Package releases

Original version was FATE-HD, developed and used in papers such as Boulangeat 2014, Barros 2017 or Carboni 2018 (see FATE tutorial - Publications). It was only C++ code, and all modules were linked together (LIGHT, DISPERSAL, HABSUIT, SEEDING, DISTURBANCE).

Refinements to the model, and integration of the C++ code within an R package, as well as new modules development, were meant to facilitate the use and spread of the FATE model.

Version 1.3.0 (september 2023)

• addition of LIGHT_RECRUIT parameter within LIGHT module, and --SOIL_MASK--, SOIL_FILL_MAP and SOIL_RECRUIT parameters within SOIL module (see FATE tutorial - Modules)

Version 1.2.0 (april 2023)

• compatibility with PROJ8
• change BOOST files to update BH package from version 1.75 to 1.81
• optimization of SimulMap with unswitching
• minor corrections

Version 1.1.0 (may 2022)

• addition of SHADE_FACTOR parameter within LIGHT module (see FATE tutorial - Modules)

Version 1.0.0 (june 2021)

• all steps included in one tool (PRE-FATE, FATE, POST-FATE), that can be easily installed on all OS (Mac, Unix, Windows)
• a simplification of some structural equations of the model (see FATE tutorial - Modelling framework)
• 8 modules that can be turned on/off (see FATE tutorial - Modules)
