Changes in version 2.0.13 (2025-06-09)                 

  - Fixed bad parts in URL field of DESCRIPTION file for CRAN

                 Changes in version 2.0.12 (2023-10-09)                 

  - Fixed the updating of extent when using crop_cs

                       Changes in version 2.0.11                        

  - modified create_distance_cs to use calculated run distance when
    assigning distance between cells
  - added check_locations argument to create_accum_cost

                       Changes in version 2.0.10                        

  - create_lcp now only creates cost column if cost_distance argument is
    TRUE

                        Changes in version 2.0.9                        

  - removed percentile argument in create_slope_cs and replaced with
    their own cost_function, e.g. "campbell 2019 50"
  - Modified how extent is retrieved from a terra SpatRaster. This is
    now done using terra::ext()
  - calculate_distance uses Pythagorean theorem when coordinate system
    is projected and sf::st_distance when geographic
  - removed plot_cf()

                        Changes in version 2.0.8                        

  - create_accum_cost now allows for one or more supplied origins.
    Multiple accumulated cost surfaces will be summarised using a
    supplied function
  - exported calculate_distance, get_coordinates, and neighbourhood
    functions
  - Modified check_locations to stop if any locations are outside extent
    or not traversable. check_locations also added to functions that are
    suppplied locations, e.g. create_lcp
  - modified create_distance_cs to return conductanceMatrix values that
    correspond to the supplied spatRaster resolution
  - Added vignette
  - leastcostpath now allows for both projected and geographic
    coordinate systems

                        Changes in version 2.0.7                        

  - Fixed error when using terra spatVector objects in create_FETE_lcps
    and create_lcps
  - create_accum_cost and create_lcp_density can now take terra
    spatVector objects
  - Removed add_local_stochasticity, calculate_rmse and
    calculate_slope_variance. These will be amended and re-added at a
    later date
  - Modified create_FETE_lcps to leverage that igraph shortest.paths
    function is vectorised. This function is now quicker.

                        Changes in version 2.0.6                        

  - Modified cost functions "herzog" and "llobera-sluckin" to now be
    ansitropic, i.e. cost uphill is different to cost downhill
  - "Minetti" continues to be isotropic given that downhill slope
    gradient values are given negative cost values

                        Changes in version 2.0.5                        

  - create_lcp now allows for multiple destinations. If supplied
    least-cost paths will be calculated from a single origin to all
    destinations
  - origin, destination, and locations arguments now accepts sf POINT
    and MULTIPOINT, terra spatVector, data.frame and matrix objects
  - Fixed max_slope argument to 30 degrees within create_slope_cs when
    using 'campbell 2019' and 'campbell' cost functions
  - Added vignette

                        Changes in version 2.0.4                        

  - Modified add_dem_error to now allow for different methods. See
    function details for more information
  - Added crop_cs() function to allow conductanceMatrix to be cropped
    based on extent of supplied object

                        Changes in version 2.0.3                        

  - modified calculation of run in cost surface calculations to use base
    R rather than terra::distance. This now allows for the use of DEMs
    with more cells without causing memory issues

                        Changes in version 2.0.2                        

  - Ensured that Matrix::summary is made explicit rather than rely on
    using summary from Matrix package.

                        Changes in version 2.0.1                        

  - renamed add_stochasticity to add_global_stochasticity
  - added add_local_stochasticity
  - added add_global_stochasticity
  - added calculate_slope_variance
  - added calculate_rmse

                        Changes in version 2.0.0                        

  - From version 2.0.0 onwards the R package leastcostpath is no longer
    reliant on the R package gdistance. leastcostpath has been updated
    to work with sf and terra objects
  - create_slope_cs now returns a class conductanceMatrix object. This
    object contains a record of:

  - the ConductanceMatrix
  - the cost function argument
  - the max slope argument
  - whether the slope values were exaggerated
  - the critical slope argument
  - the percentile argument
  - the number of adjacent neighbours used in the calculation

  - the cost function argument in create_slope_cs() now allows for cost
    functions to be stated by name (e.g. 'tobler') or as a function
  - update_values() now added
  - replace_values() now added
  - create_cs() now added
  - plot_cf() now added
  - rasterise() now added
