v1.0.1.9001

fixes #215

v1.01

• no longer attach the simulation environment (#212)
• improve documentation
• bug fixes

v1.0.0

• no longer rely on side effects to update objects in global environment; instead uses simulation environments (#185) (not backwards compatible!)
• sample modules rewritten to use simulation enviroments (#185) (not backwards compatible!).
• redefined simList class:
  • new superclass .simList contains all previous simList slots except .envir
  • class simList extends .simList by adding slot .envir
  • new class simList_ extends .simList by adding slot .list
  • simList_ can be used internally to save a simList object,
    because saving lists of objects to file is more reliable that saving environments.
• fastshp can be installed from Rforge as a CRAN-like repository (instead of relying on devtools::install_github)
• software requirements changed: depends R (>=3.2.0)
• moved data.table, grid, raster, and sp from Depends to Imports (#207).
• add archivist, ff, ffbase to Imports; add lubridate to Imports (with #151)
• removed magrittr from Imports (%>% is now exported by igraph)
• most external methods/classes imported using importFrom; except methods, graphics, igraph, and utils (because of methods/classes which are not exported) (#201)
• simulations now use timeunit (instead of timestep) specified in metadata (#151)
• defineModule requires timeunit to be a character string instead of numeric (with #151)
• simulation checkpointing fixed (#191, #130)
• ls and ls.str can now be used with simList objects to list objects in the simulation environment
• objs returns a list containing all the objects in the simulation enviroment
• new function splitRaster to divide RasterLayer into several tiles
• new function normPath (extracted from checkPath) to more strictly normalize filepaths without checking that they exist.
• new function classFilter to filter list of objects by their type
• new function packages to get all packages required by a simulation
• new function rndstr to generate random strings
• new function append_attr to append list items and keep their attributes
• improved loadPackages
• improved .objectNames
• defineParameter now accepts min, max, and description values (#172; #175)
• defineModule better handles NA values (#138)
• various Plot improvements.
• new plotting funcions to produce overview diagrams of simulations (#181; #184):
  • eventDiagram shows Gantt chart of event sequences
  • moduleDiagram shows igraph network diagram of dependencies
  • objectDiagram shows sequence diagram of object dependencies between modules
• improved simList show and debug methods (#57; #73)
• improvements to loadFiles:
  • use data.table
  • allow package::function notation in load (#174)
  • bug fixes
• added "metamodules" which specify module groups (#176)
• improved test coverage (see #139)
• all functions imported explicity (@importFrom). 3 entire packages imported: methods, graphics, igraph (because of classes which are not exported from igraph) (#201)
• removed package dependencies on raster, sp, data.table, grid. Use importFrom instead (#207).
• improved documentation and vignettes
• added cache mechanism to hash function calls to spades (#206)
• fixed progress bar bug (#147)
• prepend copyright info to LICENSE and README (with #140)
• various other bug fixes

v0.6.2

This is a minor release update to satisfy CRAN submission requirements.

• bug fix when saving files

v0.6.1

Known issues: https://github.com/PredictiveEcology/SpaDES/issues

• added the Queen as copyright holder (#140)

• explicitly use GPL-3 (previously used GPL) (#140)

• modules now require metadata; module code without it will break!

  • new module dependency checking and metadata structure (#126)
  • explicit declaration of parameters, and object (data) dependencies
  • deprecated use of reloadModuleLater

• new module directory structure (#125):

  moduleName/
  |_ moduleName.R    # the actual module code file, incl. module metadata
  |_ moduleName.Rmd  # longform documentation and usage info, etc.
  |_ citation.bib    # properly formatted bibtex citation for the module
  |_ LICENSE         # license file describing the allowed usage etc. of the module
  |_ README          # incl. module metadata in addition to version change info, etc.
  

• updated package dependencies:

  • added downloader, dplyr, fpCompare, httr, magrittr, stringr to Imports

• updated vignettes and documentation improvements

• transfered project to PredictiveEcology/SpaDES from achubaty/SpaDES.

• overhaul to Plot function:

  • no longer needs *Named objects.
  • now handles SpatialPolygons objects much faster than default plot:
    • Uses package fastshp.

      • The suggested package fastshp can be installed with:

        install_github("s-u/fastshp")
        

  • numerous other Plot improvements

• deprecated all *Named functionality

  • All code will break that uses *Named objects

• new function, clearPlot can be used to clean all hidden metadata about a plot

• new function, randomPolygons, will create random raster maps (not vector maps) of polygons

• numerous bugfixes
