read_municipality() has a new parameter keep_areas_operacionais, which allows users to control wether the data should keep the polygons of Lagoas dos Patos and Lagoa Mirim in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (considered as areas estaduais operacionais). The default FALSE drops these two polygons. Closes #176.cache parameter that allows users to decide whehter to keep files in cache or to force downloading them again. At the moment, files are only cached during the R session, but this is a step towards a future version of {geobr} when files will be based on permanent caching.curl::multi_download() to download files in parallelMajor changes
read_health_facilities() now has a new parameter date, which will allow users to access data for different dates of reference. The plan is to have at least one update of this data set per year. Closes #334.read_urban_area() and read_metro_area() now have a new parameter code_state, which will allow users to filter selected states. Closes #338Bug fix
data.table::rbindlist() to rind data was throwing errors when some observations were of class POLYGONS and others were MULTIPOLYGONS. This has now been replaced with dplyr::bind_rows() at a very small performance penalty. Closes #346.New data

geobr to read geopackage files, instead of .rds. A structural change that will make it easier to maintain both versions of geobr in R and Python (2020-02)tp as in data ‘type’. This argument defaults to read data sets with ‘simplified’ borders, what makes the package much more efficient for downloading and plotting the data. Closes issue #76 (2020-02)read_statistical_grid and read_census_tract. These two functions do take a really long time to load the data for the whole country and it might crash R due to memory limits, so the user must be more ‘aware’ about her choice (2020-02)Minor changes
