NEW FEATURES

gains new function mvt_fetch() for fetching Map Vector Tiles (MVT). mvt used to be an option in map_fetch(), but we only returned raw bytes for that option. With mvt_fetch() we now leverage the protolite package, which parses MVT files, to give back an sf object (#373) thanks to @jeroen for the protolite work to make this work
associated with above, map_fetch() loses the format = ".mvt" option; and thus now only returns a RasterLayer
occ_issues() and name_issues() reworked. Both now use the same underlying internal logic, with occ_issues pulling metadata specfic to occurrence issues and name_issues pulling metadata specific to name issues. name_issues used to only be a data.frame of name issues, but can now be used similarly to occ_issues; you can pass the output of name_usage() to name_issues to filter/parse name results by their associated name issues. Associated with this, new function gbif_issues_lookup can be used to lookup either occurrence or name issues by their full name or code (#363) (#364)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

fix examples and tests that had WKT in the wrong winding order (#361)
parsing GBIF issues in the output of name_usage() wasn't working (#328) (#363) (#364)
name_lookup() gains an additional parameters issue for filtering name results by name issues (#335) (#363) (#364)
fixed definitions of x, y, z parameters in map_fetch() manual file (#375)
added examples to gbif_citation() manual file for accessing many citations (#379)
fixed a test for occ_download_queue() (#365)
name_* function outpus have changed, so be aware if you're using those functions

BUG FIXES

fixed issue with map_fetch(): when srs was EPSG:3857, the extent we set was incorrectly set as raster::extent(-180, 180, -85.1, 85.1). Now the extent is raster::extent(-20037508, 20037508, -20037508, 20037508 (#366) (#367) thanks @dmcglinn for reporting and @mdsumner for fixing!
fix for Windows platforms for gbif_citation() for occ_download_get objects. we weren't correctly creating the path to a file on windows (#359)
fix to print.gbif_data (#370) (#371)
occ_download() was erroring with a useless error when users try to use the fxn with the same parameter input types as occ_search/occ_data; when this happens now there is a useful error message (#381)
fix to occ_download(): when type = "in" was used, we weren't creating the JSON correctly, fixed now (#362)
