rgrass 0.4-3 (2024-06-19)

• see #87 - Windows QGIS standalone installations of GRASS GIS can be used only if R is started in the OSGeo4W shell bundled with the installation

• write_VECT(): when the SpatVector object already refers to a source file, an intermediate temporary file is no longer written to get the data into the GRASS GIS database (#93). A similar shortcut was already in place for write_RAST().

• read_VECT(): provide access to the standalone GDAL-GRASS driver to read vector data, which skips the step of writing a intermediate file (#93). Note that this standalone driver needs to be set up separately. More information is in the driver's README.

• read_VECT(): support reading as SpatVectorProxy class of {terra}, by providing a proxy argument (#93).
