Austraits v0.9.0

This is the first major release of the AusTraits database.

• austraits-0.9.1.zip: contains the compiled dataset
• source code (v0.9.0.zip): contains the source materials used to build the compiled dataset

Details on dataset structure and usage are provided in the files within the release. In particular, see readme.md and docs/Austraits_dictionary.html

The dataset was built from material available at
https://github.com/traitecoevo/austraits.build/releases/tag/v0.9.0

The release includes data accumulated until May 2019, but excluding data removed where there is ongoing restructuring or where data have not been correctly attributed.
