o RFmerge now has a webpage (https://hzambran.github.io/RFmerge/), created by pkgdown.
o CITATION file: Updated style The DOI was changed form the one given by Zotero to the new DOI that will be given by CRAN (10.32614/CRAN.package.RFmerge).
o The 'parallel' option is working now (based ont he 'terra' package), thank to the asssistance of Codex (ChatGPT).
o Several small enhancements and quality control changes.Changes in version 0.2-0 26-Jul-2023 (not public)
Major changes:
o The package was completely checked and modified when deemed appropiate in order **to make it work with the 'terra' pacakge instead of the superseeded 'raster' package**. This was motivated by a tehnical course OScr Baez-Villanueva an I gave to SISSA in Buenos Aires (Argentina). However, the parallel option did not work due to problems with the use of SpatRast and SpatVec objects in the terra package. For this reason, this version remained only on Github, without being submitted to CRAN. Changes in version 0.1-9 12-May-2020
Major changes:
o Updated version after CRAN reported an error in the vignette ("Invalid argument: 'cov' and 'mask' have different CRS !!"). this error was previously undetected because the package was tested with R-devel in combination with GEOS 3.5.1, GDAL 2.2.2, PROJ 4.9.2, while CRAN uses GEOS 3.8.1, GDAL 3.0.4, PROJ 7.0.0.Changes in version 0.1-7 27-Apr-2020 (not public)
Major changes:
o 'rfmerge': sf::st_crs(x])[["epsg"]] was changed to 'sf::st_crs(x)$proj4string' for identifying the projection of a vectorial or raster object. This was due to a report from Edzer Pebema mentioning that the old call used a legacy 'crc' structure, which was changed in the new verison of the 'sf' package.
Changes in version 0.1-3 20-Dec-2019
Major changes:
o 'RFmerge.R': new argument 'write2disk' to allow the user to choose whether the output merged layers should be written to disk or not. Default value is 'FALSE'.
o 'RFmerge.R': 'installed.packages()' was replaced by 'find.package', for increasing efficiency to find out if a named package is installed or not.
o Examples are now run within a 'donttest{}' piece of code instead of a '\dontrun{}' one.
o A maximum of two cores is used in all examples, even if the number of cores available is much larger than that (required by CRAN)
o RFmerge.Rd: '\value' tag was added, explaining the returning object of the function.
o Hengl et al. (2018) was added as a reference.
