Second version.
New C++ back-end based on the boost geometry library.
Polygon, linestring and point collections can be stored directly in C++ as BoostGeometries objects.
Implemented bg_intersects function for intersecting BoostGeometries objects.
Extraction and rasterize operations now accept sf objects.
Extraction and rasterize operations now accept line geometries.
The extract method now has a small argument similar to that of the raster::extract function.
The extract method now returns ‘raw’ raster values if argument fun is set to NULL (default).
The extract method now has a df boolean argument. If true, extract returns (a list of) data frames.
The velox function now accepts RasterBrick objects.
New as.RasterBrick method.
Added extract_points method.
