Changes in version 1.2.0                        

  - Expand and rewrite vignettes (how to save a time series of traits).
  - Prettier time series plot.
  - Make some internals read-only (time_layer_mapping &
    number_time_steps) and introduce getters to retrieve these values.
  - Finally fix the formatting of the temaining time estimate.
  - When saving a species: check if its possible to convert the prefix
    to a string instead of directly throwing an error.

                 Changes in version 1.1.4 (2024-02-09)                  

  - Refactoring & more tests.
  - Make sure dimensionality is preserved in the c++ functions.
  - Improve the display of the remaining time estimate during the
    simulation.
  - Update vignettes and docs.

                        Changes in version 1.1.3                        

  - Fix bug in the initialization of the "current" environment which
    would always point to the same memory address, instead of a new one
    for each object / simulation.
  - Improve print method for the simulation environment.

                        Changes in version 1.1.2                        

  - Set the current environment as soon as the simulation is
    initialized.
  - Subsequently: make sure that the environment actually has values, as
    otherwise terra::as.matrix fails. Also update examples because of
    that.

                        Changes in version 1.1.1                        

  - Safeguard the dispersal function for NA in the inputs.

                        Changes in version 1.1.0                        

  - update Ricker reproduction model. Add handling of negative
    reproduction rates, improve handling of boundary conditions. Add
    version with Allee effects.

                        Changes in version 1.0.3                        

  - fix bug where traits could be added as references, which in turn
    could lead to unpredictable results in combination with the cpp
    functions.

                        Changes in version 1.0.2                        

  - allow multiple species to be added in add_species()
  - improve information printing
  - automatically generate names for the environment sub-datasets if
    none are set. Error if the supplied names are not suitable.

                 Changes in version 1.0.1 (2023-12-05)                  

  - fix out-of-bounds access in calculate_suitability() found by CRAN's
    ASAN / valgrind checks
  - fix warning for recycled values in example

                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2023-11-23)                  

  - first release
