spcosa 0.4-2 (2023-04-11)

• removed dependence on rgdal (Roger Bivand, 2023-04-10)

• updated CITATION file to new format (Uwe Ligges, 2023-04-11)

spcosa 0.4-1 (2022-08-11)

• fixed Rd-files to prevent rendering problems in the HTML version of the documentation (Kurt Hornik & Deepayan Sarkar, 2022-08-11)

spcosa 0.4-0 (2021-12-13)

• stratifiy no longer internally reprojects maps to latlon. It is now up to the user to supply a proper map projection. If the map has EPSG:4326, then great circle distances are used. In all other cases spcosa uses Euclidean distances for stratification.

• prevented spurious errors by proj4string as suggested by the sp-package authors in their vignette (CRS_warnings).

spcosa 0.3-11 (2021-01-18)

• added PROJ (>= 6) to SystemRequirements in the DESCRIPTION file (Uwe Ligges, 2021-01-18)

• removed dependency from rgl and gstat by simplifying vignette

• added package versions to DESCRIPTION file to remove notes/warnings from CRAN

spcosa 0.3-10 (2021-01-06)

• added doi-tag to Rd-files

• corrected outdated hyper links in the manual

• changed http to https

• updated rgl code

• made suggested package rgl conditional, as suggested by Ripley (2020-12-08)

spcosa 0.3-9 (2020-01-13)

• made code compatible with coming R version 4.0.0 following directions CRAN

spcosa 0.3-8 (2018-03-30)

• changed runtime check for Java version as suggested by Ripley (2018-03-28 12:22)

spcosa 0.3-7 (2018-01-19)

• changed Java version format as suggested by Ripley (2018-01-07 10:55)

• added runtime check for Java version

spcosa 0.3-6 (2015-12-22)

• package vignette converted to R-markdown

• minor changes to make spcosa compatible with ggplot2 version 2.0.0

spcosa 0.3-5 (2013-05-02)

• modifications in version 0.3-4 only worked for 'geometry' objects (SpatialPixels etc.) and not for their Spatial*DataFrames counterparts. This issue has now been solved.

spcosa 0.3-4 (2013-04-29)

• replaced deprecated method sp:::overlay by sp:::%over% (issue reported by Edzer Pebesma)

spcosa 0.3-3 (2013-01-30)

• moved start-up message from .onLoad to .onAttach to prevent 'R CMD check' from printing a NOTE in "R Under development (unstable) (2013-01-25 r61745)"

• Some minor modifications to the package vignette

spcosa 0.3-2 (2012-12-05)

• reorganization of files to make file names portable (required by R-devel, issue reported by Brian D. Ripley, 2012-12-04 17:53)

spcosa 0.3-1 (2012-09-11)

• corrected some typos

• upgraded to ggplot2 version 0.9.2

spcosa 0.3-0 (2012-03-27)

• replaced ./NEWS by ./inst/NEWS.Rd

• stratify method with signature SpatialPolygons has gained a new argument: cellSize. Argument cellSize takes precedence over argument nGridCells.

• upgraded to ggplot2 0.9.0

• upgraded to sp 0.9-97

• added stratify method for instances of class SpatialGrid (due to recent changes in package sp)

• dependency on package rgdal has been reduced. spcosa now only requires package rgdal in case projection attributes have been set. spcosa will therefore also run on systems without 'gdal'.

• packages like sp and rgdal need to be loaded explicitly. In previous versions of spcosa these packages were automatically loaded.

• documentation and vignette have been updated

• minor changes to the code to pass all checks (without warnings) in R 2.15.0

spcosa 0.2-3 (2010-10-09)

• updated documentation

• added new demo (‘sphere2.R’)

spcosa 0.2-2 (2010-07-29)

• changed code of plot-methods to prevent 'NOTES' generated by R CMD check: "no visible binding for global variable ..."

• added doi of paper in Computer \& Geosciences to citation file

• added FAQ

spcosa 0.2-1 (2010-04-19)

• dynamic HTML added to spcosa-package.Rd

• updated references in Rd-files and CITATION file

• package vignette has been updated

spcosa 0.2-0 (2009-11-12)

• added a line (at start-up and in the package-file) that a recent version of Java is required in order to run spcosa.

• upgraded to R 2.10-0 and rJava 0.8-1. Previous releases of spcosa are not compatible with the new rJava 0.8-series

spcosa 0.1-5 (2009-09-09)

• fixed 'suspect' hyperlink issue reported by 'R CMD check' of 'R version 2.10.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-09-07 r49613)'

• added more contrast to spatial strata plots

spcosa 0.1-4 (2009-07-01)

• minor bug fixed in method 'getArea'. In previous versions of spcosa, the area was returned in units of grid cells i.s.o. map units. Since spcosa relies on relative areas, this bug did _not_ affect other methods in the package.

• visualization of class hierarchies in the package vignette by means of the new 'classesToAM' function

• minor update of documentation (Rd files)

• warnings due to coercion to class "SpatialPixelsDataFrame" have been suppressed.

• dependency has been increased from R (>= 2.8.0) to R (>= 2.9.0). Otherwise ggplot2-functions might fail.

spcosa 0.1-3 (2009-05-17)

• citation file has been updated
