helminthR - hello worm

This is the first release where the package no longer queries the London Natural History Museum. The data are now hosted within the package, such that this package is now less about programmatic access, and more about creating a versioned data product, where each release will correspond to data updates, and these release notes will detail progress towards augmenting, correcting, and georeferencing these wormy data.

helminthR - Fixing vignette issues

Some notes/warnings thrown from vignette build of previous version. "It seems that we (Brian Ripley) need(ed) to remind me of the CRAN policy". So it's fixed, I think.

helminthR - Minor bug fix and dependency removal

ggmap was used previously to geocode the locations in the listLocations function of helminthR. The ability to do this now requires an API key. In order to make the package a bit leaner, I opted to remove this dependency, and use a cached copy of the geocoded data (data(locations)).

I also tweaked the cleanData function, as it was only removing genus level records if the name ended in "sp.", ignoring the ones that ended in "spp.". This is fixed for both host and parasite species now.
