This is a major version update causing breaking changes due to multiple CRAN packages no longer available as of R version 4.2 released April 2022.
ffbase and ff and
deprecated use of lowMemory argument in spread
(ffbase was removed from CRAN April 2022).RandomFields which is no longer
maintained. We had to drop support for random landscape generation via
gaussMap(); but see the NLMR package for tools
to create random neutral landscapes.mergeRaster() can deal with rasters with different
origins extents (i.e., that were not produced using
splitRaster())spread2 was unable to use maxSize when
start was the output of a previous spread2
call to which maxSize had not been supplied. This has now
been fixed.spread2() causing failures on R-develRequire moved to Suggests, because it’s
only used in examples.splitRaster() (#62; @anbm-dk)distanceFromEachPoint: cl argument can now
accept a numeric scalar indicating how many cores to use with an
mclapply internallydistanceFromEachPoint: minor speed improvementsspread3 has new arguments (sdDist,
dispersalKernel)spread under most conditions,
especially larger events, possibly up to 2x.splitRaster() can now specify file extension, instead
of defaulting to .grddistanceFromEachPoint bugfixes under some cases (some
values of toCells, angles would cause
errors)spread with allowOverlap = TRUE would give
wrong results. Fixed.raster
changes.We have identified a non-trivial bug in spread when
using allowOverlap = TRUE. Until we can patch this bug,
using this argument value will generate an error. We are currently
working on a fix, which may take some time.
