v0.2.0

This version is in line with the CRAN 0.2.0 release.

New Features

add animate() function to create data cube time series animations
apply mask bands on pixel values during the construction of the data cube, see ?image_mask
add write_tif() to export data cubes as (possibly cloud-optimized) GeoTIFF files (one per time slice)
export of data cubes with write_tif() and write_ncdf() supports packing data values to smaller integer types
processing cubes is interruptible, though it can still take time to let all threads finish their current chunk
add as_array() function to convert a data cube to a native in-memory R array
new operator fill_time() fills NA pixels of data cubes based on time series interpolation
changed image collection database schema, existing collections must be recreated
new global configuration function gdalcubes_options() as a replacement to gdalcubes_set_threads() etc.
new function add_images() adds images to an existing image collection

rename filter_predicate() -> filter_pixel()
collection format Sentinel2_L2A now includes WVP, AOT, and SCL bands
consistent output for printing data cube views and data cubes
new collection format for Sentinel-2 data on Theia (credits to Xavier Laviron)
new collection format for MODIS MxD13Q1 vegetation index data
add write_json_descrargument to write_ncdf()
new argument with_VRT in write_ncdf() to write GDAL VRT datasets for data cube time slices
collection formats can now overwrite scale, offset, and unit for bands
write_ncdf() can produce netCDF files without bounds variables if desired
write_ncdf() and write_tif() return created files as character vectors.
