* Launch of **geobr** v1.2 on [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geobr/index.html) with the following data sets:
New data sets/functions
* data set `read_metro_area` to read official metropolitan areas - closes issue 2 (added in 2019-12).
* data set `read_municipal_seat` to read the spatial coordinates of municipal seats- closes issue 86 (added in 2019-12).
* function `lookup_muni` to look up municipality codes by their name, or the other way around. closes issue 58 (added in 2019-12)
* function `list_geobr` to list all the datasets available in geobr - Closes issue 57.
Major changes
* MAJOR change of `geobr` to read `geopackage` files, instead of `.rds`. A structural change that will make it easier to maintain both versions of geobr in R and Python (2020-02)
* All functions now have an additional argument `tp` as in data 'type'. This argument defaults to read data sets with 'simplified' borders, what makes the package much more efficient for downloading and plotting the data. Closes issue 76 (2020-02)
* Pretty much all functions now download the data for the entire country as a default. Closes issue 77. The only exceptions are `read_statistical_grid` and `read_census_tract`. These two functions do take a really long time to load the data for the whole country and it might crash R due to memory limits, so the user must be more 'aware' about her choice (2020-02)
Minor changes
* New utils.R script containing support functions to reduce code redundancy (2020-02)
