• FUNCTIONS

  • Text files generation from xml files are now done without using JavaStics
    command line (the speedup is about 10 times)
  • Getting parameters information (get_param_info) do not use XML files
    exploration anymore, the speed is largely improved

  • New function for generating weather data files (climat.txt)
  • New unit tests added

• FIXES:

  • get_param_value: forcing to get a character returned value
  • get_var_info: for variables names vector
  • get_param_txt: removed global variables use, looking for parameters names
    including parentheses
  • code formatting, comments, file names, variables names, function names,...
  • package namespace use in packages functions calls
  • pattern for replacing parameters names were are not consistent
    between XML files and inputs.csv
  • pattern for selecting parameters in Excel files, filtering parameter
    starting with "code_"
  • renaming plant initialisation parameters according to
    crop number tag (Crop1, Crop2)
  • tidyselect and filter syntax
  • homogenous naming of JavaSTICS and STICS

• DATA

  • added: meta-data and xsl files for converting XML files to
    text files for STICS
  • examples files for different files format used in the package are now
    distributed as zip files for lightening the extdata directory
