New features
All WFSs (provider, URL, version) are now listed in
inst/extdata/wfs_providers.yaml. This separation of data
and code hopefully makes it easier to manage the data and to use it
consistently in different parts of the package (e.g. actual code and
tests). Package internally, these data are parsed to an environment
wfs_providers.
get_municipalities() and get_zipcodes()
can now pass extra-arguments (...) to underlying
get_wfs_layer().
Basic testing harness is in place using testthat and
httptest.
Development related
Municipal key rda files in data dir are now saved with
compress = "bzip2" to reduce the size of the rda
files.
Decreased version number down to 0.1.0.9004 as this is a new package
now.
Decreased R version requirement to 3.5.0 as check was complaining
about the previous version number (3.5.2).
DESCRIPTION now defines knitr as the VignetteEngine for
the package.
