version 1.0.9

CITATION

• A CITATION file was added to facilitate citing this package.

README

• Slight textual modifications were made and the section “How to cite this work” was added.
• Set up an README.Rmd which is new rendered into the README.md file.
• Added an R-CMD-check, a CRAN and an codecov badge.

tests

• Changes to the URL of CHELSA version 2 necessitated this patch. Replacing the expired URLs within the automated tests with the latest fixed this problem.

vignettes

• The expired CHELSA URLs were replaced in the examples explained in the vignettes.
• The text of the whole vignettes was revised to make things more clear and easier to read.
• A bug in one of the examples was fixed.

Minor corrections

• An updated URL for how to register a Google API key was inserted into the warning message of the ‘plot_distr’ function.
• The expired CHELSA URLs were replaced in the examples (all labeled with ‘donttest{}’).
• Corrected formatting issues and typos in the NEWS.md file.

version 1.0.8

Description file improvement

• Corrected a reference and added DOI.
• Replaced the “WGS 84” abbreviation with “World Geodetic System 1984”.

Examples

• Replaced ‘dontrun{}’ with ‘donttest{}’, where necessary.
• Added ‘donttest{}’ if data is downloaded or the execution time is to long.
• Removed unnecessary comments like: “Additional examples that are not executed because they take too long to run”.

README

• Updated the installation guideline in the README.md.

Minor corrections

• Corrected some typos.

version 1.0.7

Minor improvements

• Added DOI to a reference in the vignettes file.
• Replaced CRANE package links with a canonical form.
• Corrected a typo.
• Shortened three examples.

version 1.0.6

Bug fixes

• I fixed three errors that only appeared under Linux systems: the examples testing, the tests, and the ElevDistr.md built failed. All three errors were caused by a GDAL error, changing the option from ‘terra::rast’ solved the problem. This option pastes “/vsicurl/” before the URL and properly enables the GDAL virtual file system.

#Example old function call
gst <- terra::rast(gstURL)

#Example new function call
gst <- terra::rast(gstURL, vsi = TRUE)

version 1.0.5

Prepare CRANE upload
