Changes in version 0.3.2 (2024-12-05)                  

DEPENDENCE

vctrs is suggested to run mobsim unit tests

                 Changes in version 0.3.1 (2024-03-22)                  

POTENTIAL CODE BREAK

  - In sample_quadrats() default value for avoid_overlap argument was
    changed from FALSE to TRUE.
  - sim_sad() now throws an error if s_pool or n_sim is not a whole
    number.
  - sim_sad() and other simulation functions now number species with
    leading zeroes (species_001, species_002, etc)

NEW FEATURES

In sim_thomas_community() and sim_thomas_coords() users can now specify:

  - a range (rectangular) for each species
  - different numbers of mother points (0 (no clustering), 1 or more for
    each species
  - different standard deviations for each species
  - coordinates for the mother points

In sampling_quadrats(), sim_sad(), sim_poisson_coords(),
sim_poisson_community(), sim_thomas_coords() and sim_thomas_community(),
a new argument seed was added to allow reproducible results by fixing
the random seed in set.seed().

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  - spatstat.core functions moved to spatstat.random. Thanks to @rubak
    for pointing it out.
  - increased speed for sim_thomas_coords() when there is no clustering.
  - significant increase of test code coverage.

DEPENDENCE

testthat version 3.0.0 or above is needed to test and build from source.
