movecost 1.7:

• Hare’s metabolic cost function and Eastman’s abstract cost function added (the number of implemented cost functions is now 25);
• facility to take into account barriers (i.e., areas where the movement is inhibited) added to all the functions (‘movealloc()’ excluded);
• ‘movecost()’ now returns the conductance TransitionalLayer; this is instrumental to the internal optimisation of the ‘movenetw()’ function;
• the ‘movenetw()’ now also calculates LCPs network between pairs of neighboring locations;
• the ‘movenetw()’ function now returns a matrix reporting the cost incurred when moving between all the locations pair-wisely;
• internal optimisation of the ‘movenetw()’ function, which is now about 3 times faster than in ver.1.6;
• ‘oneplot’ parameter dropped from the ‘movenetw()’ function;
• fix to an error to the export facility in the ‘movenetw()’ function;
• fixes, improvements, and updates to the help documentation;
• link to the package’s vignette added to the help documentation of all the implemented functions.
