qgisprocess 0.4.1.9000
qgisprocess 0.4.1 (2024-10-06)
Fix for non-UTF-8 locales
- Don't set
encoding = "UTF-8"
in some processx::run()
calls that used that setting.
This adds support for {qgisprocess}
in non-UTF-8 locales (#219).
qgisprocess 0.4.0 (2024-07-07)
Enhancements
- Speed up various calls to the
qgis_process
backend by automatically implementing --skip-loading-plugins
where possible (#201).
This benefits package startup time and the timing of qgis_run_algorithm()
, qgis_show_help()
, and several other functions.
This feature needs QGIS >= 3.36.
- Add new vignettes (#213):
vignette("qgis_arguments")
: passing R objects as algorithm arguments.
vignette("options")
: configuration with options or environment variables.
Minor changes
- Don't renew the package cache when no plugins were successfully enabled or disabled (#212).
- Update the 'getting started' vignette (#206, #207):
- advise to use
qgis_search_algorithms()
.
- in QGIS >= 3.36 the GRASS GIS provider is called
grass
instead of grass7
.
qgisprocess 0.3.0 (2024-02-06)
Enhancements
- QGIS or third-party providers can expose deprecated algorithms that may be removed from future versions.
{qgisprocess}
now handles these algorithms explicitly (#198):
qgis_run_algorithm()
and other functions (such as qgis_show_help()
and qgis_get_description()
) will warn if a deprecated algorithm is passed (issues #193, #194).
qgis_search_algorithms()
now excludes deprecated algorithms by default; they can still be included by setting the include_deprecated
argument to TRUE
.
qgis_algorithms()
can optionally restrict its results to non-deprecated algorithms (set the include_deprecated
argument to FALSE
). By default they are included, just as before.
- More consistent and intuitive handling of JSON input / output user settings (#195, #196; see
?qgis_using_json_output
).
Fixes
- Fix bug in support for environment variable
R_QGISPROCESS_DETECT_NEWER_QGIS
(#197).
- Fix unit test to comply with
{terra}
> 1.7-65 (#202).
qgisprocess 0.2.0 (2023-12-21)
New features
- Add vector support for
{terra}
(#184).
This makes it possible to use SpatVector
or SpatVectorProxy
objects as input arguments, and to coerce processing results to SpatVector
or SpatVectorProxy
.
qgis_detect_windows_paths()
and qgis_detect_macos_paths()
put paths at the top that contain a QGIS version string and these paths are sorted according to decreasing QGIS version (#189).
This lets qgis_configure()
select the newest QGIS version among qgis_process
file paths that have a version string.
Furthermore, a wrapper qgis_detect_paths()
has been added that works on both Windows and macOS (#192).
Minor changes
- Allow half-configured states with abundant messages, so that remaining functionality can be used in debugging or even for some real stuff (#177).
qgis_run_algorithm()
documentation gains a section on QGIS models and scripts (8a20669).
- An option
qgisprocess.detect_newer_qgis
is available (mirrored by environment variable R_QGISPROCESS_DETECT_NEWER_QGIS
) for Windows and macOS (#192).
If set as TRUE
, during package loading {qgisprocess}
will check whether a more recent (standalone) QGIS version is also installed while the package cache still dictates to use an older version.
In this specific scenario a question will be asked to switch to the newer version.
Without setting this option default behaviour remains in place, i.e. the user must manually intervene either by running qgis_configure()
, by setting the qgisprocess.path
option, or by uninstalling the older QGIS version.
- Solve a CRAN check error on
r-oldrel-macos-x86_64
, by adding support for {stars}
0.5-5 (#175).
qgisprocess 0.1.0 (2023-08-17)
- Initial CRAN release.
- While the package incubated as a development version for a few years, quite a few namespace changes have been made more recently (#153).
Old function names still work but these are deprecated.
They will be dropped at a later stage.
