Changes in version 0.4.2.9000                      

                 Changes in version 0.4.2 (2026-03-22)                  

  - Add support for QGIS 4.0 (#229).

                 Changes in version 0.4.1 (2024-10-06)                  

Fix for non-UTF-8 locales

  - Don't set encoding = "UTF-8" in some processx::run() calls that used
    that setting. This adds support for {qgisprocess} in non-UTF-8
    locales (#219).

                 Changes in version 0.4.0 (2024-07-07)                  

Enhancements

  - Speed up various calls to the qgis_process backend by automatically
    implementing --skip-loading-plugins where possible (#201). This
    benefits package startup time and the timing of
    qgis_run_algorithm(), qgis_show_help(), and several other functions.
    This feature needs QGIS >= 3.36.
  - Add new vignettes (#213):
      - vignette("qgis_arguments"): passing R objects as algorithm
        arguments.
      - vignette("options"): configuration with options or environment
        variables.

Minor changes

  - Don't renew the package cache when no plugins were successfully
    enabled or disabled (#212).
  - Update the 'getting started' vignette (#206, #207):
      - advise to use qgis_search_algorithms().
      - in QGIS >= 3.36 the GRASS GIS provider is called grass instead
        of grass7.

                 Changes in version 0.3.0 (2024-02-06)                  

Enhancements

  - QGIS or third-party providers can expose deprecated algorithms that
    may be removed from future versions. {qgisprocess} now handles these
    algorithms explicitly (#198):
      - qgis_run_algorithm() and other functions (such as
        qgis_show_help() and qgis_get_description()) will warn if a
        deprecated algorithm is passed (issues #193, #194).
      - qgis_search_algorithms() now excludes deprecated algorithms by
        default; they can still be included by setting the
        include_deprecated argument to TRUE.
      - qgis_algorithms() can optionally restrict its results to
        non-deprecated algorithms (set the include_deprecated argument
        to FALSE). By default they are included, just as before.
  - More consistent and intuitive handling of JSON input / output user
    settings (#195, #196; see ?qgis_using_json_output).

Fixes

  - Fix bug in support for environment variable
    R_QGISPROCESS_DETECT_NEWER_QGIS (#197).
  - Fix unit test to comply with {terra} > 1.7-65 (#202).

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2023-12-21)                  

New features

  - Add vector support for {terra} (#184). This makes it possible to use
    SpatVector or SpatVectorProxy objects as input arguments, and to
    coerce processing results to SpatVector or SpatVectorProxy.
  - qgis_detect_windows_paths() and qgis_detect_macos_paths() put paths
    at the top that contain a QGIS version string and these paths are
    sorted according to decreasing QGIS version (#189). This lets
    qgis_configure() select the newest QGIS version among qgis_process
    file paths that have a version string. Furthermore, a wrapper
    qgis_detect_paths() has been added that works on both Windows and
    macOS (#192).

Minor changes

  - Allow half-configured states with abundant messages, so that
    remaining functionality can be used in debugging or even for some
    real stuff (#177).
  - qgis_run_algorithm() documentation gains a section on QGIS models
    and scripts (8a20669).
  - An option qgisprocess.detect_newer_qgis is available (mirrored by
    environment variable R_QGISPROCESS_DETECT_NEWER_QGIS) for Windows
    and macOS (#192). If set as TRUE, during package loading
    {qgisprocess} will check whether a more recent (standalone) QGIS
    version is also installed while the package cache still dictates to
    use an older version. In this specific scenario a question will be
    asked to switch to the newer version. Without setting this option
    default behaviour remains in place, i.e. the user must manually
    intervene either by running qgis_configure(), by setting the
    qgisprocess.path option, or by uninstalling the older QGIS version.
  - Solve a CRAN check error on r-oldrel-macos-x86_64, by adding support
    for {stars} 0.5-5 (#175).

                 Changes in version 0.1.0 (2023-08-17)                  

  - Initial CRAN release.
  - While the package incubated as a development version for a few
    years, quite a few namespace changes have been made more recently
    (#153). Old function names still work but these are deprecated. They
    will be dropped at a later stage.
