Version 6.0.0 ('Modeg'); Released 9/14/23
Issues: 64 issues closed, covering a wide range of improvements to the dataset.
New API: Our old (gbRequest.html) API will be fully deprecated soon, after a year of live testing of the updated API. Future requests should take the following format:
https://www.geoboundaries.org/api/current/gbOpen/[3-LETTER-ISO-CODE]/[ADM-LEVEL]/
More information can be found at https://www.geoboundaries.org/api.html.
Updated R Package: With the update of our API, the original R package for geoBoundaries will stop functioning. As we could not get in touch with the previous maintainer, we have forked the package and updated it accordingly. We will begin work to get it integrated into CRAN in the near future, as well as update some other pieces of the library (documentation, capabilities, and a few other pieces). A huge thanks to the original authors, as we wouldn't have explored R without your encouragement; if anyone is interested in contributing to this effort, we would be very excited to have you (as we mostly use python over here!).
CGAZ Updates: We have done another pass at updating the CGAZ product, which should generally have more consistent attribute information now.
More Regular Builds: We're making big strides towards getting more regular builds, to reduce the time between when a PR is accepted and the introduction of the data into the final dataset. Our average cadence is about once a week, today, and we hope to get to a consistent nightly cadence soon!
