motif 0.6.5 (2025-07-26)

• Forces dropping categories internally from the SpatRaster objects

motif 0.6.4 (2023-06-29)

• Fixes option of creating spatial lsp objects when the window size is 0

motif 0.6.3

• Adds an option to remove metadata information with lsp_add_stars, lsp_add_terra, and lsp_add_sf
• Fixes a bug when sf window object has no columns

motif 0.6.2

• Improves handling of terra's SpatRaster class in lsp_add_terra

motif 0.6.1 (2023-04-04)

• lsp_add_stars and lsp_add_terra now do not drop the signature list-column, but restructures it into many raster layers
• Changes defaults in lsp_signature, lsp_search, and lsp_compare to ordered = FALSE and repeated = FALSE (both were TRUE before)
• Improves handling of terra's SpatRaster class in lsp_extract
• Mutes philentropy::distance messages

motif 0.6.0

• Adds possibility of providing two numerical values to window, where the first one represents the expected window size and the second one is the window shift

motif 0.5.2 (2022-06-07)

• Speeds up distance calculations in lsp_search and lsp_compare
• Further improves support for inputs with the terra's SpatRaster class

motif 0.5.1

• Improves support for inputs with the terra's SpatRaster class

motif 0.5.0 (2021-08-23)

• Adds support for inputs and outputs with the terra's SpatRaster class

motif 0.4.3 (2021-06-03)

• Adds lsp_restructure() to split signatures from a list-column into many columns

motif 0.4.2

• Fixes CRAN gcc-UBSAN/clang-UBSAN RcppArmadillo issue

motif 0.4.1 (2021-02-05)

• Improves documentation
• Adds small data and small data examples

motif 0.4.0

• Improves and simplifies tests
• Fixes code to work on cropped stars proxy
• Adds classes argument to lsp_search()
• Adds a type argument to lsp_add_quality(), making it possible to calculate either isolation (type = "segmentation") or distinction (type = "cluster")
• Adds lsp_add_examples() to extract and add stars objects to an lsp object
• Adds lsp_add_examples.sf to extract and add stars objects to an sf object (the output of lsp_search())
• Adds lsp_mosaic() to create artificial landscapes by rearranging spatial data for example regions
• Creates internal determine_classes() function
• Creates internal prepare_window() function

motif 0.3.12

• The Nowosad (2021) paper has been published https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-020-01135-0)
• First stable version

motif 0.0.0.9000

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package
