In osrm: Interface Between R and the OpenStreetMap-Based Routing Service OSRM

osrm version 6.0.0

Major change

• use kilometers for distances in all functions and add a once-per-session message about this breaking change affecting osrmNearest(), osrmTable() and osrmIsodistance()

Fix

• return an error on input coordinates containing NA, NaN or Inf values (#141 thanks to @neon-ninja)

• bug fix in osrmTrip.
• Better error messages.

osrm version 3.1.0 (Release date: 2017-06-08)

Minor changes

• Use last version of cartography in examples
• Adaptation to the current osrm demo server (ex. gepaf arg in osrmTable).

osrm version 3.0.2 (Release date: 2017-06-08)

Minor changes

• set the grid size for computing isochrones in osrmIsochrone (more precise isopleth maps)
• fix osrmTrip

osrm version 3.0.1 (Release date: 2017-03-31)

Minor changes

• Enable changing the profile via options(osrm.profile = "name.of.the.profile")(driving is set by default).
• Small fixes and adaptations to the API (in osrmTrip mainly)

osrm version 3.0.0 (Release date: 2016-05-10)

This is a major release. Changes have been made to reflect the evolution of the OSRM routing service/engine. The backward compatibility is not ensured. The osrm package works with the version 5.0.0 of the OSRM API.

Major changes:

• osrmViaroute is suppressed, use osrmRoute with overview = FALSE instead.
• osrmViarouteGeom is replaced by osrmRoute. osrmRoute offers simplified or detailed (full) route geometry via overview parameter.
• Functions now accept sp objects and data.frames.
• Add osrmIsochrone. This function computes a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame of isochrones.
• Add osrmTrip. This function gets the travel geometry between multiple unordered points.
• Under the hood: some function now use google encoded polylines via gepaf package.

osrm version 2.0.0 (Release date: 2016-01-20)

This is a major release. Changes have been made to reflect the evolution of the OSRM routing service/engine. The backward compatibility is not ensured. The osrm package works with the version 4.9.0 of the OSRM API.

Major changes:

• Supression of osrmTableOD and osrmTableErrors
• Different parameters names and output in each functions
• XML and reshape2 packages are no longer imported

osrm version 1.1 (Release date: 2015-11-06)

Changes:

• Install instruction in README
• Add a SpatialLinesDataFrame export to the osrmViaRouteGeom
• Add the \dontrun{} instruction to all examples due to potential public API downtime and to prevent excessive use of the public API via regular checks.
