Thanks for your work on this, and sorry for not being that available to help.
It'll be great to have a call and discuss how to maintain the package and adding robust unit tests.
Some notable changes are
removing dplyr it's not really needed and it's an expensive dependency
canonical is no longer a parameter and are added by default to the data (column shapeCanonical)
new release_type parameter added (gbOpen, gbHumanitarian, etc)
version parameter is deprecated
type has now just unsimplified and simplified (all hp are mapped to unsimplified and ss to simplified)
shapefiles are downloaded as zip files and are read directly using vsizip.

Let me what you think before we merge. We also need to work on the documentation and have it on Github instead of my Gitlab.
