2013-05-05 (0.4-2)
* Fixed ISO codes for Kosovo (thanks to Luc Girardin).
* Adapted CShapes to the new version of the Gleditsch & Ward
  country list (changes made in March 2013). This version fixes 
  the inconsistency with the G&W list introduced in CShapes 
  version 0.2-5 (Macedonia).

2012-01-07 (0.4-1)
* Re-wrote the package to eliminate Java dependencies, which 
  causes performance issues on some systems.
* Updated GIS data to 2012: Added South Sudan, changed
  boundaries of Sudan. Note: When introducing the new ISOCODE for 
  South Sudan (728), the ISO also changed the ISOCODE for
  Sudan, from 736 to 729. We use this new code as of July 9, 2011.

2012-07-26 (0.3-2)
* Changed package maintainer in accordance with CRAN
  requirements.
* Fixed inverted ISO two- and three-letter codes for Kosovo.

2011-06-26 (0.3-1)
* Added a distlist function that returns distances
  in a dyadic format rather than a matrix.
* Dropped United Arab Republic, which is not coded in 
  G&W. The corresponding polygons have GWCODE=-1 and 
  are dropped in all computations based on G&W.

2011-05-03 (0.2-9)
* Coded Western Sahara entirely as part of Morocco
  as of August 5, 1979 (Thanks to Nils-Christian Bormann)

* Fixed wrong start date for East Timor. Deleted duplicate
  polygon for Yugoslavia. (Thanks to Andreas Tollefsen)

2010-09-15 (0.2-5)
* Fixed several unintended polygon overlaps in the
  Gleditsch & Ward coding of cshapes (for Yugoslavia 
  and its successor states). Note: in order to preserve
  the order of polygons (which were coded according to the 
  COW system) we set the G&W start date for Macedonia to the 
  COW date of April 8, 1993. (Thanks to Andreas Tollefsen)

2010-06-09 (0.2-4)
