                 Changes in version 0.4-4 (2024-09-03)                  

  - use ## IGNORE_RDIFF_BEGIN and ## IGNORE_RDIFF_END in regular test
    output

                 Changes in version 0.4-3 (2024-06-19)                  

  - see #87 - Windows QGIS standalone installations of GRASS GIS can be
    used only if R is started in the OSGeo4W shell bundled with the
    installation

  - write_VECT(): when the SpatVector object already refers to a source
    file, an intermediate temporary file is no longer written to get the
    data into the GRASS GIS database (#93). A similar shortcut was
    already in place for write_RAST().

  - read_VECT(): provide access to the standalone GDAL-GRASS driver to
    read vector data, which skips the step of writing a intermediate
    file (#93). Note that this standalone driver needs to be set up
    separately. More information is in the driver's README.

  - read_VECT(): support reading as SpatVectorProxy class of {terra}, by
    providing a proxy argument (#93).

                 Changes in version 0.4-2 (2024-03-17)
