# islandcodes 0.2.0

* The `islands` dataset gains five coordinate columns (WGS84 decimal degrees): `latitude`/`longitude` (a representative point on each territory's main landmass) and `capital`/`capital_latitude`/`capital_longitude` (the capital city). Sourced from Natural Earth with a hand-curated supplement for the BES islands, French overseas departments, and other small territories; see the upstream `island-research-reference-data` for provenance.
* New `island_coords()` returns coordinates for a vector of names or ISO codes, with `which = "point"` (default) or `which = "capital"`.
* New `island_distance()` gives great-circle (haversine) distances between islands: a full symmetric matrix among one set, or element-wise/recycled distances between two. Supports `which` (point or capital) and `unit` (km, mi, nmi). Base R, no new dependencies.
* Bug fix: Namibia is no longer dropped from `islands`. Its ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is the literal string `"NA"`, which the data-build step previously treated as a missing value. The dataset now has 251 rows (was 250).

# islandcodes 0.1.1

Resubmission addressing CRAN reviewer feedback (Uwe Ligges).

* `License` field simplified to `CC BY 4.0`; the `+ file LICENSE` suffix and the accompanying boilerplate `LICENSE` file have been removed (the file was not used to specify additional restrictions on CC BY 4.0).

# islandcodes 0.1.0

Initial CRAN release.

* Bundled `islands` reference dataset: 250 countries and territories with classifications for SIDS, SNIJ, World Bank region and income group, political association, and the four small-island defining criteria.
* Predicates `is_sids()`, `is_snij()`, `is_small_island()` accept country names, ISO codes, or the hyphenated BES sub-codes (`BQ-BO`, `BQ-SE`, `BQ-SA`).
* `island_lookup()` and `add_island_cols()` for tidy joining onto research data.
* `small_islands()` shorthand for filtered subsets.
* `aruba()` — A.R.U.B.A. (Annotated Reference for Under-coded Border Areas): a convenience wrapper around `island_lookup()` with Aruba as the default. A homage to Edward Cheung's A.R.U.B.A. (ASCS/NCS Relay Unit Breaker Assembly) on the Hubble Space Telescope.
* Source data mirrored from `github.com/University-of-Aruba/island-research-reference-data` under CC BY 4.0.
