bcmaps v0.18.0

CRAN release v0.18.0

• Added bc_neighbours() function to call layers containing adjacent jurisdictions.
• Ensured the geometry column in all layers is consistently named "geometry" (Thanks @boshek)
• Moving sf package to Depends to take advantage of sf print methods.
• Added bc_bbox() to get a bounding box for British Columbia (#40).
• All references to external data package now point to bcmapsdata because of this R bug (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17520)

bcmaps v0.17.1

• Fixed an issue where self_union() would fail due to a change in the raster package (30cef34)

bcmaps v0.17.0

• Output of available_layers() has changed: shortcut_function column is now logical, uses better column names, and has a custom print function that gives more information. (#34)
• Add links to combine_nr_rd() function from regional_districts() and municipalities(). This function combines Regional Districts with the Northern Rockies Regional Municipalites to create a full provincial layer of 'Regional-District-like' polygons.
• Added Timber Supply Areas and BC cities shortcut function and to available_layers()
• bec (and other large downloadable layers) show up in the output of available_layers(), bec() works, and get_layer("bec") works so that getting downloadable datasets is indistinguishable from getting local datasets. (#32)
• Some utility functions use sf functions that have been moved to the lwgeom package. They now use the lwgeom function (Fixes CRAN CHECK NOTE; #33).
• Added new layer: bc_cities() which is a point layer of B.C.'s major cities.

bcmaps v0.16.0

• Added two new functions: raster_by_poly to overlay a SpatialPolygonsDataFrmae or sf polygons layer on a raster layer and clip the raster to each polygon, and summarize_raster_list to summarize the results of raster_to_poly

bcmaps 0.15.1

bcmaps 0.15.1

• get_layer() now only accepts characters (#31)
• Fixes bug in check_write_to_data_dir where it was not creating data directory
• Update README installation instructions so that vignettes aren't built before bcmaps.rdata is installed (#29)

bcmaps 0.15.0

bcmaps 0.15.0

• Added the ability to download Biogeoclimatic Zone map - as it was too big to
  fit in the bcmaps.rdata package, it is hosted as an asset on a GitHub release of bcmaps.rdata,
  and downloaded via the function bec(), which uses the new function get_big_data() (#28).
• Added function bec_colours() (and alias bec_colors()) to generate a vector of colours
  that match the standard colours used to colour Biogeoclimatic Zone maps.

bcmaps v0.12.0

Added wsc_drainages dataset.

bcmaps v0.11.0

• Added hydrozones dataset.

bcmaps v0.10.1

• Fixed ring self-intersctions in bc_bound_hres and airzones (#13)

bcmaps v0.10.0

Added boundaries of British Columbia's Water Management Districts and Water Management Precincts.
