[R-sig-Geo] Simple features now on CRAN

[Edzer Pebesma]

Package sf (for "simple features") is now on CRAN:

https://cran.r-project.org/package=sf

The package vignette is found here:

https://edzer.github.io/sfr/articles/sfr.html

A report on CRAN submission adventures is found here:

http://r-spatial.org/r/2016/11/02/sfcran.html


This doesn't mean that the package is finished, but I believe that it is
useful already. Much of the discussion related to functionality takes
place in github issues:

https://github.com/edzer/sfr/issues

and includes discussion of raster support, dplyr compatibility, and so
on. If you're curious, or want to participate in shaping this, please
participate; contributions on this mailing list are also welcome.

Kudos go to Jeroen Ooms for the Windows port, Roger Bivand for migrating
most of the CRAN build farm to GDAL 2.0, and of course the CRAN team itself!
