Predictive Ecology Community - SpaDES v1.3.1 now on CRAN

v1.3.1 is now available on CRAN.

This is a fairly significant update, with several important enhancements and bug fixes.

The default locations for simulation inputs, outputs, cache, and module paths have changed and can be easily set via new option spades.inputPath, spades.outputPath, spades.cachePath, and spades.modulePath, respectively.
The spades.modulesRepo option was renamed to spades.moduleRepo.
Improved simulation debugging: the debug argument in spades can now accept any expression as a character string, and debug = TRUE only prints the current event (the old behaviour can be restored using debug = "simList")
Improved useability for module developers, including:
- New RStudio addin to simplify creation of new modules;
- Modules with lots of code can be split into several files: put helper functions etc. into .R files located in the module’s R/ subdirectory;
New tools for performing heuristic optimization using pattern orientated modelling (see ?POM)
Improved support of parallel computatations

For a complete list of changes, see the package’s NEWS file.
