mapedit 0.8.0 (2026-02-15)

BREAKING CHANGE: due to the removal of leaflet.extras from CRAN, only leafpm supported as the editor.

properly flush deleted features when user deletes multiple. See issue #106.
allow mapedit to work in a loop or in sequence. See issue #83.
make behavior of selectFeatures consistent between modes "draw" and "click" when working with features with no CRS. See issue #110.

Add listener for all features and add to returned features with leaflet.extras editor. See pull #98.
Add editorOptions for better control of options in edit* and draw* functions. See pull #100 and pull #103.

add editor = "leafpm" to draw*() and edit*() functions to use the Leaflet.pm pluging for editing. Leaflet.pm provides support for creating and editing holes, snapping, and integrates better with some multi* features. Note, mapedit now offers two editors "leaflet.extras" and "leafpm", since each have advantages and disadvantages.

stopApp when session ended to handle when a user closes a browser tab or window when using viewer = browserViewer(browser = getOption("browser"))
add circleMarkerOptions for Leaflet.draw
warn when feature drawn outside of -180, 180

add drawing mode to selectFeatures to enable selection via point/line/polygon drawing. Selection will be done using any of ?geos_binary_ops; thx @tim-salabim
add CRS in edit* functions; thx @tim-salabim
add label for reference in edit* and select*
add title argument for editMap()
automatically close browser window on Shiny session end when using viewer = browserViewer(browser = getOption("browser"))

polygons of length > 1 not handled correctly. See discussion.
remove internally added edit_id column in editFeatures return
cast edits back to their original type. See discussion
fix merge_edit to only consider last edit when there are multiple edits per layerId

multiple edits and deletes resulting in multiple FeatureCollections not handled properly causing some actions to not be considered when converting to sf; thanks @tim-salabim for identifying

BREAKING editFeatures and selectFeatures add a map argument instead of platform

add editFeatures function for easy add, edit, delete with existing simple features (sf)

pass trial CRAN check

fix internal combine_list_of_sf with length 0 list; found when editFeatures() and save with no changes

add Shiny module functionality
add selectFeatures function for easy selection of features from simple features (sf)

removes circle Leaflet.draw tool by default in editMap()
use layerId instead of group for select
uses Viewer window for selectMap()
