Changes in version 3.0.2 (2026-09-09)                  

  - output_dir is now a required argument of
    import_sample_concentric_format1_raw_to_pre(),
    import_sample_concentric_format2_raw_to_pre() and
    import_standwise_relascope_format1_raw_to_pre(). It used to default
    to input_path, so the preprocessed files were written into the
    folder the raw data came from -- a directory the caller never named,
    and one that may well be read-only. A call without the argument now
    stops before anything is read, with a message saying what to pass.
    The argument keeps its position, so positional calls are unaffected.

  - A coordinate-system declaration that spells one and the same system
    in more than one way is no longer mistaken for two. Point files
    carrying both 4326 and EPSG:4326 do occur; they were refused as
    ambiguous and asked for a coord_sys argument the file did not need.
    Declarations are now resolved before they are compared. Two
    genuinely different systems, and values that cannot be read at all,
    are still refused.

  - The ex1 example data carried the angle and the distance the wrong
    way round on plot 5, which put six trees between 92 and 326 m from
    their plot centre. Corrected in data_ex1_sample_raw_trees and in the
    matching file under inst/extdata. Only the tree positions change;
    every value the converter derives from these data is unchanged.

  - The examples of the PDF output functions run again. They had been
    hidden behind \dontrun{}, where nothing executes them and nothing
    notices when they decay: one called an object that was never
    defined, another carried a literal ... where a call belonged, and
    several ended in a viewer command that only works on macOS. They are
    under \donttest{} now, write to tempdir(), and are executed by
    example().

  - Several examples were computing the same thing repeatedly. One help
    page ran the same increment five times over, another ran a full
    increment chain on what is a page about data. They show what they
    are about, and no more.

  - pull_trees() documents what it returns: the class, what a row is,
    and the two columns it adds rather than carries over from the
    inventory plots.

  - The Description field cites Kangas and Maltamo (2006), a standard
    work on forest inventory methods.

                        Changes in version 3.0.1                        

  - The checks of version 3.0.0 took longer than is welcome on the CRAN
    check farm. Tests and examples now do far less repeated work, and
    the check time is down by about a third.

  - fill_heights_back() no longer spreads small inventories over a
    cluster. Every worker receives a copy of the whole inventory, and
    below a few hundred plots that transfer costs far more than the work
    itself -- on a ten-plot inventory the sequential run is thirty times
    faster. Inventories large enough to benefit are unaffected.

  - The two interim stages of the repeated-survey increment are shipped
    as data: data_ex3_increment_matched and data_ex3_increment_fills.
    Examples of the later steps start from them instead of rebuilding
    the chain that leads up to them, which also puts the subject of each
    example on its first line. See ?data_ex3_increment_interim.

  - The table examples start from data_ex3_sample_trees_essentials and
    therefore group species the BaySF way, as the increment
    documentation does throughout.

                        Changes in version 3.0.0                        

  - Initial CRAN submission.
