(geography/R-rnaturalearth) updated 0.1.0 to 1.0.1
# rnaturalearth 1.0.1
# rnaturalearth 1.0.0
## Breaking changes
This is a breaking changes release that ends support to `sp` object in
favour of more modern interfaces (`sf` and `terra`). Although that
`sp` is still available on CRAN, it is no longer being actively
developed (https://geocompx.org/post/2023/rgdal-retirement/). This is
the main reason that motivated the choice to transition toward `sf`
(the default) and `terra`.
Users can choose either get an `sf` or `SpatVector` using the
`returnclass` argument:
```
ne_countries(returnclass = "sf")
ne_countries(returnclass = "sv")
```
Affected functions are `ne_countries()`, `ne_coastline()`,
`ne_states()`, `ne_load()` and `ne_download()`.
If changing the return type to `sf` creates too many problems to your
existing code, you can still convert it back to `sp` :
```
countries <- ne_countries(returnclass = "sf")
# option 1
sf::as_Spatial(countries)
# option 2
as(countries, "Spatial")
```

`maptools`: https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html
## Bugfix
- Correctly downloading and reading raster object (#96, closes#52).
# rnaturalearth 0.3.4
- This is a maintenance release that document/use the new special sentinel "\_PACKAGE".
# rnaturalearth 0.3.3
- Using `lifecycle` to indicate that support of `sp` object will be
eventually dropped. Users should now use `ne_download(returnclass =
"sf")`, instead of `ne_download(returnclass = "sp")`.
- `terra` is now included in the Imports section.
# rnaturalearth 0.3.2
- Added new maintainer and contributors ([#62](ropensci/rnaturalearth#62)).
- Using terra over raster ([#63](ropensci/rnaturalearth#63))
- See
