 # bcmaps 0.17.0
 * Output of `available_layers()` has changed: `shortcut_function` column is now logical, uses better column names, and has a custom print function that gives more information. (#34)
-* Add links to `combine_nr_rd()` function from `regional_districts()` and `municipalities()`. This function combines Regional Districts with the Northern Rockies Regional Municipalites to create a full provincial layer of 'Regional-District-like' polygons.

 * Added Timber Supply Areas and BC cities shortcut function and to `available_layers()`
 * `bec` (and other large downloadable layers) show up in the output of `available_layers()`, `bec()` works, and `get_layer("bec")` works so that getting downloadable datasets is indistinguishable from getting local datasets. (#32)
 * Some utility functions use `sf` functions that have been moved to the `lwgeom` package. They now use the `lwgeom` function (Fixes CRAN CHECK NOTE; #33).
