[R-sig-Geo] RQGIS release 0.2.0

["Jannes Münchow"]

Dear list members,

today we are happy to announce a new version of RQGIS! RQGIS establishes an interface between R and QGIS, i.e. it allows the user to access the more than 1000 QGIS geoalgorithms from within R. The most important news is that you can run again the most recent QGIS releases (>=2.18.2) with RQGIS without having to modify Python source code. This modification became necessary due to a bug introduced in QGIS 2.16 (see https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS#rqgis-modifications-v-216-2181). 

This release fixes also several bugs which we detected thanks to user feedback. To learn more about these, please refer to https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS/releases/tag/v0.2.0. 

For more information on RQGIS, how to install it and examples how to use RQGIS, please refer to https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS and my https://jannesm.wordpress.com/category/r/.

All the best,

Jannes
