v2.1.0

reproducible 2.1.0

New

• new family of functions that are called inside postProcessTo that use sf::gdal_utils directly. These are still experimental and will only be activated with options("reproducible.gdalwarp" = TRUE)
• default for gdalMask has changed default for "touches". Now has equivalent for terra::mask(..., touches = TRUE), using "-wo CUTLINE_ALL_TOUCHED=TRUE"
• gdalProject now uses 2 threads, setting "-wo NUM_THREADS=2"; can be changed by user with options("reproducible.gdalwarpThreads" = X); see ?reproducibleOptions
• gdal* functions now address datatype issues
• gdal* defaults to FLT8S if datatype not passed
• makeRelative, makeAbsolute and similar have been created to ease many issues encountered in preProcess

Changes

• showSimilar (e.g., options(reproducible.showSimilar = 1)) now preferentially shows the most recent item in cache if there are several with equivalent matching.
• overhaul of messaging in Cache and prepInputs families; functions are highlighted with a different colour; indent level reflects nesting of both Cache and prepInputs, so it is easier to identify which message goes with which function call.
• preProcess is a lot faster now for large numbers of files; uses CHECKSUMS more effectively and fewer times
• retry now captures its expr so it doesn't need a quote; is like try now.
• showSimilar mechanisms now returns the most recent, if there are >1 similar that are equivalently similar
• if a user is having troubles with googledrive for e.g., large files on spotting connections, instructions for using gdown are provided
• showCache, clearCache now have extra arguments fun, cacheId, and ... now can take any arbitrary tag = value pair. The cacheId argument will be very fast if a user is not using useDBI() is FALSE.
• .wrap and .unwrap can now deal with SpatVectorCollection (a terra class that does not have a wrap/unwrap method in terra)
• ALTREP digesting when using spooky or fastdigest were not stable for integers and factors. There is now a work around in .robustDigest that stabilizes these by expanding them from their ALTREP representation first. Since they will be saved and recovered anyway, this will have little effect.
• .wrap and .unwrap are becoming more mature and can handle many more classes effectively. Methods can still be written, if needed.

Testing

• lots of testing with cacheSaveFormat = "qs", which previously was not reliable especially for environments. With all recent changes to .wrap and .unwrap, these appear stable now and should be able to be used for environments.

Bugfixes

• switchDataType can now correctly switch between gdal formats and terra
• many messaging fixes that were imprecise or missing
