This is a major release of the package, with several changes and additions. Breaking changes Prefix change: All gfwr functions are now prefixed with gfw_ to make a direct reference to the package. This replaces the prefix get_. This allows functions from the package to appear together in searches and menus, and avoids possible confusion with other functions starting with "get_" in other R packages In addition to the prefix change, get_raster() was renamed to gfw_ais_fishing_hours() to avoid confusion with the new incoming "raster" datasets implemented in this version and to be consistent with the output of the model, which is expressed in (apparent) fishing hours. The two datasets in the package were also renamed to gfw_: gfw_marine_regions and gfw_test_shape In gfw_region_id(), the parameter region_name was renamed to region for precision, since it accepts both region names and ISO codes. (#196) New functions and endpoints gfw_ais_presence() implements the AIS-based Vessel presence dynamic dataset, which can be found in the Global Fishing Watch map. This dataset aggregates the presence of all vessels (fishing and non-fishing), expressed in hours of activity in each cell. gfw_sar_vessel_detections() incorporates the SAR-based vessel detections (presence), also found in the map. See Paolo et al 2024 for more details. Non-breaking changes gfw_event() has no longer the gap_intentional_disabling parameter because all gaps returned are high confidence and considered to be intentional: The gap event must be at least 12 hours It must start at least 50 nautical miles from shore It must start in an area with a satellite reception quality greater than 10 positions per day The vessel must have at least 14 satellite positions in the 12 hours prior to the gap See the gap events documentation for more details behind these rules. Bug fixes fixed gfw_event_stats() (previously get_event_stats()) filter by flag (#215) fixed #224 and gfw_marine_regions dataset (previously marine_regions) is available without attaching gfwr (thanks to @jaseeverett) fixes the includes parameter of gfw_vessel_info(), reported in #231
