sorvi 0.8.22

BUG FIXES

• Fixed function argument type in get_municipalities() - now it actually affects the class of the returned object! New default object type is sf and other options are tibble and data.frame
• Fixed Loimaan mlk / Loimaa lk and Metsämaa division / merger information in the datasets sorvi::kunnat1865_2021 and sorvi::polygons1909_2009

sorvi 0.8.21 (2023-08-22)

NEW FEATURES

• Experimental new features of the package for testing R functions and datasets related to mapping Finnish historical municipality maps:
• New experimental function: get_municipalities(), for mapping historical Finnish municipalities. year argument can be given to filter out the correct selection of municipalities for that given year.
• New experimental datasets: sorvi::kunnat1865_2021 and sorvi::polygons1909_2009, containing the needed data for get_municipalities() function
• Raw data courtesy of National Semantic Web Ontology Project in Finland (FinnONTO), a project by Semantic Computing Research Group. Raw data was downloaded from the Finnish Ontology Library Service ONKI (description in SeCo website).
