## basemaps 0.1.1
Minor improvements 

**Bugs:**

* fixed http protocol issue with `map_service="osm"`, `map_type="topographic"`
* merged PR #35 addressing an issue with the tile ordering of `map_service="esri"`, `map_type="natgeo_world_map"`

<br>

## basemaps 0.1.0
Decreasing dependencies, minor improvements 

**Features:**

* added additional map types `aquarelle_dark` and `aquarelle_vivid` for `map_service="maptiler"` (#32)
* added the function `add_maptypes` allowing the user to add map types on their own (see `?add_maptypes` for details)
* added the functions `save_maptypes` and `load_maptypes` to save and load map types (see `?save_maptypes` for details)

**Bugs:**

* fixed faulty request format resulting in 404 error for `map_service = "maptiler"`, `map_type = "aquarelle"` (issue #32)

**Changes:**

* updated partly outdated documentation examples
* updated `README` to include an animated map type preview
* changed the way raster tiles are geo-located and mosaiced
* tidied up the dependency tree, removed two dependencies

## basemaps 0.0.8
New map service *Maptiler*, minor improvements

**Features:**

* added Maptiler support (`map_service="maptiler"`) for many new map types from https://maptiler.com (free token required), including `"aquarelle"`, `"backdrop"`, `"basic"`, `"bright"`, `"dataviz"`, `"landscape"`, `"ocean"`, `"outdoor"`, `"satellite"`, `"streets"`, `"toner"`, `"topo"` and `"winter"` (see `get_maptypes()`)

**Bugs:**

* Resolves 404 HTTP error when using `map_service="osm_stamen"`, `map_type="watercolor"` (#31, #30, thanks to @pushing-boulders for the PR)
* fixes an issue remarked in #29 that produces to much verbosity

<br>

## basemaps 0.0.7
Minor improvements

**Changes:**

* maps rendered using `basemap_ggplot` or `basemap_gglayer` or objects plotted using `gg_raster` are now displayed with all pixels by default (full resolution, `maxpixels` argument) instead of rendering in a lower resolution (previous default: `500000`).
* switched from using `aes_string` to `aes` in `gg_raster` due to deprectation of the function in `ggplot2`.

<br>


***

## basemaps 0.0.6
Major improvements, adding new map services

**Bugs:**

* Fixing an issue with maps appearing blurred/of low resolution when using `basemap_ggplot` or `basemap_gglayer`. Maps should now show up with consistent resolutions across plot/viewing methods.
* Fixing a bug from upstream causing maps to not get mosaiced correctly
* Fixing `grDevices` display bug when `NA`s are in map imagery

**Changes:**

* `gg_raster` now accepts `interpolate`, a logical argument to control smoothing of the plotted raster.
* added Stadia Maps support for `osm_stamen` maps: Due to changes by Stamen, you now need a map token from https://stadiamaps.com (free registration) for Stamen maps.
* added Stadia Maps as new map service `osm_stadia` (requires map token from https://stadiamaps.com)

## basemaps 0.0.5
Added `gg_raster` and `basemap_terra`

**Features:**

* added `basemap_terra` to output maps as class `SpatRaster` from package `terra`
* added `gg_raster`, a function that plots objects of class `RasterLayer`, `RasterBrick` or `{RasterStack` as `ggplot2`

**Changes:**

* included `terra` as *Imports* dependency
* replaced internal calls to `raster` functions with equivalent functions of its successor `terra`
* moved `raster` from *Imports* to *Suggests*, as it has been internally replaced by its successor `terra`
* moved `stars` from *Imports* to *Suggests*
* changed default value of argument `class` to `basemap()` to `plot` for being more user-friendly to users not familiar with spatial classes

## basemaps 0.0.4
Updated help, bug fixes.

**Bugs:**

* dropped defunct/not maintained tile servers (OSM) from map services list
* fixing a bug (`"dimensions of e1 and e2 do not match"`) when trying to build a map from `map_service="mapbox"` and `map_type="terrain"` with newer versions of `stars`
* added a handling to fix a plotting bug for cases in which maps returned by tile servers (for whatever reasons) consist of only a single value (e.g. 0) for the given query extent ([#9](https://github.com/16EAGLE/basemaps/issues/9))
* fixed a bug placing cached maps in the wrong directory when `map_dir` is defined by the user ([#11](https://github.com/16EAGLE/basemaps/issues/11))
* cached maps stored in other directories than the currently set `map_dir` are now disregarded to avoid path errors when switching map directories during a session ([#11](https://github.com/16EAGLE/basemaps/issues/11))

**Features:**

* added `flush_cache`, a function that flushes the cache and thereby removes all previously queried and/or composited products from the map directories (temporary or user-defined using the argument `map_dir`) used during the current session.

<br>

## basemaps 0.0.3
Minor improvements.

**Features:**

* added CRS warning in response to issues such as #3, #7
* added dpi argument, passing down input to png::writePNG (issue #5)

<br>

***

## basemaps 0.0.2
Bug fixes.

**Fixed bugs:**

* added minimum version requirement for dependency `stars` (>= 0.5.0) to make sure that `st_set_bbox` is exported (see issue #3)

<br>

***

## basemaps 0.0.1
Initial release.

**New functions:**

* `get_maptypes()` returns every supported map service and map type that can be used as input to the `map_service` and `map_type` arguments of `set_defaults()`, `basemap()` or associated functions.
* `draw_ext()` lets you draw an extent on an interactive map.
* `set_defaults()`, `get_defaults()` and `reset_defaults()` set, get or reset the defaults of all map arguments passed to `basemap()` or associated functions.
* `basemap()` and its aliases `basemap_raster()`, `basemap_stars()`, `basemap_mapview()`, `basemap_plot()`, `basemap_ggplot()`, `basemap_gglayer()`, `basemap_magick()`, `basemap_png()` and `basemap_geotif()` (down)load and cache a basemap of a defined extent `ext`, `map_service` and `map_type` and return it as an object of the defined class.

**New features:**

* Everything.
