# metR 0.6.0 - Pileus

## New features

• EPflux() computes Eliassen-Palm fluxes (experimental).

• geom_arrow() and geom_vector() should plot faster.

• New functions is.full_season() and seasonaly().

• FitLm() returns model $$r^2$$ and adjusted $$r^2$$.

• FitLm() adds names to unnamed terms.

• New function WaveEnvelope() that computes… the wave envelope.

• geom_contour2(), geom_contour_fill() and geom_text_contour() now accept a global.breaks argument that controls whether breaks should be computed once using the range of the whole dataset or once for every grouping (e.g. faceting). TRUE (the default) ensures that intervals between contours are comparable between panels. Setting it to FALSE computes contours compatible with ggplot2::geom_conotur() (#109, thanks @freeseek)

## Bugfixes

• A reworked non-equispaced derivative gives better results in Derivate().

• ReadNetCDF() will not fail if the first variable was called “v” (yeah, I know.. weird error related to data.table’s non standard evaluation).

• Subsets in ReadNetCDF() won’t fail if no element is named (#107, thanks @m-saenger)

• Fixed bug in WaveFlux() (#110, thanks @salvatirehbein)

## Internals

• Cleaned up a lot of dependencies. Some are gone (they were not longer needed) and some have been moved to Suggest. Overall metR should now be a bit lighter to install.

# metR 0.5.0 - Incus

## New features

• ReadNetCDF() supports using NA in subset to refer to max or min value.

• ReadNetCDF()’s subset argument supports more complex queries. (see the help section at?ReadNetCDF()).

• ReadNetCDF() now has a simple date-time parser that is tried if the udunits2 package is not installed.

• GetSMNData() gains the ability to cache results in a file.

• Derivate() now can derive in a non-equispaced grid.

## Bugfixes

• geom_contour_fill() imputation method is fixed for some special cases (#96; thanks @bergmul).

• predict.eof() handles complex value svd correctly.

• Accommodates new grid implementation of units (#105 thanks @pmur002).

# metR 0.4.0 - Cumulonimbus

## New features

• New GlanceNetCDF() function that is an alias for ReadNetCDF(out = "vars") but now prints a human readable summary of the contents of the NetCDF file.

• geom_streamline() now uses 4th order Runge-Kutta instead of plain old Euler. It also draws arrows in the middle of the streamline.

• ReadNetCDF() is slightly faster and should use less memory.

• ReadNetCDF() supports more complex subsetting operations now.

• The df element returned by FitLm() now has the same length as the rest.

## Bugfixes

• ReadNetCDF() result will print correctly.

# metR 0.3.0 - Cumulonimbus

## New features

• Anomaly() has a new baseline argument.

• New function Trajectory() that computes trajectories in time-varying velocity fields.

## Bugfixes

• ReadNetCDF() now accepts dates as elements for subset.

• ReadNetCDF() will read all dates correctly (#91; thanks to @m-saenger).

## Breaking changes

• The es argument from MixingRatio() changes to e, to be consistent with the rest of the variables. Sorry, thermodynamics is not my forte! (thanks @PaoCorrales)

• Arrow heads in geom_arrow() are now scaled correctly in faceted plots (fixes, #92; thanks to @m-saenger)

# metR 0.2.0

## Breaking changes

There has been some changes in the interface of some functions for the sake of consistency.

• In Derivate() (and it’s derivated functions –see what I did there?), the data argument has been moved back. This is because this function is intended to be called inside a data.table of mutate() call, where you don’t need to explicitly specify the data.

• In EOF() the dcast-style formula interface has been removed. The data argument was also moved back so you can use the n argument more easily without naming it.

• ImputeEOF() follows the same conventions. The dcast-style interface has been removed and the data argument has been moved after the max.eof argument.

• BuildQsWave() and FitQsWave() have been removed and should had never even existed.

• The default skip argument for geom_text_contour() is now 0.

• Removed hemisphere argument from season() since the function returns the trimester so it made no sense.

• Contour functions now compute breaks globally (using all the data) instead of per panel. This means default intercomparabilty between faceted plots but also a considerable deviation from ggplot2::geom_contour().

• The Between operators are removed since they were already implemented in data.table.

• The default geom for stat_na() is changed to point for consistency with stat_subset()

## Other changes

• Arrows in geom_arrow() and geom_vector() scale with vector magnitude.
• New geom geom_streamline() for visualizing vector fields.
• Utilities dlon(), dlat(), dx(), dy() for converting physical units into spherical units.
• New geom geom_contour_tanaka() that plots illuminated contours.
• New function Interpolate() for bilinear interpolation.
• Fixed bug in FitWave() with wavenumber 0. Now it returns the mean.
• FitWave() runs slightly faster and BuildWave() runs much faster.
• Removed GeomContourFill object since it was just a polygon.
• The results from EOF() now use factors instead of numbers to identify each PC
• New scale scale_mag() and guide guide_vector() for controlling and communicating the scale of vectors. These are highly experimental and will change in the future, but provide some very needed functionality so I decided to export them as they are.
• geom_arrow() gains new pivot argument to control point of rotation and preserve.dir to tell if angle should be preserved.
• stat_contour_fill() and stat_contour2() print a warning when no contours can be made.
• EOF() now supports estimation of confidence intervals via bootstrap.
• EOF() supports varimax rotation. Rotated components are labelled accordingly.
• geom_relief() is much faster now (but see package rayshader).
• New geom_shadow() for casting shadows in topographic maps.
• Contour calculations in StatContour2 are memoised so they are only computed once even adding several layers with the same contours (geom_contour() + geom_text_contour()) or running the same plot while tweaking it’s appearance.
• New FitLm() for getting fast estimates of linear fits.
• New FilterWave() for filtering waves.
• Circular dimensions had quite a ride during this development process. RepeatCircular() was deprecated in favour of WrapCircular() which is more robust, and then WrapCircular() was deprecated in favour of the ggperiodic package.
• The way that stat_contour2(), stat_contour_fill() and geom_streamlines() handle circular dimensions has changed. Now you need to use xwrap/ywrap to explicitly set the domain. This makes the implementation more robust and also allow to easily wrap to an arbitrary domain.
• After that change, the wrapping functionality has moved to ggperiodic, which can handle this stuff better. The above mentioned arguments still work but are not documented and will be deprecated.
• EOF() gains a fill argument for sparse-ish data.
• geom_text_contour() now has the ability to draw a stroke around text.
• geom_contour_fill() now can impute missing values with bivariate interpolation.
• BuildField() actually renamed BuildWave() (which should’ve happen in the previous release according to this News).
• New function as.path() and added functionality to Interpolate() that allows to interpolate values along a path of locations.
• New function Impute2D() which is an exported version of the method used by geom_contour_fill() to (soft) impute missing values.
• subset argument in ReadNetCDF() now accepts character vectors for time components.
