rgbif v0.9.8

NEW FEATURES

• The GBIF API supports passing in many instances of the same
  parameter for some parameters on some routes. Previously we
  didn't support this feature, but now we do. See the
  ?many-values manual file for details. added docs to
  individual functions that support this, and added additional
  tests (#200) (#260) (#261)
• We've removed V8 dependency and replaced with C++ based
  WKT parser package wicket. We still use rgeos for some
  WKT parsing. rgbif functions that use wicket: gbif_bbox2wkt,
  gbif_wkt2bbox, check_wkt (#243)
• httr replaced with crul for HTTP reqeusts. As part of
  this change, the ... parameter was replaced in most functions
  by curlopts which expects a list. Some functions require
  a ... parameter for facet inputs, so ... is retained
  with the addition of curltops parameter. A result of this
  change is that whereas in the past parameters that were not
  defined in a function that also had a ... parameter
  would essentially silently ignore that undefined parameter,
  but with functions where ... was removed a misspelled
  or undefined parameter will cause an error with message (#256)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• moved to markdown docs (#258)
• namespacing calls to base R pkgs instead of importing them

BUG FIXES

• Fixed problem in occ_download_import() to allow import
  of csv type download in addition to darwin core archive.
  additional change to occ_download_get to add format
  attribute stating which format (#246)
• fix to occ_download_import adding fill=TRUE to
  the data.table::fread call (#257)
