The geosphere package has moved to its own site on R-forge (after only a brief stay at R-gis).

And so have the crop, disease modeling related packages: http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/cropsim/

rgis -> geodata

rhijmans@users.r-forge.r-project.org (Robert Hijmans) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:37:58 GMT

I changed the name of the Rgis package to geodata. To reflect what it is for: (down) loading geographic data.

raster

raster has moved to its own home on R-forge. This is to allow easier beta testing and tracking as it is mature towards CRAN submission

It depends on raster 0.2, but will be adapted to the latest raster version when it is stable.

raster pkg: changed function names

rhijmans@users.r-forge.r-project.org (Robert Hijmans) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:12:31 GMT

changes in function names, to make them shorter:
in stead of raster.filename() -> filename()
same for ncols, nrows, ncells, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, resolution, xres, yres

sp <-> raster

rhijmans@users.r-forge.r-project.org (Robert Hijmans) — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:38:22 GMT

new function as.raster transforms a sp grid or pixel object to a raster object
new function as.spgrid does the reverse.

changes in function names

rhijmans@users.r-forge.r-project.org (Robert Hijmans) — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 11:52:58 GMT

raster.create.new() has become raster.new()
raster.create.from.file() has become raster.from.file()

raster classes

rhijmans@users.r-forge.r-project.org (Robert Hijmans) — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 10:34:18 GMT

I changed the raster and raster stack classes. They now inherit from "Spatial" from the sp package. This is to better align our work with sp.
I have removed these slots: ncells, xres, yres
they are now available (and calculated) via getter functions: raster.ncells(object), raster.xres, and raster.yres
