v0.8.0

What's Changed

From NEWS:

Breaking changes

• Changed make_transition() to use jarasterize() (see New Features) and
  added input arg buffer.

  • Removed dependence on gdalUtilities.
  • fixes issue #234

• Removed make_transition2() (deprecated in 0.7) and make_transition3().
  Also removed dependence on fasterize.

  • fixes issue #67

• Updated example TransitionLayer object greatLakesTrLayer using new
  make_transition() and great_lakes_polygon (an sf object) . The new version
  has the same cell size (resolution) as the previous, but different extents
  (matches great_lakes_polygon, so returned values (with same input) will differ
  from earlier versions.

  • fixes issue #219

• Removed 'gganimate_handout' (pdf and html) from 'vignettes'.

New features

• Add new function vue_convert() to convert VRL file to CSV file (detection
  records only; receiver event log records are not supported).

  • replaces vrl2csv() (deprecated).

• Add new function vdat_convert() to convert VRL or VDAT files to
  Fathom/VDAT CSV.

• Add new functions for reading data exported from VRL with VUE software.

  • read_vue_detection_csv() to read data from detection file exported
    from VUE or created using vue_convert() or vrl2csv().
  • read_vue_event_csv() to read data from receiver event log file exported
    from VUE.

• Add new function read_vdat_csv() to read data exported from VRL or VDAT
  using VDAT.exe (e.g., using vdat_convert()).

• Add new functions to create, check, and validate glatos_animals objects:

  • glatos_animals() to construct a glatos_animals object from
    individual vectors (one for each column) and optionally check for required
    column names and classes using validate_glatos_animals().
  • as_glatos_animals() to coerce a data.frame, or object that
    inherits from data.frame, to glatos_animals and optionally check for
    required column names and classes using validate_glatos_animals().
  • is_glatos_animals() to check class attribute for "glatos_animals".
  • validate_glatos_animals() to check for existence of required column
    names and classes.
  • fixes issue #126
  • fixes issue #78

• Add new functions to create, check, and validate glatos_detections objects:

  • glatos_detections() to construct a glatos_detections object from
    individual vectors (one for each column) and optionally check for required
    column names and classes using validate_glatos_detections().
  • as_glatos_detections() to coerce a data.frame, or object that
    inherits from data.frame, to glatos_detections and optionally check for
    required column names and classes using validate_glatos_detections().
  • is_glatos_detections() to check class attribute for "glatos_detections".
  • validate_glatos_detections() to check for existence of required column
    names and classes.
  • fixes issue #126
  • fixes issue #78

• Add new functions to create, check, and validate glatos_recievers objects:

  • glatos_receivers() to construct a glatos_receivers object from
    individual vectors (one for each column) and optionally check for required
    column names and classes using validate_glatos_receivers().
  • as_glatos_receivers() to coerce a data.frame, or object that
    inherits from data.frame, to glatos_receivers and optionally check for
    required column names and classes using validate_glatos_receivers().
  • is_glatos_receivers() to check class attribute for "glatos_receivers".
  • validate_glatos_receivers() to check for existence of required column
    names and classes.
  • fixes issue #126
  • fixes issue #78

• Add new function jarasterize() to allow rasterization
  (esp. with all_touched = TRUE) using only sf and raster.
  Used by make_transition().

• Add new function scale_meters_to_degrees() to inform selection of res
  argument to make_transition().

• In make_frames(), allow terra::SpatVector input for background map
  (bg_map arg).

  • add test for terra::SpatVector input

• Add new function detection_range_model() for estimating detection range at which a certain detection efficiency is expected, using output from Innovasea's range testing software.

Bug fixes and minor changes

• Add @srs slot to greatLakesTrLayer data object and rename file
  'data/greatLakesTrLayer.rda'.

  • fixes issue #213

• Fix bug in read_glatos_workbook() where timestamps during daylight savings
  were shifted one hour on linux operating system (not an issue on windows or
  mac).

  • fixes issue #208

• Omit data.table from class of object returned by read_glatos_detections()
  and read_glatos_receivers().

  • fixes issue #200

• Fix typo in Description to Suggest 'gifski' (not 'gifsky').

  • fixes issue #185

• Various changes to resolve R CMD check errors, warning, and notes (generally
  not user-facing).

v0.7.1

What's Changed

• hotfix- fixed coordinate limit error by @haydento in #206

Full Changelog: v0.7.0...v0.7.1

0.7.0

glatos 0.7.0 (2024-01-04)

Bug fixes and minor changes

• Remove dependence on rgeos and rgdal.

• This package now requires R >= 3.5.0 because serialized objects in
  serialize/load version 3 cannot be read in older versions of R.
  File(s) containing such objects:
  'glatos/inst/testdata/flynn_island_transition.rds'
  'glatos/inst/testdata/higgins_lake_transition.rds'
  'glatos/inst/testdata/test-detect_transmissions-dtc_spout.rds'
  'glatos/inst/testdata/test-transmit_along_path-tr_dfin_spout.rds'

• Deprecate make_transition and make_transition2; suggest make_transition3
  instead.

• Deprecate data object greatLakesPoly; suggest great_lakes_polygon
  instead.

• prepare_deploy_sheet:

  • Set 'skip = header_line - 1' and 'col_names = TRUE' to retain first
    record and column names (read_excel ignores column names, unless set,
    when skip is set).
  • Fix non-working example code.

• convert_otn_to_att and convert_otn_erddap_to_att:

  • Replaced sp::CRS with sf::st_crs
  • Changed link (URL) to relevant issue from GitLab to GitHub repo.

• Remove ffmpeg functions.

  • make defunct:
    • check_dependencies
    • install_ffmpeg
    • make_video_ffmpeg

• Fix issues with several tests caused by changes to CRS/WKT and row.names
  attributes.
