version 3.3

• deprecated functions removed
• bb target aspect ration added

version 3.2

• examples updated with tmap4
• deprecated some functions

version 3.1-1

• fixed minor bugs (see github)

version 3.1

• bb takes asp.limit argument which controls the maximum aspect ratio
• improved geocode_OSM when no results are found; also added argument keep.unfound
• simplify_shape now works on sfc objects and sf objects with only a geometry column

version 3.0

• stars support
• removed hardcoded proj4 shortcuts
• geocode_OSM also returns a bounding box if as.sf=TRUE

version 2.0-2

• sp-based functions marked as deprecated
• fixed bug in rev_geocode_OSM
• fixed bug in poly_to_raster

version 2.0-1

• fixed bug in poly_to_raster
• fixed smooth_map bugs related to sp/sf conversions
• fixed bug in rev_geocode_OSM

version 2.0

• tmaptools migrated from sp to sf, all functions support sf, but some still rely on sp
• bb now returns a vector instead of a matrix, similar to sf::st_bbox
• palette_explorer expanded with viridis palettes
• read_osm doens’t support vector OSM data anymore, since the osmdata package is a better alternative

version 1.2-2

• improved smooth_map

version 1.2-1

• added threshold argument to smooth_map
• fixed bug in approx_areas (all warnings now ignored when show.warnings=FALSE)
• fixed bug in simplify_shape (ms_simplify is not case sensitive)

version 1.2

• added palette_explorer

version 1.0

• first CRAN release after package split of tmap
• non-plotting functions of tmap 1.6-1 are contained in tmaptools
• added aggregate_map
• added simplify_shape
• added approx_distances, improved approx_areas, added projection_units
• added get_brewer_pal, to get and modify brewer palettes
• added bb_sp, to convert a bounding box to a SpatialPolygons object
• sf (simple features) objects supported
