Other Changes

  • Modified the algorithm used by the CostDistance tool from an iterative method of
    finding the minimum cost surface to one that uses a priority-flood approach. This
    is far more efficient. Also, there was a bug in the original code that was the
    result of a mis-match between the neighbouring cell distances and the back-link
    direction. In some cases this resulted in an infinite loop, which is now resolved.
  • Improvements have been made to the WhiteboxTools GeoTIFF reader. A bug has been
    fixed that prevented tile-oriented (in contrast to the more common strip-oriented)
    TIFF files from being read properly. Support has been added for reading rasters
    that have been compressed using the DEFLATE algorithm. Lastly, the WhiteboxTools
    GeoTIFF reader now supports sparse rasters, as implemented by GDAL's GeoTIFF driver.
  • An issue in the SAGA raster format reader has been fixed.
