PEcAn.DB 1.7.2.9000

Added

• New functions stamp_started and stamp_finished, used to record the start and end time of model runs in the database. Both used to live in PEcAn.remote and were moved to resolve a circular dependency.
• New function convert_input, used to convert between formats while reusing existing files where possible. It previously lived in package PEcAn.utils, but was moved here to simplify dependencies. (#3026; @nanu1605)
• get.trait.data gains new argument write (with default FALSE), passed on to get.trait.data.pft (@Aariq, #3065).

PEcAn.DB 1.7.2

Removed

• rename_jags_columns() has been removed from PEcAn.DB but is now available in package PEcAn.MA (#2805, @moki1202).
