Version 0.2-8 of rgrass7 (R-GRASS GIS interface) has been published on
CRAN. This version also works with GRASS 8, despite the package name, but
also represents a bridge to the future rgrass package, no longer using
rgdal but now terra for file transfer.
This release will permit those using functions readRAST(), writeRAST(),
readVECT() and writeVECT() to transition to the new read_RAST(),
write_RAST(), read_VECT() and write_VECT(), which use SpatRaster and
SpatVector objects defined in the terra package, and which may be coerced
to stars, raster and sp objects for rasters, and sf and sp objects for
vector. Details of the development may be followed through
https://github.com/rsbivand/rgrass/issues/42, with lots of helpful input
from contributors. Since rgdal will retire during 2023, these steps were
necessary, as well as opening up the R-GRASS interface to other R packages
and workflows.
Please report any problems in this thread, and/or raise issues on
https://github.com/rsbivand/rgrass/issues.
Best wishes,
Roger
