OSMscale 0.5.19

• sp dependency moved to sf
• Readme improved, News reformatted
• scaleBar: bug from last update for large abslen values (relative to plot) fixed
• earthDist: almost.equal slow for vectorized calling, equality testing replaced with fast code
• maxEarthDist: generalized to take any function, can be applied to each point separately (= new default)

OSMscale 0.5.1 (2017-04-12)

• earthDist: bug (overeager testing) fixed for coordinates close to each other
• earthDist: now formally tested with testthat + sped up significantly
• pointsMap: margins left as set in the function
• option to turn off tracing removed (tracing is now fast anyways)
• installation instructions in readme greatly improved
• New function: maxEarthDist
• For all changes, see: https://github.com/brry/OSMscale/compare/master@{2017-01-18}...master@{2017-04-12}#files_bucket

OSMscale 0.4.1 (2017-01-19)

• scaleBar default choices improved
• pointsMap remowes margins before plotting and has proj argument instead of utm
• earthDist can now compute distance relative to any of the coordinate pairs
• numerical inaccuracies in earthDist captured

OSMscale 0.3.5 (2016-09-21)

• do.call(scaleBar, ...) computing time in pointsMap removed
• API unified to function(lat, long, data, ...)
• scaleBar: automatic abslen and ndiv selection greatly improved
• tracing of errors is simplified through berryFunctions::traceCall()
• pointsMap can now handle a single coordinate location
• projectPoints can now return the spTransform output
• documentation and a few defaults have been improved

OSMscale 0.2.9 (2016-08-21)

• first release on CRAN
• Detailed changes at https://github.com/brry/OSMscale/commits/master
• documentation (examples + github readme) expanded + improved
• scaleBar automatic length selection improved and abslen unit bug corected
• projectPoints can now handle datasets with NAs
• pointsMap: argument scale can now be a list of arguments
• new functions: degree, earthDist, checkLL
• new projection functions: putm, posm, pll
• moved here from berryFunctions: equidistPoints, randomPoints, triangleArea

OSMscale 0.2.1

• second stable release
• suppress warning from openmap
• scalebar type="bar" added
• argument rearranged and names changed sometimes
• now prints progress messages

OSMscale 0.1.7

• first stable release with 3 functions: pointsMap, projectPoints, scaleBar
• Can download openstreetmap background map for a data.frame with points,
• project those (and the map itself) to UTM (or any other projection),
• draws accurate scalebars even in the default OSM mercator projection (currently minimalistic in design)
