Changes in version 2026-08-23                      

Added

  - The kentsamples data for testing and demonstration.
  - The prop argument to occupancy allowing the calculation of
    proportional occupancies. Both the "relative" and "global" methods
    are available.
  - The bradypus dataset for testing and demonstration.
  - The sc_shape function to calculate points on small circles
  - The sc_center function to calculate a small circle based on points
    on the sphere
  - The sc_in function to calculate whether a bunch of points are inside
    a small circle or not (based on planes, rather than distances,
    about 10x faster).
  - The shull function for the definition of spherical hulls from data,
    with plotting.
  - The shullarea function to calculate the area of spherical hulls.
  - The emptymap function for quick demonsrations.

Changed

  - The pinna dataset now includes all species from the genus.
  - Omitted irrelevant functions from biodome (based on an initial
    screening).
  - Omitted ranges_ prefix from range calculation functions.
  - The function cenrad was renamed to radius
  - Refactored functions and standardized interface.

Known Missing

  - Convex hulls
  - plot=TRUE for data.frame methods when a metric is iterated with tax
  - mstlength, maxdist with tax entry and either full=TRUE or dm!=NULL,
    because the tracing of coordates in the original dataset is not yet
    implemented

Initialization

  - The package was forked from the 'biodome' project (v0.2.0-6) to
    efficiently focus on geographic range estimation. The corresponding
    functions were removed from that package.
