v0.6.1

bcmaps 0.6.1

• fix_self_intersect has been renamed to fix_geo_problems (but kept as an alias for now)
• fix_geo_problems can often also fix orphaned holes in addition to self-intersections.

bcmaps v0.6.0

• Added watersheds dataset (#15, @markjohnsonubc)
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

v0.5.0

Added two new functions to create and work with SpatailPolygonsDataFrames with nested data frames:

• self_union performs a union on a single SpatialPolygons* object to take into account overlaps. Polygon attributes are combined in a nested dataframe.
• get_poly_attribute allows you to easily parse a nested data frame column (created by self_union) to extract or calculate the attributes you want

v0.4.0

Added a couple of convenience functions:

• transform_bc_albers() transforms a Spatial object to BC Albers projection
• fix_self_intersect() checks for and repairs self-intersecting polygons

v0.3.0

Added 3 Natural Resource layers (areas, regions and districts)
