Changes in version 2.3.0 (2025-07-23)                  

Updates

  - length of boundaries is calculated as distance from farthest points
    through edges of a subgraph of adjacent boundary elements, instead
    of straight line between points
  - Gaussian neutral model uses autocorrelation range based on
    variogram, rather than LISA clusters
  - categorical_boundary function deprecated, and functionality merged
    with define_boundary function
  - renamed statistical test functions to improve clarity
  - plot_boundary now optionally returns a SpatRaster object with
    boundary elements and boundary element overlaps
  - removed dependencies on sf and pdqr
  - added dependency on gstat
