- hexagonal and rectangular grids: `tessellate()`,
- custom CRS transformation pipelines in `project()`,
- and fixes for many long-standing issues!

Do you work with Zarr data? The `pizzarr` package has just been published on CRAN! This is an R implementation for creating, reading, and writing chunked Zarr arrays, developed by David Blodgett and Mark Keller. It supports both Zarr V2 & V3 and efficient slicing of large N-dimensional arrays, making it perfect for handling massive datasets.
