easily set using sppweights()<-.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.3 (2016-07-14)

NEW FEATURES

  • Define the color scheme for plot_curves() dynamically between ColorBrewer's Set1 and Set2. Where the former has better colors, the latter has more.
  • create_spp() accepts new argument recursive = TRUE which will look for rasters in target directory recursively.
  • The spp_file_dir for create_spp() accepsts multiple directories (in vector) instead of just one.
  • New utility decimalplaces() can figure out how many decimal places a number has.
  • save_zvariant() now dynamically decides how to format weight and alpha column values based on max(decimalplaces(x)) in the vector.
  • create_zproject() now actually checkst if template dat-file exists.

BUG FIXES

  • Fix default regex pattern for spp_file_pattern in create_spp(). Previous version did find .tif and .img file, but also some directories.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.2 (2016-01-19)

BUG FIXES

  • Previously all keys had to be present in current group codes when using groupnames()<-. This doesn't make much sense, so now there can be extra groups in the value being assigned as long as as all group codes are found in the keys.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.1 (2016-01-18)

BUG FIXES

  • Always update groupnames in zvariant@results@grp.curves. Fixes issue #54.
  • Beacause of the precvious, make regroup_curves() always return a ZGroupCurvesDataFrame object.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.5.0 (2016-01-06)

NEW FEATURES

  • leaf_tags() is a new utility function that can get leaf (outermost) tags and their values in a nested list (used for dat-parsing).
  • get_dat_param() can be used to get values of a (valid) Zonation run configuration parameter (i.e. the content of a dat-file) from a Zvariant object.
  • set_dat_param() can be used to set values of a (valid) Zonation run configuration parameter (i.e. the content of a dat-file) for a Zvariant object.
  • zparameters() is used to fetch all accepted Zonation run configuration parameters (i.e. parameters in the dat file). Can return just the parameter names or a list of [[parameter_name]][[section]]".
  • show() for Zvariant now prints run configuration parameters as well.
  • set_dat_param() can be used to set run configuration parameters (i.e. dat file parameters). Only valid parameters are accepted.
  • get_dat_param() can be used to get run configuration parameters (i.e. dat file parameters).
  • sppdata()<- allows spp data to be modified. This is mostly needed in creating/cpoying variants as editing spp data in place is not probably a good idea.
  • save_zvarint() saves the current state of a Zvariant object on the file system. Saving can overwrite exisiting configuration files or create new.
  • create_zproject() now stops if spp_template_dir doesn't exist.
  • Re-implementation of tools::file_path_sans_ext() that can handle periods (".") just before file extension.

BUG FIXES

  • Assigning groups to a Zvariant object when no groups were used initially failed before (see issue #45.), fixed now.

OTHER

  • read_ini() renamed to read_dat().
  • create_zproject() no longer uses "do_" prefix when generating bat files.
  • Run parameters from dat-files are now parsed as-is. Previously parameter names were cleaned up (e.g. " " and "-" removed), but this made writing dat files with correct parameter names really hard.
  • Much has been changed in the way tutorial data paths are handled internally. At some point, the whole tutorial data set will be moved to a package of its own.
  • Removed plyr from the dependencies.
  • Make depdendcy to ggplot2 >= 2.0.0. This way aes_() can be used and CHECK doesn't complain about "undefined global variables" anymore.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.4.1 (2015-12-15)

BUG FIXES

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.4.0 (2015-08-17)

NEW FEATURES

  • create_zproject() functionality has been split into two. create_zproject() now handles the creation of a completely new Zonation project (also on the file system) whereas load_zproject() can be used to load existing Zonation projects. This change creates a cleaner and more intuitice API. NOTE The API for create_zproject() has changed, so check your code.
  • Vignettes have been much improved. There is now a conceptual intro to Zonatio project-variant-results typology as well as how this typology maps into zonator classes.

BUG FIXES

  • dir.exists() replaced with file.exists() in spp-creation.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.3.14 (2015-07-27)

NEW FEATURES

  • plot_curves() accepts new argument fix.y which can be used to fix the y-axis to [0, 1]. Useful e.g. plotting runs with condition layers.
  • modified slot of a zresults object is now parsed from the run info file. Not ideal, but couldn't figure out a way how to do this reliably on Linux.
  • print() and show() methods are now implemented for objects of class Zvariant. Makes printing basic data a bit easier.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.3.13 (2015-06-14)

BUG FIXES

  • Result raster pattern matching got confused e.g. by auxiliary files created by QGIS. Regexp used to match result raster files (img/tif/asc) now better.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.3.12 (2015-06-09)

NEW FEATURES

  • New color scheme RdYlBu added. This ColorBrewer's 7-level RdYlBu palette.
  • New function create_spp() can be used to create spp files based on a directory of input raster files.
  • create_zproject() now works by giving it a directory containing input rasters based on which the spp files are created.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.3.11 (2015-06-08)

  • Update package vignettes.

NEW FEATURES

  • New tests and checks for read_ini().
  • New color scheme BrBG added. This a slight variation from ColorBrewer's 7-level BrBG scheme with the lowest value replaced with grey.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.3.10 (2014-08-12)

BUG FIXES

  • Fix imports in roxygen2 docs

  • Generic group names assigned at initiation. If Zvariant object has groups enabled, assign generic group names "group1", "group2" to groups automatically.

  • Generic group ID larger than 10 would not get mapped right because of a sloppy gsub-replacement. Regex fixed and groupnames()<- should work correctly when one has more than 10 groups.

  • get_variant() for Zproject objects now checks the input index properly (issue34)

  • Trying to get rank rasters from a set of variants with no rank rasters available caused and error, now produces warnings and returns a NA.

NEW FEATURES

  • New function ds_alpha() that can be used to calculate alpha value for distribution smoothing.

API CHANGES

  • Rename weights to sppweights so that it doesn't overwrite base generic.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.3.9 (2014-03-31)

BUG FIXES

  • Assigning group names now works correctly with generic default values and whenever groups (ids) are changed. (issue29)

  • Generic group naming now works, i.e. if group ids are changed group names get a generic value "group1", "group2" etc. (issue22)

NEW FEATURES

  • Assigning group ids with groups()<- now recalculates group specific stats (min, mean, max, weighted mean) for defined groups. In other words, it is now possible to define groups other than those defined in Zonation groups file and have the group curves data calculated for the new groups.

  • cross_jaccard() now returns a dataframe with correct RasterLayer names colnames and rownames.

  • cross_jaccard() now accpets a numeric vector of threshold values for comparison.

  • jaccard() now has additional parameters for controlling the thresholds for rasters x and y being compared. Arguments xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax can be used to control which ranges of the raster values are compared.

  • New methods for class Zproject:

    • Method rank_rasters() accepts a new argument variants which can be either a character of numeric vector of variant names / IDs defining which rank rasters are included in the RasterStack that is returned. Default is to return all.
  • New methods for class Zvariant:

    • Methods weights() returns a numeric vector of weights assigned to a variant.

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.3.8 (2014-03-17)

BUG FIXES

NEW FEATURES

  • Creating new Zproject object based on an existing Zonation project involves reading in a lot of files and it can be useful to know the sequence of reading in case something goes wront. create_zproject() now accepts a new argument debug=TRUE which enables logging of file reading sequence. (issue28)

  • New methods for class Zvariant:

    • Generic replacement method groups()<-
    • Method nfeatures() returns the number of features in a variant
