geobr - v1.9.1

Minor changes

• The read_municipality() has a new parameter keep_areas_operacionais, which allows users to control wether the data should keep the polygons of Lagoas dos Patos and Lagoa Mirim in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (considered as areas estaduais operacionais). The default FALSE drops these two polygons. Closes #176.
• Functions now include a cache parameter that allows users to decide whehter to keep files in cache or to force downloading them again. At the moment, files are only cached during the R session, but this is a step towards a future version of {geobr} when files will be based on permanent caching.
• Now using curl::multi_download() to download files in parallel
• Removed dependency on the {httr} package
• {geobr} now imports {fs} to use robust cross-platform file system operations
• Simplified and streamlined internal functions

geobr - v1.9.0

Major changes

• Function read_health_facilities() now has a new parameter date, which will allow users to access data for different dates of reference. The plan is to have at least one update of this data set per year. Closes #334.
• Functions read_urban_area() and read_metro_area() now have a new parameter code_state, which will allow users to filter selected states. Closes #338

Bug fix - Using data.table::rbindlist() to rind data was throwing errors when some observations were of class POLYGONS and others were MULTIPOLYGONS. This has now been replaced with dplyr::bind_rows() at a very small performance penalty. Closes #346.

New data - schools for 2023 - health facilities for 202303 - census tracts for 2020 and 2022

Major changes

• MAJOR change of geobr to read geopackage files, instead of .rds. A structural change that will make it easier to maintain both versions of geobr in R and Python (2020-02)

• Pretty much all functions now download the data for the entire country as a default. Closes issue #77. The only exceptions are read_statistical_grid and read_census_tract. These two functions do take a really long time to load the data for the whole country and it might crash R due to memory limits, so the user must be more 'aware' about her choice (2020-02)
