 nhdplusTools 0.5.2

+
+## New Functions
 - `map_nhdplus()` works much the same as `plot_nhdplus()` but creates a leaflet map rather than a static plot.
+- `get_nldi_index()` is used to call the NLDI web service to retrieve a hydrologic location.
 
 ## Improvements
 - `get_flowline_index()` and `get_waterbody_index()` units and projection handling was altered. Defaults for the `search_radius` input were changed. Coordinate reference system handling in geoprocessing now relies on the CRS of the provided points rather than the flowlines.
+- `get_nldi_basin()` now supports precise basin delineation via a logical "split" parameter as well as the option to retrieve un-simplified basin geometry.
+- All network-dependent functions in `nhdplusTools` now return a warning and NULL if the web servicee is unavailable or fails for other reasons. This is according to CRAN policy.
