CRAN release 0.4.0

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
