  • Drop dependency on {bcmapsdata} in favour of directly retrieving layers (where present)
    from the B.C. Data Catalogue (via {bcdata}) and storing in a local cache. Some additional
    layers are retrieved from Statistics Canada.
  • Some layers may not be identical to what was previously in {bcmaps}. For example bc_neighbours previously used data from Natural Earth. The availability of a Hi-Res B.C. boundaries over WFS from the B.C. Data Catalogue means that the layer can now be created directly by {bcmaps}.
  • Added forward sortation area (fsa), health boundaries (health_*) and some census boundaries (census_*).
  • Added ability to retrieve and cache CDED (BC Digital Elevation Model data, returning either stars or raster objects (#73)
  • Use of parallelism in functions that allow it (raster_by_poly() &
    summarize_raster_list()) is now reliant on users setting up their
    own future::plan() to specify strategy and number of workers, rather than setting
    defaults (this is the best practice according to the author of the future package @HenrikBengtsson, #69)
  • Fixed bug where errors would occur if a user's system GEOS was a development version (e.g., 3.9.0dev; #71)
