Changes in version 1.2-3 (2016-04-06)

    update sp gallery, see https://edzer.github.io/sp/

    move methods from Imports: to Depends:

    improve base plot methods for SpatialGridDataFrame and \ 
SpatialPixelsDataFrame objects, see \ 
http://r-spatial.org/r/2016/03/08/plotting-spatial-grids.html for examples

    improve the graticule labels methods, see ?gridlines

    fix hole assignment for triangles, reported in \ 
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2016-March/024214.html

    as.SpatialPolygons.GridTopology drops rownames of coordinates generated, but \ 
keeps coordinate (column) names from the cellcentre.offset slot of the grid

    improve examples in over vignette.

Changes in version 1.2-2 (2016-02-05)

    method 'row.names' for 'SpatialPoints' makes unique row names, or drops them.

    add a labels method for gridlines, drawing labels under varying angle (see \ 
gridlines example)

    add coercion (“as” methods) from deldir to SpatialLines and SpatialPolygons

    migrate sp code base to github

    correct [ subsetting when i is all FALSE; report by Francois Rousseau.

    add geometry<- method for Spatial, wrapping addAttrToGeom

    addressing rbind and docs issues raised by Kent Johnson on r-sig-geo, 5 Dec 2015

    get 'row.names' of coords correctly if object is a SpatialPoints

    add non-default coercion SpatialPolygonsDataFrame to SpatialPolygons

    add comment to SpatialPolygons coerced from SpatialGrid or SpatialPixels

    coordinates method for SpatiaLines now retains rownames

Changes in version 1.2-1 (2015-10-17)

    spsample.Spatial does no longer generate objects with rownames.

    CRS gains argument doCheckCRSArgs, to allow suppression of the default checking

    coercion from Lines to SpatialPoints now drops (duplicate) rownames

    add coercion from SpatialLines* to SpatialMultiPoints*

    improve printing of SpatialMultiPoint* objects

    aggregate now passes minDimension to rgeos; explanation of aggregate \ 
extended in its vignette

    depend on rgeos version 0.3-13

    merge now accepts "row.names" or 0 for arguments by.x or by.y, for \ 
compatibility with base::merge.

    aggregate now accepts parameter minDimension, introduced for over in 1.2-0, \ 
and passes it on to over to control when features intersect; see the \ 
documentation of over and its vignette for details.

    SpatialMultiPoints objects with zero features can now exist.

Changes in version 1.2-0 (2015-09-01)

    Support for SpatialMultiPoints and SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame objects. \ 
Where SpatialPoints are set of points, SpatialMultiPoints are sets of point \ 
sets. SpatialPointsDataFrame objects bind points to attribute values, \ 
SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame bind point sets to attribute values. Methods \ 
supported are subsetting ([), plot, spplot, over, and coercion to SpatialPoints \ 
or SpatialPointsDataFrame. Functions in rgeos support this feature class. See \ 
also demo(mp).

    creating SpatialPoints objects with duplicated coordinate rownames now gives \ 
a warning, which will become an error in the future.

    Support for Google Earth or OpenStreetMap background maps in sp::plot and \ 
spplot. Maps returned by

        function GetMap in package RgoogleMaps

        function get_map in package ggmap

    are now understood by plotting functions in sp. In particular, sp::plot now \ 
has an argument bgMap, spplot now has panel functions panel.RgoogleMaps and \ 
panel.ggmap; See demo(webmap) for examples.

    As these maps assume a web mercator projection, sp::plot issues a warning if \ 
the object to be plotted have a CRS that does not contain \ 
"+init=epsg:3857"

    over methods that are taken care of by rgeos (anything involving \ 
SpatialLines, or SpatialPolygons-SpatialPolygons) gained an argument \ 
minDimension, which causes an ordering of returned features by dimension of \ 
intersection, and the ability to select a minimun dimension (e.g. only \ 
area-overlap); this uses gRelate, and has a computational cost. Documentation \ 
found in vignette("over").
