+New rgrass version (to be posted)
+
+{{{#!td
+  - The #rstats-#grassgis interface is getting a lot of love lately!! A new version of rgrass is now on CRAN (Here RT with comment Roger's tweet: https://twitter.com/RogerBivand/status/1500158809691594761?s=20&t=pIF_ik5iqrWQPIz1iSOUkg)
+  - The rgrass package works in 2 main modes: users can start R in a running GRASS session or start a fresh GRASS session from R. In both cases, all GRASS spatial power can be used from R - extending what is already feasible in R-spatial alone, and all statistical and plotting power of R can be used with GRASS data. Win-win!!
+  - This new rgrass release will permit those using functions readRAST(), writeRAST(), readVECT() and writeVECT() to transition to the new read_RAST(), write_RAST(), read_VECT() and write_VECT(), which use SpatRaster and SpatVector objects defined in the terra package.
+  - terra objects may then be coerced to stars, raster and sp objects for rasters, and sf and sp objects for vector. The development details and contributors' inputs can be found at: https://github.com/rsbivand/rgrass/issues/42. 
+  - Please test and report any issues at https://github.com/rsbivand/rgrass/issues. Also, don't be shy and help us document these new functions by adding vignettes in the package website: https://rsbivand.github.io/rgrass/ and in the GRASS wiki: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics. Thanks Roger, Robert and all contributors! (twitter handles here and a nice gif)
