Functions that include a layer index now accept a layer name which is used to find the (0-based) layer index.
This is a breaking release, all old functions have been made defunct or removed entirely.
All C++ functions now have explicit R wrappers instead of Rcpp exports.
New naming convention uses vapour_ for vector sources, raster_ for raster sources to make function names a little more consistent.
New wrapper vapour_sds_names to replace sds_info and raster_sds_info which are now deprecated.
New wrapper vapour_read_geometry_what to replace vapour_read_feature_what which i is now deprecated.
New function vapour_read_names to return the vector of FID values.
The read for raster data now returns numeric or integer appropriately.
vapour_raster_info now includes bands as the count of available bands.
The IO read now allows a 4-element window to return data at native resolution, by copying the third and fourth values (source dimension) to the fifth and sixth values (output dimension) respectively.
Subdatasets are now supported.
Added sanity check behaviour to vapour_raster_read to avoid out of bounds read attempts.
Resampling options added to raster data read.
Upgraded to rwinlib gdal 2.2.3.
added function vapour_layer_names to return character layer names, and implicitly provide a layer count
feature iteration now avoids “GetFeatureCount” and collects each element in a growing list, thanks to Jim Hester
renamed format argument to textformat, this is ignored unless what = "text"
Created a single C++ feature read to remove repeated logic, vapour_read_geometry, vapour_read_geometry_text, and vapour_read_extent all call the same function.
