birdscanR 0.3.0

• Added functionality: The function ‘computeDensity()’ was added to calculate the density (expressed as #objects / km3). Note that this function only works for Birdscan MR1 database versions >= 1.7.0.4 as the variable feature37.speed is required for the density calculation (#40).
• Added functionality: The function ‘getBatClassification()’ was added to get the data from the MR1 SQL tables ‘bat_classification’ and ‘bat_class_probability’. The function ‘extractDbData()’ was updated to also extract the bat classification results using the prior function (#36).
• Added functionality: The function ‘reclassToBats()’ was added to change the class of the echoes to ‘bat’ for those having a classification probability higher than a specified threshold (#36).
• Added functionality: The ‘feature37.speed’ from the new Birdscan software v 1.7 is now also being extracted when calling the function ‘getCollectionTable()’ (#39).
• Bug fix: Conditional ‘if (exists(“mtrDayNight”, envir = environment()))’ caused bug in ‘computeMTR()’ function when variable was already defined in a user script (i.e., outside of the package). This has been fixed (#38).

birdscanR 0.2.0

• Added functionality: Add sample classification into crepuscularMorning, day, crepuscularNight, and night when extracting data.
• Added functionality: Enable mtr calculation for day, crepuscule, and night instead of merely day/night only (both options available now).
  
• Bug fixes: Small bug fixes in the two plotting functions.
• Bug fix: sunrisesunset information was being deleted for locations at higher latitudes because of the lack of the sunrising or setting. This has been fixed.
• Dependency fix: maptools package is retiring; Moved to suntools package which has the same functionality for twilight calculations (#34).

birdscanR 0.1.1

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
