# 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") ``` More information about the retirement of `rgdal`, `rgeos` and `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 <https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html#packages-depending-on-sp-and-raster> and <https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/12/14/evolution2.html#deprecations-in-retiring-packages> - Fixes broken data download links. Now using Amazon hosted URLs as - the primary source for downloading data - ([#48](ropensci/rnaturalearth#48), - [#64](ropensci/rnaturalearth#64)). # rnaturalearth 0.3.0 2021-10-11 - fix rnaturalearthhires installation #47 thank you Ian Taylor for #43 # rnaturalearth 0.2.0 - add to river options in ne_download() by adding to data_list_physical.csv fixing [#23](ropensci/rnaturalearth#23) - update data to new version [Natural Earth v4.1](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/blog/miscellaneous/natural-earth-v4-1-0-release-notes/) released May 2018.

NaturalEarth has recently changed hosting of data - seems that redirection works in most cases.
NVKelso asks that resources particularly those using CI point to the new addresses.
