ssarp 0.5.0 (2025-09-16)

The default versions of create_SAR(), create_SpAR(), estimate_BAMM(), estimate_DR(), and estimate_MS() are now all-lowercase (create_sar(), create_spar(), estimate_bamm(), estimate_dr(), and estimate_ms()). The original spellings have been added as aliases to the functions (both spellings may be used).

Code and text in the README has been clarified, including fixing an error in the example code related to using find_land()
- All references to the depricated find_land() function have been removed from documentation
- Added better descriptions of the outputs for create_SAR() and create_SpAR()

Package name is now ssarp instead of SSARP
- Added the ssarp::get_richness() function, which creates a standard species richness dataframe
- The ssarp::get_data() and ssarp::get_key() functions have been replaced by a helpful vignette describing how to access occurrence records using rgbif.
- Messages across the package can be silenced using options(ssarp.silent = TRUE) now
- A new example file for testing ssarp::estimate_BAMM has been added (inst/extdata/event_data_Patton_Anolis.txt)

All examples run instead of remaining in a \dontrun block
- More information about using the metadata from plots created with ssarp::create_SAR() and ssarp::create_SpAR() has been added to their documentation
- More information about the speciation rate estimation methods in ssarp have been added to the ssarp::create_SpAR() documentation

New testthat test cases to ensure that calculations are done correctly across the package
- Column names have been standardized across the package
- Plot printing is now off by default in ssarp::create_SAR() and ssarp::create_SpAR()

Changed the names of all functions to "verb_object" structure
- Two new example files were added to the package: Patton_Anolis_Trimmed.tree and SSARP_Example_Dat.csv to allow users to run examples involving a phylogenetic tree of Anolis and GBIF data for Anolis, respectively
- Added "get_presence_absence" function, which creates a presence-absence matrix when given a dataframe output by SSARP::find_areas()

Function names are now in pkg::function() notation throughout the documentation
- Vignettes have been updated to reflect the new function names and example files
- The majority of examples will now run, instead of remaining in a \dontrun block as in 0.2.0

@import and @importFrom statements were removed in favor of pkg::function() statements across the package
