Changes in version 3.0.0 released on 20/08/2025 Changes - Four functions were deprecated: get_site_MODIS, get_site_ODS, get_ilter_*, get_network_*, get_sos_*, and produce_zenodo_record; - These were replaced by a new function get_site_EcoDataCube; - Dependency on the older raster package was removed, and terra was used instead; - Vignettes and documentation were improved; - Rarely used packages were removed to reduce the number of dependencies (e.g., purrr); - All map plots were standardized to use leaflet (requires leaflet >= 2.1.1); - Several functions were revised to make them more readable and concise (e.g., produce_network_points_map and produce_site_map); - Dependencies were analyzed across all functions, and their number was reduced accordingly. For this purpose, a summary table was created (see Google Spreadsheet packages_vs_functions) showing the overall number of packages and their usage by function; - Packages used only a few times (≤ 2) were removed, favoring base functions or functions already widely used in the package; - Installation requirements were revised by evaluating which packages should not be mandatory at install time. This was achieved by: - @seealso tags were used (e.g., @seealso[tidyr::nest()]) instead of @importFrom to indicate usage without forcing package loading; - Packages were moved from the Imports to the Suggests section in the DESCRIPTION file; - Package availability was checked dynamically with requireNamespace("", quietly = TRUE); - Direct calls were replaced with wrappers to avoid package loading, e.g., unnest_fx <- getNamespace("tidyr", "unnest") and then unnest_fx(cols = c(id)). - Cheatsheets were created to provide users with quick references to the main functionalities of the package. Changes in version 2.2.0 released on 29/11/2023 Changes - new function get_location_info, get_site_boundaries, get_sites_interactive, get_sites_within_3d_bounding_box, get_sites_within_radius, plot_agg_map, and plot_timeseries - replaced httr package with httr2 - replaced RCurl package with httr2 - removed rgeos dependancies Changes in version 2.1.2 released on 30/01/2023 Changes - xxx Changes in version 2.1.1 released on 30/01/2023 Minor changes - Fixes leaflet prob in get_site_MODIS function. Changes in version 2.1.0 released on 25/01/2023 Changes - inserted new function for acquire either Land Surface Temperature (LST) or Vegetation Index (NDVI) both cropped to an eLTER site boundary; - outputs enrichment of certain functions with unit of measurement (UOM) and labeling with semantic terms (e.g. \href{https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/}{Darwin Core} in the taxon_id_.R or \href{http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk}{NERC} in the get_sos_.R functions).
