0.5.5

Fixed CRAN breakages, caused by old use of select_ and distinct_, and needless problems of sf. #50
Deprecated map_table().

Declare ‘vertex_table’ as old class for sp to keep its data frame restriction happy.
Fix order bug in creation of object_ for sf objects.
support for sf columns to spbabel and map_table

bug fix, sp recomposition for multpoint now correctly splits on object_ (rather than branch_)
bug fix, MULTIPOINT and point were getting “order_”
bug fix, POLYGON island status wasn’t recorded (redundantly) along with branch - so recomposition resulted in lines

remove dependency on sf, spbabel can decompose sf but cannot recompose. Importing sf requires too many dependencies that are not relevant to the
workflows.

new concept of “island”, as the intermediary part before a branch for MULTIPOLYGON only
added support for sf, new model based on “feature_table”
proper support for SpatialPoints in map_table

fixed bug in sp() logic that recreates a SpatialLines (it was using a Polygon under the hood)
sped up sptable by using old raster code, after generalizing to all types
new map_table method for ‘trip’ objects
workarounds for SpatialPoints, SpatialMultiPoints (removed problematic high-level use of as_tibble, which meant that points/multipoints weren’t being built properly)
use duplicated rather than distinct_, see https://github.com/mdsumner/spbabel/issues/27
semi_cascade now keeps quiet
spbabel<- replacement function now drops attributes if object and row numbers not the same

new function ‘map_table’ to produce the more general multiple-table model
branch IDs can now be factor, before this resulted in empty data.frames from split
moved to using character IDs for object, branch, vertex
added track data set
added holey data set
update to use tibble rather than dplyr data_frame
fix MultiPoints
updates for dplyr distinct(.keep_all)
extra documentation added
fix up package structure for CRAN

removed internal use of a matrix in .pointsGeom
de- and re-composition of SpatialPoints and SpatialMultiPoints now consistent with other types
re-composition of poly (object_, branch_, island_, order_), line (object_, branch_, order_), point (object_), and multipoint (object_, branch_) now differentiated simply by usage of those column names
renamed spFromTable to sp generic, spFromTable deprecated
fixed up multipoint support

removed all nesting and normalize approaches out of spbabel
removed all dplyr verb methods to spdplyr
various improvements provided by jlegewie, removed transmute_ (not needed), improved filter_ and select_, added left_join and inner_join, see https://github.com/mdsumner/spbabel/pull/10
added group_by and complementary summarize capability for Spatial
set data.frame and tbl and tbl_df as S4 compatible

committing to names object_, branch_, island_, order_, x_ and y_, and Object_ and Branch_
removed “part” terminology, in favour of “branch”
remove ptransform - maybe use reproj instead, wip
added methods for ptransform, needs tests
working on embedded tables, with disparate tables per row rather than hierarchical
added nesting for Spatial
