Dear userRs I am pleased to announce the release of the new package *openSTARS* on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/openSTARS/index.html). openSTARS prepares GIS data for stream network analysis using open source GRASS GIS within R. It is intended as an alternative to the ArcGIS toolbox STARS to format the input data for the SSN package for Spatial Statistical Modeling on Stream Networks (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SSN/index.html). For more information see https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/MiKatt/openSTARS/master/release_files/release_announcement.html . Any comments and suggestions are very welcome.
