resources based on WorldClim now support selecting the spatial resolution and cover the historical timeseries starting from 1960 (#302)
assets are now chunked into sub-components prior to indicator calculation thus parallelization now is applied to a single level (#322)
chunk_size now is properly set to 100,000 ha as per
documentation (before it was set to 10,000 ha) (#324)
setting chunk_size=NULL is now allowed and skips

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).
Speed improvements for GFW indicators (up to x10 for larger
rasters) now require R package exactextractr to be
installed. Also, it is advised to have the R package
landscapemetrics installed to gain the full computation
speed improvement.
calc_indicators() checks for 0-length tibbles (#196,
#199, #215)..read_raster_source() now uses a simplified logic to
cover all cases (e.g. single tiles, tiled rasters with and without
temporal dimension, single temporal rasters) (#211).snap="out" by default
(#212)..read_raster_source() now projects assets in case their
CRS differs from the portfolio (#213).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).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
added a new vignette for the web-version for a custom analysis of the NASA FIRMS resource in the example section
added the data for years 2017-2020 to the Global Mangrove Watch resource
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
esalandcover indicator now returns the value per each
land cover class exactly once (#177)disabled running examples on CRAN
disabled tests for get_* functions on CRAN
terra engines now use get() to resolve
the requested zonal statistic function
applying tidyverse coding style to existing code (#156, @karpfen)
extensive re-factoring of vector-raster zonal statistic engines (#150)
extensive re-writing of testing infrastructure for indicator functions omitting 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
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 since November 2022. The
get_resources() function now includes an error and
instructions how to disable SSL certification at a users own risk. The
websites maintainers have been contacted and asked to renew the
certification. (#131)
GFW resources are now updated to use the latest version allowing analysis for the additional year of 2021 (#123, @fBedecarrats)
GFW indicators now accept numeric min_size argument
allowing to specify fractional covers (#110)
fire indicators now allow the simultaneous calculation of indicators based on MODIS and VIIRS. Before users had to chose between one of the instruments for each analysis (#126)
case when one or multiple assets return NA instead of a tibble is now properly tested and handled (#101)
Rasters are no longer temporary written to disk to omit a bug caused by applying mask/classify to an already existing raster file (#108, @Jo-Schie)
Bug with soilproperties set to NA caused by the function to return a data.frame 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)
.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)
extensive renaming of resources and indicators. These are handled gracefully until the next release (i.e. a warning is issued and names are replaced):

init_portfolio() now sets the testing
attribute to FALSE by default.get_<resource>() functions now return filenames
early if testing is set to TRUE.calc_<indicator>() examples now copy files to the
R temporal directory and are wrapped in try() to avoid
errors/warnings on CRAN if an internet resource is not available.calc_tri() and
calc_elevation() are now disabled on CRAN because of the
responsiveness of CIGAR servers.NEWS.md file to track changes to the

resources or calculate indicators, init_portfolio() has to
be called again.These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
