meteoland 2.0.0

CRAN release: 2023-02-17

  • Added the new workflows to work without sp, raster, rgdal packages. This is a breaking change, meaning it affects all the package:
    • New functions for interpolation, calibration, cross-validation and summarising workflows has been added. See vignette("tidy-meteoland", package = "meteoland") for more info.
    • Added deprecation notices for all functions that use sp, raster, rgdal packages internally.
