rgeedim 0.4.0

• Support for geedim v2.0.0 and earthengine-api v1.7+

  • Updated API calls to use ee.Image.gd and ee.ImageCollection.gd accessors
  • Fixed gd_collection_from_list() to correctly extract underlying ee.Image from geedim 2.0 accessor objects
  • gd_initialize() now defaults to credentials = NULL, using Application Default Credentials (ADC) by default
  • gd_properties() now correctly returns the full image ID (including collection path) for geedim 2.0.0+, fixing an issue where only the asset name was returned.
  • Fix for gd_export() when geedim >= 2.0.0 where passing overwrite argument caused a TypeError.
  • Consistent use of ee.Geometry for region argument in gd_search(), gd_composite(), and gd_download() when geedim >= 2.0.0.

• Authentication and Headless Support

  • Standardized on GOOGLE_CLOUD_QUOTA_PROJECT environment variable for automatic project ID detection in gd_initialize()
  • gd_initialize(private_key_file=...) parameter and EE_SERVICE_ACC_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable are deprecated in favor of standard GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
  • gd_authenticate() and gd_initialize() now support authentication in headless environments (e.g. CI/CD, Workload Identity Federation)
  • Updated all vignettes and examples to use gd_is_initialized() and environment variable R_RGEEDIM_RUN_EXAMPLES for conditional evaluation

• gd_region() and gd_region_to_vect() improvements

  • gd_region() now correctly handles SpatVector objects with MultiPolygon geometries or holes by leveraging terra::writeVector(..., filetype="GeoJSON")
  • Using Python’s native json module (via reticulate) for dependency-light GeoJSON serialization and parsing
  • gd_region_to_vect() now supports complex GeoJSON-like lists, including GeometryCollection

rgeedim 0.2.8

• With reticulate >= 1.41.0 call py_require(c("earthengine-api" , "geedim")) on load

• Default Python virtual environment name changed from "r-reticulate" to "r-rgeedim"

  • Use gd_install() to initialize a new environment if needed.

• gd_projection(): update for earthengine-api usage of ee.projection.Projection class

• Replace use of knitr + rmarkdown with litedown for readme/vignette building

rgeedim 0.2.7

• gd_download() fix bug that prevented overwriting files with overwrite=TRUE when composite=FALSE

• gd_is_initialized() now accepts additional arguments (...) which are passed to gd_initialize()

• Unit tests now specify project= argument to gd_initialize()

rgeedim 0.2.6

• gd_authenticate(): Updates

  • Added force and scopes arguments from earthengine()$Authenticate(). force defaults to TRUE for consistency with prior behavior, and because users often want to use gd_authenticate() to change existing credentials.

  • Updated documentation for other auth_mode e.g. "colab"

• gd_initialize(): Updates

  • Added arguments credentials, cloud_api_key, url, http_transport and project

  • Deprecated argument opt_url (in favor of url)

• Argument updates compatible with older versions of earthengine-api (< 0.1.382)

rgeedim 0.2.5

• Update example for gd_enum_names()

• Fix different value storage in gd_enum_elements() (required for reticulate >= 1.29)

• Update examples in /misc folder

  • Add new example using gd_export() and the Earth Engine API directly via earthengine()

• Add gd_region_to_vect() an inverse method for gd_bbox()/gd_region() that creates a ‘terra’ SpatVector from a GeoJSON-like list

• Add gd_list_assets() a helper function for listing the assets associated with a particular Earth Engine project.

• reticulate::configure_environment() is no longer called on load, this is a precaution to avoid unintended impacts from the automatic routine installing on CRAN or similar.

rgeedim 0.2.4

• Add gd_task_status() and gd_task_uri() for working with Task object produced by gd_export()

• Fix for gd_composite() and gd_export() errors when region argument is specified as an R spatial object (rather than GeoJSON-like list)

• Fix bug in gd_enum_elements() and add gd_spectral_distance_metrics()

• gd_initialize(): Fix use of illogical use of GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable contents for Google Cloud service accounts under some conditions

• EE_SERVICE_ACC_PRIVATE_KEY is used for service accounts, whereas the former is used only for application credentials. GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is respected by gd_authenticate() auth_mode "gcloud" and "appdefault".

rgeedim 0.2.3

• For gd_install() method="virtualenv" or method="conda" if an environment of envname (default: "r-reticulate") does not exist, it gets created before running py_install()

• Add gd_spectral_distance_metrics() enum helper

rgeedim 0.2.2

• Added gd_install() for installation of ‘numpy’, ‘earthengine-api’, and ‘geedim’ Python modules via reticulate::py_install() or a system() call

• gd_bbox() will now calculate a bounding box extent from one or more {terra} SpatRaster, SpatRasterCollection, SpatVector, SpatVectorProxy input (in addition to existing support for SpatExtent)

  • Note that gd_region() allows for more complex boundary input via SpatVector or Well-Known Text (WKT) string

• Improved coercion interface for non-{terra} objects

  • The following inputs are now converted to {terra} equivalents (or their extents) as needed: WKT string, Spatial* ({sp} package), Raster* & Extent ({raster} package), sf* and bbox ({sf} package). WKT strings and SpatExtent-like objects (Extent, bbox) are assumed to be in the "OGC:CRS84" coordinate reference system.

rgeedim 0.2.1

• Updates to .onLoad() to avoid error messages related to Python 3 configuration discovery for {reticulate}

rgeedim 0.2.0

• Updates to support new image export to asset functionality in geedim 1.6+

  • Added gd_export(), a helper method for exporting images to Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage Bucket, or Earth Engine Project assets.

  • Added gd_export_types() "ExportType" enum helper function

  • Added gd_asset_id(), a helper method for creating asset IDs from a file/asset name and (optional) project name.

  • Added gd_get_asset(), gd_update_asset(), and gd_delete_asset(), helper functions for accessing, updating and deleting assets created in a Google Cloud project (i.e. those created via gd_export(..., type="asset"))

rgeedim 0.1.1

• Fix for R <4.1 compatibility (replaced lambda \(x) function syntax, replaced apply(..., simplify=FALSE) usage)

rgeedim 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN release

• gd_region() now supports more complex SpatVector geometries (no longer uses extent to form bounding box if x is SpatVector or can be converted to one)

• Add gd_is_initialized() and use for examples and other conditional evaluation of code that requires authentication and initialized ‘Google Earth Engine’ resources

rgeedim 0.0.0.9008

• Renamed gd_bandnames() -> gd_band_names()

• Added gd_band_properties() and gd_footprint()

rgeedim 0.0.0.9007

• Fix for enum helper functions gd_resampling_methods(), gd_composite_methods(), gd_cloud_mask_methods() to return values rather than names

• gd_download() now supports path expansion for filename argument

rgeedim 0.0.0.9006

• Better handling of additional arguments (i.e. crs, resampling, method) in gd_download() when x is a MaskedCollection and composite=TRUE.

• Added helper methods for working with the geedim enums: “CloudMaskMethod”, “CompositeMethod” and “ResamplingMethod”

• Added gd_mask_clouds() for masking out clouds or to apply a fill mask

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