• fixed minor bugs (see github)

tmaptools 3.1 (2020-07-01)

• bb takes asp.limit argument which controls the maximum aspect ratio
• improved geocode_OSM when no results are found; also added argument keep.unfound
• simplify_shape now works on sfc objects and sf objects with only a geometry column

tmaptools 3.0 (2020-03-30)

• stars support
• removed hardcoded proj4 shortcuts
• geocode_OSM also returns a bounding box if as.sf=TRUE

tmaptools 2.0-2 (2019-07-18)

• sp-based functions marked as deprecated
• fixed bug in rev_geocode_OSM
• fixed bug in poly_to_raster

tmaptools 2.0-1 (2018-08-07)

• fixed bug in poly_to_raster
• fixed smooth_map bugs related to sp/sf conversions
• fixed bug in rev_geocode_OSM

tmaptools 2.0 (2018-07-14)

• tmaptools migrated from sp to sf, all functions support sf, but some still rely on sp
• bb now returns a vector instead of a matrix, similar to sf::st_bbox
• palette_explorer expanded with viridis palettes
• read_osm doens't support vector OSM data anymore, since the osmdata package is a better alternative

tmaptools 1.2-1 (2017-05-11)

• added threshold argument to smooth_map

• added palette_explorer

tmaptools 1.0 (2017-01-03)

• first CRAN release after package split of tmap

• added aggregate_map
• added simplify_shape
• added approx_distances, improved approx_areas, added projection_units
• added get_brewer_pal, to get and modify brewer palettes
• added bb_sp, to convert a bounding box to a SpatialPolygons object
