CRAN Release 2.4.2

whitebox 2.4.2

• wbt_source(): now accepts tmpdir argument which defaults to tempdir() (not getwd() or wbt_wd()) that is used for storing the intermediate shapefiles needed for WhiteboxTools

  • Also, the pattern for temporary file names is now customizable via pattern argument

• Bug fixes for wbt_source():

  • No longer writes temporary intermediate files to the working directory when passed a non-shapefile vector or non-GeoTIFF raster data source.

    • The temporary directory is used by default, unless new tmpdir argument is specified. This could be a breaking change if you were relying on the temporary files to be present in the WhiteboxTools working directory. Specify tmpdir in call to wbt_source() to make old behavior explicit.

  • Properly uses layer argument for data sources (e.g. GPKG) that may contain multiple vector layers or raster bands of interest (thanks to @mps9506 for reporting; #132)
