• Bugfixes
  • Bug in spatialze_lsm() with directions argument

• Improvements
  • Simplify roxygen2 docs
• Bugfixes
  • Bugfix in calculate of clumpy if NA values are present
  • Bugfix in construct_buffer that CRS was lost

• Improvements
  • Many performance improvements. Most visible are in calculate_lsm (all metrics: more than 5 times faster with 70% less memory allocation for augusta_nlcd; larger increases were found for smaller data) and window_lsm (a single metric: more than 6 times faster for augusta_nlcd; larger increases were found for smaller data)
  • Some performance improvements are related to the new "extras" mechanism, in which several objects are precalculated in calculate_lsm
  • Creates an internal extras_df object that lists which extras are needed by each metric
  • Replaces the use of tibble::tibble() with tibble::new_tibble(list()) in most functions. This change is partially responsible for improvements of the window_lsm speed
  • Replaces raster_to_points with get_points in several places. The get_points function is based on the column and row numbers multiplied by the resolution, not actual coordinates.
  • Replaces table with (faster) tabulate in lsm_p_core
• New functions
  • Adds a few internal helper functions and documents them, including prepare_extras, get_area_patches, get_class_patches, get_complexity, get_enn_patch, get_points, and get_perimeter_patch
• Bugfixes
  • Fixes window_lsm behaviour for situations with NAs values and non-square windows
• Various
  • Fixes several typos and improves documentation in many places
  • Uses object references in most rcpp functions

• Improvements
  • terra and sf instead of raster and sp as underlying frameworks
  • Adjust all show_* functions to avoid ggplot2 warning
  • Update color palette of show_correlation
• New functions
  • points_as_mat() helper function
• Bugfixes
  • There was a bug introduced previously in the calculation of SHEI
  • extract_lsm returned an no-needed warning message
  • Minor bug in shape index fixed
  • Minor bug in clumpy index fixed
• Various
  • Updated FRAGSTATS reference (thanks to Oto Kaláb @kalab-oto)
  • Update FRAGSTATS tests

• Improvements
