rBDAT 0.10.0 (2022-10-14)

added information and example about 'inv=0' in getForm to return volume tables (so-called 'Massetafeln' of Grundner und Schwappach, 1921) equivalent form
coerce 'bark'-parameter in getDiameter, getVolume and getHeight into logical of length one.
removed LazyData entry in Description file.
updated buildTree(, check="biomass") to calculate D13 and D03 for correct evaluation of the biomass function. It is now possible to hand over a percentile of the D03-distribution with D2=0 and H2=]0,100[. Consequently, the default behaviour has changed in case no D2 information is given: formerly NFI1-form was assumed but now volume table-equivalence is assumed. This is now coherent to all other functions in BDAT.
The consequence of allowing D1=0 in building the data set for evaluating biomass for small trees, are wrong estimates for those small trees with respect to taper curve evaluation and, hence, to other characteristics like volume, double bark thickness and diameter. Now, those small trees correctly return zero in those cases.
added PACKAGE argument to all .Fortran() calls

rBDAT 0.9.9

now the error indication of subroutine BDAT20 is evaluated and respective trees get treated accordingly, ie. set to NA
now allow for D1 = 0 and 0 < H1 < 2.5 so that very small trees can be evaluated for biomass as indeed implemented.
Added citation for biomass functions.

rBDAT 0.9.8 (2021-03-16)

added more tolerance for tests on CRAN windows old-rel

rBDAT 0.9.7 (2021-02-24)

modifications to avoid warnings in LTO (link time optimization of gcc, option -flto=10), especially in rBDAT_init.c
in Fortran function FnBiomass, use explicit declaration and corrected passing of variables with required type

rBDAT 0.9.6 (2021-02-18)

added doi of citation in Description file
corrected par() re-setting in plot.datBDAT examples

rBDAT 0.9.5

improved examples in several functions

rBDAT 0.9.4

remove BDAT docs from package; now available at https://gitlab.com/vochr/rbdat/-/blob/master/bdatdocs//
small updates in vignette and package info

rBDAT 0.9.3

prepare for CRAN
update of Fortran Code to remove compile warnings
small updates in vignette

rBDAT 0.9.2

call of getDiameter via S3-methods dispatch

rBDAT 0.9.1

added function to easily update R-scripts: use 'rBDAT' instead of 'rBDATPRO'
added startup message
added .onUnload to detach .so/.dll

rBDAT 0.9.0

This is a clone of https://gitlab.com/vochr/rbdatpro, hence, a rename of R-Package 'rBDATPRO' v0.8.1.9000. With that, the package is named more appropriately (as BDATPRO was a specific version of BDAT), shorter and this is the canonical name of the provided functionality.

in the devel version of rBDATPRO

Problems when calling getBiomass with very small trees: internal call to getDiameter(, Hx=0.3*H, ) returns NA and hence getBiomass stops with error. As first measure the precalculation of D03 inside getBiomass is stopped and left to be done via FnBiomasse in Fortran. In consequence, D2 can not be given as q03-quantile (if so, assumed form is set to H2=50, i.e. mean NFI2 taper form).

rBDAT 0.8.0

Added original BDAT documentation to directory vignettes/. (pkgbuild::build() will delete inst/doc prior to building the tarball. Just don't use it if you don't have to, see https://github.com/r-lib/pkgbuild/issues/58 or vignettes/build/issue58.html) While building the tarball the BDAT documentation (via an entry in vignettes/.install_extras) will be copied into inst/doc, from where it will be installed into doc/ when installing the tarball (set build_vignettes = TRUE if using devtools::install(), but avoid devtools whenever you can).
Fixed stale fortran codes.
Infected with packager.
Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

rBDAT 0.7.3

error correction in getVolume: if nothing else than the tree parameter is given, the function estimates standing coarse wood volume including bark; if parameter bark was given as FALSE, still the volume in bark was returned, now correct so that bark parameter is evaluated in that context
small correction in buildTree in explaining how parameter Az is estimated if not given

rBDAT 0.7.2

in plotting function the default names using dbh and height are now rounded to first decimal
in getVolume test of inclusion of A and B parameter in parameter tree now is more general

rBDAT 0.7.1

some adjustments for CRAN submission

rBDAT 0.7.0

In function BDATVOLDHOR changed the interpretation of the parameter DHGrz into Dob (Diameter over bark) instead of Dub (Diameter under bark)
getVolume now returns total coarse wood volume over bark (Vfm m.R.) instead of harvested coarse wood volume under bark (Efm o.R.)
\code{getBiomass} now returns appropriate results if H2 is given as quantile or D2 as form quotient
consolidated the answers of the get*-functions when one or several trees are given and the optional parameter hx / dx is used

rBDAT 0.6.5

error in plot function: no assortments for subsetted dat.BDAT (unless first is selected), because wrong index was used. Corrected and example added

rBDAT 0.6.4

correction in v0.6.3 led to false calculations of stem height of classical assortments (esp. nvDh) in certain cases
added missing Volume information for X-Holz in case D1<10
added assortment information into plot function (which has partly been rewritten)

rBDAT 0.6.3

in case of tree having D1 < 10 only industrial wood is assorted. Added missing length-middiameter-topdiameter information for that case (calculated in separate part of the Fortran code)

rBDAT 0.6.2

corrected error in (adapted) Fortran code to test for almost zero instead of to be equal zero (out-variable LDSort in BDAT20 subroutine)

rBDAT 0.6.1

Corrected error in data checking for class type. It was possible to call Fortran routines with erroneous data, which led to crashing R

rBDAT 0.6.0

Functions to estimate the form factor (getForm()), i.e. mean q03 are implemented

rBDAT 0.5.0

added an experimental plotting function

rBDAT 0.4.1

correct some faulty meta-data (help, examples)

rBDAT 0.4.0

Vectorized fortran functions have been added for a quicker calculation of many trees at once instead of using sapply (at least ten times faster)

rBDAT 0.2.1

corrected error in transform BDAT20-output to proper format for output of getAssortment()

rBDAT 0.2.0

added extra output to getAssortment(): length and diameter information about the classical assortments, now comparable to the output of fix length assortments

rBDAT 0.1.0

first version with Fortran scripts being compiled when installing (instead of using pre-compiled Win-DLL), i.e usage of BDAT is now OS independent and 64bit available
