ssarp 0.5.1 (2026-06-01)

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

• Updated the Create_SAR vignette to include: additional information about how to interpret segmented regression outputs, how to use presence-absence matrices to infer a SAR, and how to use custom inputs with find_areas().
• Updated the Create_SpAR vignette to include: additional information about how to interpret segmented regression outputs, a short example using estimate_bamm() to estimate speciation rates, and a short example using estimate_dr() to estimate speciation rates.
• Updated documentation for create_sar() and create_spar() to include clarification about how the user can specify for only a linear model to run.

OTHER FIXES

• Added checkmate verification for using a custom area dataframe with find_areas().
• Added information about fixing island database entries, adding methods for estimating speciation rate, and streamlining workflows to CONTRIBUTING.md.

ssarp 0.5.0 (2025-09-16)

NEW FEATURES

• The default versions of create_SAR(), create_SpAR(), estimate_BAMM(), estimate_DR(), and estimate_MS() are now all-lowercase (create_sar(), create_spar(), estimate_bamm(), estimate_dr(), and estimate_ms()). The original spellings have been added as aliases to the functions (both spellings may be used).

ssarp 0.4.1 (2025-09-11)

NEW FEATURES

• Added a new vignette discussing spatial autocorrelation and how to test for it within the ssarp pipeline

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

• Code and text in the README has been clarified, including fixing an error in the example code related to using find_land()
• All references to the depricated find_land() function have been removed from documentation
• Added better descriptions of the outputs for create_SAR() and create_SpAR()

OTHER FIXES

• New testthat test cases for find_areas() and find_land()

ssarp 0.4.0 (2025-07-19)

NEW FEATURES

• Package name is now ssarp instead of SSARP
• Added the ssarp::get_richness() function, which creates a standard species richness dataframe
• The ssarp::get_data() and ssarp::get_key() functions have been replaced by a helpful vignette describing how to access occurrence records using rgbif.
• Messages across the package can be silenced using options(ssarp.silent = TRUE) now
• A new example file for testing ssarp::estimate_BAMM has been added (inst/extdata/event_data_Patton_Anolis.txt)

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

• All examples run instead of remaining in a \dontrun block
• More information about using the metadata from plots created with ssarp::create_SAR() and ssarp::create_SpAR() has been added to their documentation
• More information about the speciation rate estimation methods in ssarp have been added to the ssarp::create_SpAR() documentation

OTHER FIXES

• New testthat test cases to ensure that calculations are done correctly across the package
• Column names have been standardized across the package
• Plot printing is now off by default in ssarp::create_SAR() and ssarp::create_SpAR()

DEPRECATED FUNCTIONS

• get_data()
• get_key()
• quick_create_SAR()

SSARP 0.3.0 (2025-07-04)

NEW FEATURES

• Changed the names of all functions to “verb_object” structure
• Two new example files were added to the package: Patton_Anolis_Trimmed.tree and SSARP_Example_Dat.csv to allow users to run examples involving a phylogenetic tree of Anolis and GBIF data for Anolis, respectively
• Added “get_presence_absence” function, which creates a presence-absence matrix when given a dataframe output by SSARP::find_areas()

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

• Function names are now in pkg::function() notation throughout the documentation
• Vignettes have been updated to reflect the new function names and example files
• The majority of examples will now run, instead of remaining in a \dontrun block as in 0.2.0

OTHER FIXES

• @import and @importFrom statements were removed in favor of pkg::function() statements across the package

SSARP 0.2.0 (2025-04-29)
