• replaced deprecated method sp:::overlay by sp:::%over% (issue reported by Edzer Pebesma)

Changes in version 0.3-3 (2013-01-30)

Changes in version 0.3-0 (2012-03-27)

• upgraded to ggplot2 0.9.0

• upgraded to sp 0.9-97

• added stratify method for instances of class SpatialGrid (due to recent changes in package sp)

• dependency on package rgdal has been reduced. spcosa now only requires package rgdal in case projection attributes have been set. spcosa will therefore also run on systems without 'gdal'.

• packages like sp and rgdal need to be loaded explicitly. In previous versions of spcosa these packages were automatically loaded.

• documentation and vignette have been updated

• minor changes to the code to pass all checks (without warnings) in R 2.15.0

• added a line (at start-up and in the package-file) that a recent version of Java is required in order to run spcosa.

• added more contrast to spatial strata plots

Changes in version 0.1-4 (2009-06-29)

• minor bug fixed in method 'getArea'. In previous versions of spcosa, the area was returned in units of grid cells i.s.o. map units. Since spcosa relies on relative areas, this bug did _not_ affect other methods in the package.

• visualization of class hierarchies in the package vignette by means of the new 'classesToAM' function

• minor update of documentation (Rd files)

• warnings due to coercion to class "SpatialPixelsDataFrame" have been suppressed.

• dependency has been increased from R (>= 2.8.0) to R (>= 2.9.0). Otherwise ggplot2-functions might fail.
