whitebox 2.2.1

• Adds wbt_data_dir() for managing where WhiteboxTools "WBT" directory is installed.

  • The new default path is a preferred location generated with tools::R_user_dir(package="whitebox") on R 4.0+

  • If "whitebox_tools" is found on your PATH, you no longer need any custom setup of whitebox.exe_path. The path and options will be detected automatically via Sys.which("whitebox_tools").

  • Custom options set within the session or environment take precedence over PATH.
