Changes in version 1.2.1 (2026-01-16)                  

  - minor change due to change in dplyr

                 Changes in version 1.2.0 (2024-06-27)                  

  - Change dynamic least cost paths (DLCP) to iterative least cost paths
    (ILCP) throughout
  - Change default roadMethod to "ilcp" in projectRoads
  - Add ability to use a custom weightFunction and add a weightFunction
    gradePenaltyFn that determines the grade between two cells
  - Add a vignette and a demo data set dem_example to show how
    gradePenaltyFn can be used.
  - Change argument name from cost to weightRaster since it no longer
    represents a cost surface and can now be inputs to the
    weightFunction. Also change roadsInCost to roadsInWeight.
  - returned roads are no longer unioned together.
  - Deprecate getDistFromSource and use terra::distance instead.
  - Fix bug in getLandingsFromTarget and change so that patches are used
    for 0,1 rasters and ids are used otherwise using terra::as.polygons
    to make it faster.

                 Changes in version 1.1.1 (2023-06-24)                  

  - Fix an issue where updates to terra were causing roads to break
  - In the process removed raster and sp from dependencies and converted
    example data to terra and sf formats. This requires a new function
    prepExData to unwrap the terra objects that needed to be wrapped for
    storage

                 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2023-02-02)                  

  - converted to using terra throughout the package. raster objects are
    still accepted but will be converted to terra formats.
  - Added getDistFromSource function to use moving windows to quickly
    get a raster of the distance from the nearest source (e.g road).
  - remove SpaDES.tools dependency because it was archived on CRAN and
    there is an equivalent method in terra now.
  - The returned cost raster now includes the projected roads as having
    a cost of 0. This makes it easier to loop additional road building
    over time but is a change from the previous version where the input
    cost surface was returned.

                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2022-06-22)                  

  - Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
