mapbaltimore 0.1.1 (2022-10-13)

I haven’t been consistent in updating versions but this is a patch update in preparation to address the issue (#3) with version control for package data and starting the deprecation process for general utility functions (#4).

Key changes since version 0.1.0.9001 include removing the dependency on {overedge}, adding new datasets (inspire_plans and schools_21stc) and updates to column names and attributes for parks, bcps_programs, bcps_zones, public_art, and surely a few others I’m missing.

• Update get_area_requests() to support 2022 requests and work w/ modified column names.
