 # fireSense_ignitionPredict (development version)
 
+- `SpaDES.core` is now in `reqdPkgs` (`scheduleEvent()`, `P()`, `Plots()` are used).
 - Ignitions are placed on fine pixels with one `split()` of the candidate pixels and a pixelID-to-row lookup, instead of two scans of the whole fine-pixel table for every ignited coarse pixel (about 3 s a year at 1.3M flammable fine pixels). The same draws are made in the same order, so ignitions, escapes and the random number stream are unchanged.
 
 # fireSense_ignitionPredict 1.2.0
