Fixed

• Advisories now issued when tropical cyclone development is anticipated, but not yet occurred, and watches and warnings need to be issued. See AL022017, AL032017.

[0.2.0-1] 2017-06-16

Added

• GIS functions gis_advisory, gis_breakpoints, gis_latest, gis_outlook, gis_prob_storm_surge, gis_windfield and gis_wsp added. These functions return one or more URLs to datasets that can be downloaded with gis_download.
• shp_to_df added to convert lines and polygons spatial dataframes to dataframes. Points dataframes can be converted using tibble::as_dataframe (target the @data object).

Changed

• load_storm_data now returns full datasets from the rrricanesdata repo including tidied fstadv data. See documentation for notes on other products. (#76)

• saffir returns Saffir-Simpson classification of tropical cyclones; abbreviated.
• twoal and twoep for Atlantic and east Pacific tropical weather outlooks.
