Changelog

fireexposuR 1.2.0 (September 29th, 2025)

CRAN release: 2025-10-01

Improvement of documentation and vignettes
use of fire_exp_adjust() has been deprecated. The functionality has been added to fire_exp() instead.
fire_exp() now takes a numeric value for the transmission distance (t_dist).
- parameter tdist will still work, but return a message to update code
use of fire_exp_map_cont() and fire_exp_map_class() have been deprecated. The functionality of these has been merged into a new function: fire_exp_map()
split fire_exp_extract_vis() into two separate functions: fire_exp_extract_summary(), fire_exp_dir_map() to be consistent with other function naming and expected outputs in the package
split fire_exp_dir_multi() into two separate functions: fire_exp_dir_multi() and fire_exp_dir_multi_plot() to be consistent with other function naming and expected outputs in the package
example data is now for a real location, allowing for more interpretation of results in the vignettes
maps are now built with tmap library to improve basemaps and components

CRAN release: 2025-05-27

added parameter customization options to fire_exp_dir():
- customize transect lengths with t_lengths parameter
- customize number of transects with interval parameter
- customize high exposure threshold with thresh_exp parameter
- customize viable pathway threshold with thresh_viable parameter
added option to use custom classification breaks to fire_exp_summary(), fire_exp_map_class(), fire_exp_extract_vis(), fire_exp_validate()
- all functions that use classes now automatically add a ‘Nil’ class for values that are exactly 0
split fire_exp_dir_vis() into two separate functions: fire_exp_dir_plot(), fire_exp_dir_map()
removed plotting option from fire_exp_validate()
added new function fire_exp_validate_plot() to visualize results from fire_exp_validate()
added options to add custom titles to functions that return plots or maps
significant updates and additions to the documentation

fixes for issues that came up during initial tests using different data
fixes for many other things that came up as I learned about R package development
