n2khab 0.15.0

Breaking changes

• read_watersurfaces_hab() has lost its argument interpreted.
  Its former default FALSE is the behaviour that is continued.
  It was found (#221) that the rationale for interpreted = TRUE was based on wrong assumptions; occurrences coded as main type 3130 cannot be interpreted as one specific subtype.
• read_habitatmap_terr() and read_watersurfaces_hab() now always use the same element names in the returned list, regardless of the data source version.
  (Before, old package behaviour was still imitated for some old data source versions, but this is not the best approach.)
• The 'xxx_polygons' element in the returned list of read_habitatmap_stdized(), read_habitatmap_terr() and read_watersurfaces_hab() gains two extra attribute columns since the newest data source versions (below): year_assessment (the year when the types in the polygon have been assessed) and method_assessment (the method used to assess the types in the polygon).
• read_habitatsprings(units_7220 = TRUE) now concatenates the system_type and source values of the corresponding points.

New features

• expand_types() now expands subtypes 3130_aom and 3130_na to their main type, following #221.

• The following new data source versions are now supported by the corresponding functions (#215; inbo/n2khab-preprocessing/pull/79):

  • habitatmap_2025 (read_habitatmap())
  • habitatmap_stdized_2025_v1 (read_habitatmap_stdized())
  • habitatmap_terr_2025_v1 (read_habitatmap_terr())
  • watersurfaces_hab_v7 (read_watersurfaces_hab())
  • watersurfaces_refpoints_v7 (read_watersurfaces_refpoints())
  • habitatstreams_2025 (read_habitatstreams())
  • habitatsprings_2025v2 (read_habitatsprings())

  Function documentation was updated accordingly.
  Some noteworthy changes and fixes in data sources:

  • read_watersurfaces_hab(): the argument collapse is ignored since data source version watersurfaces_hab_v7 because the 'collapse' step is now part of the workflow to create the data source (solving issue #78).
  • watersurfaces_hab_v7: duplication inside concatenated strings is fixed (solving issue #75).
  • habitatmap_terr_2025_v1:
    • Less polygons have been regarded as 'exclusively aquatic' (hence excluded from the data set), by no longer using the phab sum to do this.
    • Type 6230 has been interpreted as 6230_hmo if code_orig is "6230,6410".

• read_habitatsprings() has gained an argument filter_system to filter the system type in a conservative way, i.e. including system type 'unknown' if 'mire' or 'rivulet' are requested.
  It also works with the concatenated system_type column for read_habitatsprings(units_7220 = TRUE).
