Breaking changes

Functions for downloading data have been renamed to follow the convention object_verb() (see https://devguide.ropensci.org/pkg_building.html):

• get_gb() -> gb_get().
• ?get_gb_adm family -> ?gb_get_adm family.
• get_gb_cgaz() -> gb_get_world(). gb_get_cgaz() is also available for backward compatibility as an alias of gb_get_world().
• get_gb_meta() -> gb_get_metadata().

Additionally, the metadata argument has been removed. Use gb_get_metadata() instead.

Other changes

• Added a DOI.
• All download functions now use .zip/.shp datasets instead of .geojson/.gpkg, removing the geojsonsf dependency from Imports.
• All download functions now return MULTIPOLYGON geometries.
• All download functions now fail gracefully when a country file is unavailable, without errors or warnings.
• All download functions now retry transient request failures with httr2::req_retry().
• Cached files from previous package versions are no longer reused because the source file format changed.
• Country matching now improves detection for Antarctica and Kosovo.
• gb_get*() functions now allow mixed country argument types, such as gb_get(country = c("Germany", "USA")).
• gb_get_adm5() was added.
• gb_get_max_adm_lvl() was added.
• gb_get_world() now gets the latest data available from the repository at https://github.com/wmgeolab/geoBoundaries/tree/main/releaseData.
