 Title: 'WhiteboxTools' R Frontend
-Version: 2.4.1
+Version: 2.4.2
 Description: An R frontend for the 'WhiteboxTools' library, which is an advanced geospatial data analysis platform developed by Prof. John Lindsay at the University of Guelph's Geomorphometry and Hydrogeomatics Research Group. 'WhiteboxTools' can be used to perform common geographical information systems (GIS) analysis operations, such as cost-distance analysis, distance buffering, and raster reclassification. Remote sensing and image processing tasks include image enhancement (e.g. panchromatic sharpening, contrast adjustments), image mosaicing, numerous filtering operations, simple classification (k-means), and common image transformations. 'WhiteboxTools' also contains advanced tooling for spatial hydrological analysis (e.g. flow-accumulation, watershed delineation, stream network analysis, sink removal), terrain analysis (e.g. common terrain indices such as slope, curvatures, wetness index, hillshading; hypsometric analysis; multi-scale topographic position analysis), and LiDAR data processing.

+# whitebox 2.4.2
+
+ * `wbt_source()`: now accepts `tmpdir` argument which defaults to `tempdir()` (not `getwd()` or `wbt_wd()`) that is used for storing the intermediate shapefiles needed for WhiteboxTools
+
+   * Also, the pattern for temporary file names is now customizable via `pattern` argument
+
+ * Bug fixes for `wbt_source()`:
+
+   * No longer writes temporary intermediate shapefiles to the working directory when passed a non-shapefile vector data source. 
+
+      * The temporary directory is used by default, unless new `tmpdir` argument is specified. This could be a breaking change if you were relying on the temporary files to be present in the WhiteboxTools working directory. Specify `tmpdir` in call to `wbt_source()` to make old behavior explicit.
+
+   * Properly uses `layer` argument for data sources (e.g. GPKG) that may contain multiple vector layers of interest (thanks to @mps9506 for reporting; #132)

 # whitebox 2.4.1
 
  * Rebuilt `wbttools` and `wbttoolparameters` with WhiteboxTools v2.4.0
