mapme.biodiversity 0.5.0

General

• Quickstart vignette uses the WorldPop resource instead of CHIRPS, not
  relying on a working internet connection (#230).

New features

• GFW resources and indicators include latest GFC-2022-v1.10 version (#203).
• Raster resources with a CRS different from WGS84 are now supported (#213).

Breaking changes

• The argument add_resources to init_portfolio() is deprecated. This
  means that get_resources() has to be run in every new R session to make
  resource available for further processing (#219).
• Rasters are now cropped to the spatial extent of an asset with setting
  snap="out", thus delivering a slightly bigger extent (#212).

Bug Fixes

• calc_indicators() checks for 0-length tibbles (#196, #199, #215).
• Fix bug with reading rasters with temporal dimensions (#209).
• All raster cells touching a polygon are now returned (#208).

  single temporal rasters) (#211).
• Rasters are cropped using snap="out" by default (#212).

  as sf objects instead of being written to disk (#219).
• .read_raster_source() now applies a precision round-trip of 5 decimal point
  to match rasters with slight changes in their spatial extent (#217).
• register_resource() and register_indicator() now issue warnings for
  resources/indicators with names already registered and overwrites them (#220).

mapme.biodiversity 0.4.0

New features

• added new resource called ucdp_ged providing a database of violent conflict
  from 1989 to today

• added a new indicator called fatalities aggregating number of deaths
  by type of conflict on a monthly time scale based on the ucdp_ged resource.

• Added a new resource called fritz_et_al providing a raster layer of deforestation

• added a new resource called fritz_et_al providing a raster layer of deforestation
  drivers in tropical forests based on Fritz et al. (2022)

• added a new indicator called deforestation_drivers using the fritz_et_al resource
  to obtain information on the absolute and relative area driving forest losses in
  assets for the period 2008-2019

• added two new exported functions register_resource() and register_indicator()
  which allow users to register custom functions for resources/indicators

• added a new vignette for the web-version of the package only informing
  about how to obtain wide-output from indicators

  FIRMS resource in the example section

Breaking changes

• Changed the parallel backend to the future
  package. Parallel processing is now implemented by
  furrr::future_map()
  on the asset level within the calc_indicators() function. User code is now
  required to set up a plan()
  to enable parallel processing. The function call needs to be wrapped on the user
  side with progressr::with_progress()
  to show a progress bar.

• mapme.biodiversity no longer sets terra's temporal directory for you.
  Instead you have to call terra::terraOptions() manually

Bug Fixes

  exactly once (#177)

  the usage of snapshot tests as far as possible (#142)

• rundir and todisk arguments removed from indicator functions since they were
  of no practical use

• instead of a resource and indicator backlog, resources and indicators are now
  registered to .pkgenv and queried there during runtime. This also allows
  users to register custom resources/indicator functions

• removed deprecation warnings for old resource/indicator name

CRAN release v0.3.0

mapme.biodiversity 0.3.0

Breaking changes

• on MacOS s2-based calculations are now enabled so users can expect the package
  to return numerically equivalent results on any operating system (#131)

• the online source for the nasa_srtm resource shows an expired SSL certificate

  tested and handled (#101)

  instead of a tibble was fixed (#116)

• both, treecoverloss_emissions and treecover_area_and_emissions now return
  0 instead of NaN for observation years where now forest loss occurred (#120)

Internal

• .make_global_grid() now specifies the CRS when constructing the bounding box
  and returns the grid in the specified CRS instead of Lat/Lon (#113)

• .calc_active_fire_properties now uses st_coordinates to retrieve locations
  of fires (#119, @DavisVaughan)

• tests for MacOS have been re-enabled (#131)

• tests for downloading nasa_srtm resource are skipped because the SSL certificate
  of the online source has expired (#131)
