Changes in version 0.8.22

    actually affects the class of the returned object! New default
    object type is sf and other options are tibble and data.frame

    information in the datasets sorvi::kunnat1865_2021 and
    sorvi::polygons1909_2009

NEW FEATURES

  - Experimental new features of the package for testing R functions and

    year.
