Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

surveyvoi 1.1.1

• CRAN release.
• Update configure.ac and configure files to remove bashisms.
• Update package manual entry and vignette with citation information.
• Update package manual entry with package website, issue tracker, and code repository.
• Update tests for env_div_survey_scheme() and geo_cov_survey_scheme() to prevent tests from sporadically failing due to multiple optimal solutions.

surveyvoi 1.1.0.2

• Fix bug in fit_xgb_occupancy_models() that caused an error during model fitting due to failed predictions.
• Fix package citation.

surveyvoi 1.1.0.1

• Fix bug in greedy_heuristic_algorithm() function so that it returns a solution if it is not possible to select enough planning units to meet the target for any species. Instead of throwing an error, it will now throw a warning and return a solution containing the cheapest set of planning units within the budget and locked out constraints. Note that this solution will have an objective value of zero, because it has zero probability of meeting any of the species’ targets.

surveyvoi 1.1.0.0

• New greedy_heuristic_algorithm() function that can be used to generate reserve selection prioritizations. This function provides access to the internal algorithm used for the reserve selection component of the value of information calculations.
• Update internal greedy reserve selection algorithm to find better quality prioritizations. This impacts approx_near_optimal_survey_scheme(), approx_optimal_survey_scheme(), optimal_survey_scheme(), approx_evdsi(), evdsi(), and evdci().
• Update sim_sites and sim_features example datasets.
• Fix bug in approx_near_optimal_survey_scheme(), approx_optimal_survey_scheme(), optimal_survey_scheme(), approx_evdsi(), evdsi(), and evdci() where all species were incorrectly assigned the same target as the first species during calculations.

surveyvoi 1.0.3.4

• Ensure that PSOCK and FORK clusters used for parallel processing are terminated correctly, even when processing is interrupted.

surveyvoi 1.0.3.2

• Fix compatibility issues with updated xgboost package (version 1.5.0).
• Fix parallel processing tests given updates to the testthat package (version 3.1.2).
• Fix tests for environmental and geographic survey schemes given updates to the gurobi package (version 9.5.0).

surveyvoi 1.0.3.1

• GMP dependencies on Windows systems are now handled using RWinLib (see https://github.com/rwinlib/gmp).

• Package configuration now reports compilation variables (i.e. PKG_CPPFLAGS and PKG_LIBS variables).

• The Free Software Foundation is no longer listed as a contributor and copyright holder because GMP source files are no longer distributed with the package (because GMP dependencies are obtained via RWinLib).

• Configuration variables can now (optionally) be used to specify location of GMP and MPFR dependencies for package installation (i.e. GMP_INCLUDE_DIR, GMP_LIB_DIR, MPFR_INCLUDE_DIR and MPFR_LIB_DIR). Although the package configuration routine attempts to deduce these variables automatically, the variables can be used if installation with default settings fails. For example, the variables can be set using the following system command:

  R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='GMP_INCLUDE_DIR=... GMP_LIB_DIR=... MPFR_INCLUDE_DIR=... MPFR_LIB_DIR=...'
