geotargets 0.3.1 (15 May 2025)

• Throws an error if preserve_metadata = "gdalraster_sozip" in function tar_terra_rast() and if GDAL is less than 3.7. Skips testing this feature when GDAL < 3.7 also. This fixes a bug picked up by the CRAN team.
• Tests also don’t report progress bars, as mentioned by CRAN team.

geotargets 0.3.0 (16 April 2025)

• Bugfix by @brownag that fixes use of file.rename() in tar_terra_rast(..., preserve_metadata = "zip"), which does not work when the temporary directory is on a different partition. (#121, PR #122).
• Fixed examples for tar_terra_tiles(), tile_grid(), tar_terra_sds(), and tar_terra_sprc() as reported by @amart90 as part of rOpenSci review
• Added details to the documentation for tar_terra_tiles() (suggested by @amart90 as part of rOpenSci review)
• Completed ropensci review and transferred ownership to ropensci
• tar_terra_rast() gains a datatype argument and tar_stars() gains a type argument. Both default to the geotargets option "gdal.raster.data.type" (when set).
• Additional arguments ... are now passed to the target “write” method: terra::writeRaster() for tar_terra_rast(), terra::writeVector() for tar_terra_vect() and stars::write_stars() for tar_stars() (Thanks to @brownag in #137, resolves #132 and #127)
• Added tar_terra_vrt() for SpatRaster object targets that reference multiple data sources (e.g. tiles created with tar_terra_tiles()) using a GDAL Virtual Dataset (VRT) XML file (Thanks to @brownag in #138)
• The default driver for tar_terra_vect() has been changed to "GPKG" in order to preserve CRS information (#166).
• Added preserve_metadata = "gdalraster_sozip" option to use gdalraster::addFilesInZip() to write multi-file Seek-Optimized ZIP (SOZip) file targets, and /vsizip/ GDAL Virtual File System paths for reading without extraction (#167)

geotargets 0.2.0 (29 November 2024)

• Created tar_stars() and tar_stars_proxy() that create stars and stars_proxy objects, respectively.
• Created tar_terra_tiles(), a “target factory” for splitting a raster into multiple tiles with dynamic branching (#69).
• Created two helper functions for use in tar_terra_tiles(): tile_grid(), tile_n(), and tile_blocksize() (#69, #86, #87, #89).
• Created utility function set_window() mostly for internal use within tar_terra_tiles().
• Removes the iteration argument from all tar_*() functions. iteration now hard-coded as "list" since it is the only option that works (for now at least).
• Added the description argument to all tar_*() functions which is passed to tar_target().
• Suppressed the warning “[rast] skipped sub-datasets” from tar_terra_sprc(), which is misleading in this context (#92, #104).
• Requires GDAL 3.1 or greater to use “ESRI Shapefile” driver in tar_terra_vect() (#71, #97)
• geotargets now requires targets version 1.8.0 or higher
• tar_terra_rast() gains a preserve_metadata option that when set to "zip" reads/writes targets as zip archives that include aux.json “sidecar” files sometimes written by terra (#58)
• terra (>= 1.7.71), withr (>= 3.0.0), and zip are now required dependencies of geotargets (moved from Suggests to Imports)

geotargets 0.1.0 (14 May 2024)

• Created tar_terra_rast() and tar_terra_vect() for targets that create SpatRaster and SpatVector objects, respectively
• Created tar_terra_sprc() that creates a SpatRasterCollection object.
• geotargets_options_get() and geotargets_options_set() can be used to set and get options specific to geotargets.
• geotargets now requires targets version 1.7.0 or higher
• fixed a bug where resources supplied to tar_terra_*() were being ignored (#66)
