Archival data for geoBoundaries 2.0.1

Version 2.0.1; Released 3/4/2020

No new boundary information in this build; technical fixes only.
Minor fixes to zipfile builds (wmgeolab/geoBoundaries#1)
API has been rewritten in PHP to facilitate python calls. This now works: import requests r = requests.get('https://www.geoboundaries.org/gbRequest.html?ISO=USA&ADM=ADM1') r.json()
API now supports wildcard "ALL" for ADM, ISO or both. Requesting ALL / ALL gives you a json with download links for all data in the database.
The website now links to this changelog.
Version 2.0.0 ('Temerant'); Released 12/7/2019

A little late, but a big update!

New topology checks in place (Shapely)
Standardized geoJson and Shapefile builds for each ADM.
Standardized attribute tables.
Dramatically improved coverage (ADM0 and AMD 1 for 100% of countries; 79% of ADM2)
Standardization of acceptable licenses; full license checks in place.
Buildtime checks that all sources are valid and accessible.
