scfmutils 2.0.9.9004

• add withr to Imports from Suggests, for use in examples;
• streamline prepInputsFireRegimePolys() for BEC;
• prepInputsFireRegimePolys() gets a new argument subsetType to retrieve entire polygons bordering studyArea or only the spatial intersection (default, preserving previous behaviour)
• add a title parameter for scfmDiagnostics plots

scfmutils 2.0.8

• .makeLandscapeAttr() properly handles cases with missing neighbours;

scfmutils 2.0.7

• calibrateFireRegimePolys() gracefully exits if polygons have no fires;

scfmutils 2.0.6

• fix attempt to use fire regime attributes when not using FRT/FRU polygons;

scfmutils 2.0.5

• add Erni et al. (2020) fire regime polygon attributes to FRT and FRU polygons;

scfmutils 2.0.4

• add withr to Suggests (used with testing);
• fix plotting to handle cases with no escaped fires;
• more robust de-slivering;

scfmutils 2.0.3

• require reproducible >= 2.1.0;
• updates for recent changes to reproducible: pass to arguments to reproducible::prepInputs() and related functions, instead of passing studyArea or rasterToMatch;
• new option scfmutils.driver.plot.scam (default TRUE) to allow user to disable creation of scam plots in calibrateFireRegimePolys();

scfmutils 2.0.2

• warn instead of error if spread model calibration fails in calibrateFireRegimePolys();
• improve documentation;

scfmutils 2.0.1

• add fpCompare to Imports, for improved floating point number comparisons;
• bump minimum versions requirements for dependency packages SpaDES.core, SpaDES.tools, and reproducible;
• fix issue with per-polygon flammable cell calculations in .makeLandscapeAttr() that was introduced by switching to sf for fire regime polygons;
• modified comparePredictions_fireDistribution() to use arguments fireRegimePoints, burnSummary, and size instead of dt;
• improve CRS checks in checkForIssues();
• documentation improvements;

scfmutils 2.0.0

• fully implement use of sf polygons object instead of lists of polygon attributes;
• bump minimum versions of Require, reproducible, SpaDES.core, SpaDES.tools;
