# ggmap 4.0.2

## Minor improvements and fixes

* Maintenance release preparing for **ggplot2** 4.0.0 (thanks @teunbrand). 
  Closes #378.



# ggmap 4.0.1

## Minor improvements and fixes

* A bug was fixed that prevented using Stamen-style watercolor maps via 
  `get_stadiamap()` after the last release (thanks @pushing-boulders, #357).



# ggmap 4.0.0

## New features

* Adds support for all styles from Stadia Maps via `get_stadiamap()` (thanks
  @ianthetechie, #351).

## Changes

* Stamen map tiles are now hosted by Stadia Maps (see http://maps.stamen.com/stadia-partnership/),
  which necessitates some breaking changes in ggmap. The existing URLs
  are expected to be shut off after October 31, 2023. This release
  renames the Stamen-related functions to Stadia equivalents 
  (ex: `get_stamenmap()` is now `get_stadiamap()`). Developers will also need to make
  some minor changes to the style names to include a `stamen_` prefix and
  convert the names to `snake_case`. For example `toner-lite` becomes
  `stamen_toner_lite`.
* Removes the toner hybrid layer group, as well as some other deprecated
  styles which were not in wide use. Stamen's Toner Hybrid can be
  recreated by layering the lines and labels on top of each other.
* Adds styles from Stadia Maps: Alidade Smooth (light and dark) and
  Outdoors.
* ggmap no longer depends on RgoogleMaps (thanks @sanjmeh, #354).



# ggmap 3.0.2

## Changes

*   Startup messages can now be suppressed



# ggmap 3.0.1

## New features

*   `geocode_cache()` is now exported to the user, and functions 
    `write_geocode_cache()` and `write_geocode_cache()` exist to facilitate 
    using the same cache across sessions.
    
## Changes

*   __ggmap__ no longer depends on __rjson__ (thanks @MichaelChirico, #317). 
*   Most functions now use **cli**-based messaging functions, following 
    **ggplot2**'s lead.

## Minor improvements and fixes

*   __ggmap__ functions can now be called even if it has not been attached to 
    the search path (loaded) (reported by @jennybc, @lorenzwalthert, #264, 
    #244).
    
*   Google functions now properly encode #'s (reported by @aaronrudkin, #272).
    
*   `get_stamenmap()` now only returns URLs if `messaging = TRUE` (Reported by
    @ikosmidis, #274). It also includes a more formal attribution to Stamen 
    Design and OpenStreetMap.
    
*   `get_stamenmap()` now supports a SSL Stamen endpoint via the `https` 
    argument (#276).

*   `mapdist()` now properly orders results (reported by @BirgerNi, #266).

*   `mapdist()` now properly returns URLs if `urlonly = TRUE`.

*   `get_map()` now (again) respects the `source = "google"` specification when 
    given a bounding box (reported by @julovi, #267).

*   `geocode()` now (again) respects the `source = "dsk"` specification 
    (reported by @alistaire47, #180).
    
*   A bug giving an error message `Error in aperm.default(map, c(2, 1, 3)) : invalid first argument, must be an array` has now been fixed. (solution by @kent37, #262).

*   `geocode()` now properly caches when geocoding several locations. The 
    caching keys are now the hash values of the scrubbed url.
