R package ibis.iSDM by iiasa — release notes from GitHub.

A raster-to-terra migration is the only readable change in a feed of merge notes.

Current state
ibis.iSDM fits integrated species distribution models in R. Its release notes are GitHub's auto-generated pull-request lists, so most tags say only which branch was merged and by whom. The one release with a written note, 0.0.5, records the migration from raster to terra across the whole package, with an explicit warning that established code may break.
Where it's heading
Direction cannot be read from this feed with any confidence - three of the four visible tags carry nothing beyond merge titles and a full-changelog link. What is visible is a 2023 spent on dependency modernisation and dev-branch merges, ending with a 0.1.1 tag that December and nothing since.
Prediction
These entries do not support a prediction; the notes would have to carry written content before a direction could be read from them.

Recent moves

  1. 2y ago

    Version 0.1.1

    An auto-generated pull-request list - a dev-branch merge and a pre-Christmas version push - with no description of what changed for users. The most recent tag on the feed, and the least informative.

    Version 0.0.7

    Four merge titles, one of them naming a bugfix around ensembles and terra's min/max. Nothing here states what a user would do differently after upgrading.

    Version 0.0.6

    A single merge line and a changelog link. Cut two weeks after the terra migration, which suggests follow-up work, though the note does not say so.

    raster replaced by terra across the package

    ⚡ SPARK

    The only entry on this feed that describes its own change. It is also the largest one visible: the spatial backend swapped wholesale, with users told to stay behind if it breaks them.
