rasterpic 1.0.0 (2026-08-24)

• asp_ratio() now reports the supported input types when x is invalid.
• rasterpic_img() now reports clearer inclusive-range errors when halign or valign are not single numeric values.
• rasterpic_img() now reports clearer input errors for missing image files and unsupported file extensions, preserves download failure details, warns when geographic coordinates are treated as planar and emits a warning condition for images with fewer than three layers.
• rasterpic_img() now reports clearer errors when numeric bounding boxes contain missing, infinite or incorrectly ordered coordinates.
• rasterpic_img() now validates img, expand, crop, mask, inverse and crs before processing.

rasterpic 0.5.1 (2026-06-23)

• User-facing errors, warnings and notes now use cli alerts and inline markup for consistent argument, file and URL formatting.
• rasterpic_img() with mask = TRUE, inverse = TRUE or both again returns a SpatRaster with an RGB specification (terra::has.RGB() returns TRUE).

rasterpic 0.5.0 (2026-05-21)

• Package documentation was reviewed and updated with AI-assisted editing.
• rasterpic_img() is now an S3 generic with methods for supported spatial input classes (#39).
• rasterpic_img() now supports stars objects.

rasterpic 0.4.0 (2026-03-21)

• Migrated vignettes to Quarto.

rasterpic 0.3.1 (2026-01-14)

• New logo.
• The minimum required R version is now 4.1.0.
• Minor internal and documentation improvements.

rasterpic 0.3.0 (2025-03-19)

• When the output has three or more layers, the first three are renamed to "r", "g" and "b". In cases with four or more layers, the fourth layer is renamed to "alpha". This allows compatibility with tmap >= 4.0 and avoids the error ! [subset] you cannot select a layer with a name that is not unique.

rasterpic 0.2.6 (2024-12-17)

• Updated documentation.

rasterpic 0.2.5 (2024-04-12)

• Updated documentation.
• Made the Title and Description fields in DESCRIPTION more specific.

rasterpic 0.2.4 (2024-01-18)

• Ensured that SpatVector objects always have a CRS.
• If the image has fewer than three layers, the raster output does not have an RGB specification (terra::has.RGB() is FALSE). This is expected to be a corner case.
• If the image file (e.g., tiff) already has an RGB specification, it is preserved in the output.
• Updated documentation and tests.

rasterpic 0.2.3 (2023-09-08)

• Made asp_ratio() an internal function.
• Improved documentation and tests.

rasterpic 0.2.2 (2023-04-18)

• Removed unused dependencies.
• Improved documentation.
• Fixed typos in messages.
• Declared the output as an RGB raster with terra::RGB().
• Added ggplot2 to "Suggests".

rasterpic 0.2.1 (2022-06-10)

• Added tidyterra to "Suggests".

rasterpic 0.2.0 (2022-02-18)

• Added support for:
  • terra: SpatVector, SpatExtent.
  • sf: sfg, sf::st_bbox().
  • Numeric vectors c(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).
• The img parameter in rasterpic_img() now accepts image URLs.
• Added an article to the pkgdown site.
• Fixed CRAN errors.

rasterpic 0.1.0 (2022-01-27)

• Initial release.
