Version 2.0.1; Released 3/4/2020
- No new boundary information in this build; technical fixes only.
- Minor fixes to zipfile builds (https://github.com/wmgeolab/gbRelease/issues/1)
- API has been rewritten in PHP to facilitate python calls.  This now works:
import requests
r = requests.get('https://www.geoboundaries.org/gbRequest.html?ISO=USA&ADM=ADM1')
r.json()
- API now supports wildcard "ALL" for ADM, ISO or both.  Requesting ALL / ALL gives you a json with download links for all data in the database.
- The website now links to this changelog.
