Release-candidate 0.2.0

[florisvdh]

Release candidate for version 0.2.0 is more or less complete. Your test results are now more than welcome as they may lead to further improvement. Bugs can be filed at https://github.com/inbo/n2khab/issues or in this pull request.

Installation

Install this dev version (0.1.2.9000) as follows:

Sys.setenv(R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS = "true") # as a precaution
remotes::install_github("inbo/[email protected]",
                        build_vignettes = TRUE,
                        upgrade = TRUE)

New features

• Updates in reference lists (Updated water dependency attributes of types #64, environmental pressures: updated explanations (pressures 1.2) #65, namelist: add names & shortnames of typegroups in scheme SURF_03.4_lentic #69):
  • types: updates of flood dependency scores and hydrological class of several types, following several expert discussions and checks
  • schemes & scheme_types: updates regarding spatial restrictions, types and typegroup memberships of MNE schemes (for defining the schemes' target populations)
  • env_pressures: updated explanations. Each pressure now has its own explanation
  • namelist: according updates
• renv framework implemented to enhance reproducibility of generating the built-in textual data sources (generate_textdata: use renv for reproducibility #72)
• read_env_pressures(): an extra column 'remarks' is now returned (environmental pressures: updated explanations (pressures 1.2) #65)
• New function read_soilmap() for reading the soilmap or processed soilmap_simple data sources (New function read_soilmap() #29; Soilmap: early exploration + creation of soilmap_simple n2khab-preprocessing#34)
• Vignette to demonstrate package & data setup, using read_soilmap() as an example target (New function read_soilmap() #29)
• read_habitatsprings() accommodates the latest version of the habitatsprings data source (read_habitatsprings(): accommodate new datasource version #62)
• read_habitatsprings() optionally aggregates points to (population) units (read_habitatsprings(): provide argument 'units_7220' #70)
• read_habitatmap_terr() now drops occurrences of type 7220 by default, given the information returned by read_habitatsprings() (read_habitatmap_terr(): add drop_7220 argument #71)

Further, a number of smaller fixes and enhancements were made.

Other plans for 0.2.0?

• Providing a temporary fix for issue Reading problems are expected with raster-dependent functions if PROJ >= 6 #67
• Perhaps make a html vignette with type memberships of (MNE?) schemes, with a dynamic table. Not considered urgent, may not make it into 0.2.0
• As always you're welcome to contribute your stuff (see contrib guidelines) or propose things in the issues.
