mapr 0.5.0

map_ggmap() is defunct. authentication has changed, more trouble than its worth (#34)

all mapping functions gain the name parameter to specify the column that holds the taxon name - if not given, we look for a column “name” (#32)

fix non-ascii strings in the two package datasets - and script added to make those datasets reproducible, including fixing non-ascii strings (#39)
remove linked references to pkgs in docs that are not imported/suggested (#38)
map_plot() speed up: using maps::map() instead of rworldmap::getMap(), faster (#35)
improve internal handling of name parameter users can pass down through mapping functions (#36)
rgbif added to Suggests - was used in examples but wasn’t in Suggests - used conditionally in examples now

mapr 0.4.0

All map_*() functions now support gbif_data class from the rgbif package, which is the output of rgbif::occ_data() (#29)
Added .github files for contributing, issue and PR templates (#30)

Note that there is a problem with map_ggmap due to a bug in ggmap. It is fixed in the ggmap dev version, so should be fixed in the CRAN version soon, hopefully.

Now in all functions, when there’s more than 1 taxon, we’ll do a separate color for each taxon and draw a legend if applicable (#21) (#22)
Added support for adding convex hulls to some of the plot types (#23) thanks to @rossmounce for the feature request
map_leaflet() now adds metadata as a popup to each marker (#18) (#25)
