Changes in version 1.1.6 (2026-01-24)                  

  - reword-countries.txt and country_names.txt were updated and fixed
    (by @sjevelazco; 274).
  - Migrated from {qs} to {qs2} package. Updated
    bdc_standardize_datasets() to use qs2::qs_save() and qs2::qs_read()
    instead of qs::qsave() and qs::qread(). The format option has been
    changed from "qs" to "qs2" and file extensions from .qs to .qs2.

                 Changes in version 1.1.5 (2024-12-17)                  

  - Move {doParallel} from Suggests to Imports (Thanks, @black-snow; PR
    #251).
  - Minor adjustments in bdc_correct_coordinates for improved
    functionality.
  - Debugged bdc_quick_map: updated dependency handling for the dplyr
    package.
  - Enhanced bdc_country_standardize function: added an internal
    function to improve country name checking and standardization.
  - Deprecated rgnarspser lifecycle. Added a tutorial on the bdc website
    (https://brunobrr.github.io/bdc/articles/help/installing_gnparser.html)
    with installation instructions for gnparser on macOS, Windows, and
    Linux.
  - Updated bdc_parse_names documentation for clarity.
  - Updated bdc_create_figures: removed outdated dependencies (sp,
    rgeos), debugged functionality, and added a new "hex" argument.

                 Changes in version 1.1.4 (2023-03-13)                  

  - Adaptation of the databases to the latest version of {taxadb}
    (0.2.0), temporarily discontinuing the tpl, fb and iucn databases
    (see here).

  - bdc_query_names_taxadb() now informs the database provider and its
    version and does not create Output directory when
    export_accepted=FALSE.

                        Changes in version 1.1.3                        

  - bdc_standardize_datasets now throws an error when dataset names
    defined in the metadata file are not unique.

  - Fix minor bug in bdc_coordinates_country_inconsistent()
    (see: 5c4e0aa).

  - {countrycode} and {rangeBuilder} dependencies were removed. Country
    names now are derived from Stefan Gabos repository following the
    ISO 3166-1 standard.

  - Add messages when no data is available to create figures and report
  - bdc_coordinates_from_locality: adding an error message when there is
    no column named locality
