Changes in version 0.1-3.5                       

NEW FEATURES

    o   The new function buffer() defines a (homogeneous) buffer zone
	around a polygon.

    o   The functions ECEF2lonlat, lonlat2ECEF, lonlat2UTM, UTM2lonlat,
	fast2waytable, BlackBodySpectrum, spectrum2col, wl2col, axisMap,
	and rose have been moved from the (now defunct package) sentinel
	to tigers.

    o   redundantVertices() gains the option 'colinear = TRUE'.

    o   A data set has been included: the coordinates of the limits of
	the Anduki Forest Reserve (Brunei).

BUG FIXES

    o   polygon2mask() has a modified internal C code with larger
	buffers making it more stable.

    o   The aspect of the compas drawn by rose() has been improved. The
	new default is 'size = 0.5' (instead of 1) and its unit is now
	inch.

OTHER CHANGES

    o   In triangulate(), method = 3 and 4 have been removed.

                 Changes in version 0.1-3 (2024-01-31)                  

BUG FIXES

    o   is.insidePolygon() returned two values when 'points' was not a
	matrix: the vector is now converted as a one-row matrix.

                 Changes in version 0.1-2 (2024-01-26)                  

OTHER CHANGES

    o   The calculations of polygon area with lon-lat coordinates has
	been removed because of errors in the formulas.

                 Changes in version 0.1-1 (2023-10-19)                  

BUG FIXES

    o   distance_to_arc() now returns the correct answer when the point
	(x,y) is close to an end-point of the arc.

    o   A memory leak in the C code of polygon2raster() has been
	fixed. Thin polygons (i.e., spread on a single row of polygons)
	are also correctly handled.
