  Please replace all existing usages, i.e. theme(plotMargin=margin(..)) and elementText(margin=margin(..))
  
  with a list or with just a number:

  • a number or list of one number - the same margin it applied to all four sides;
  • a list of two numbers - the first margin applies to the top and bottom, the second - to the left and right;
  • a list of three numbers - the first margin applies to the top, the second - to the right and left,
    the third - to the bottom;
  • a list of four numbers - the margins are applied to the top, right, bottom and left in that order.

  See: example notebook.

• Geotools: migrate to v30 [#217].
  
  [BREAKING] GeoTools v30 and up is not backward compatible with v29 and below due to

Changed

• If layer transparency is set via the alpha-channel in the colors RGBA specification and via the alpha aesthetic,
