nasapower 1.0.0 (unreleased)

Major changes

• nasapower is now a part of rOpenSci after
  peer-review of the code!

• Provides access to all three communities, AG, SSE and and SB, not just AG

• Uses new 'POWER' 'API' to download new 1/2 x 1/2 degree data

• Adds function get_power() to get weather data and optionally metadata as
  well

• Adds function create_met() to create 'APSIM' met objects from 'POWER' data

• Adsd function create_icasa() to create a text file of weather data for use
  in 'DSSAT' crop modelling

• Internally, replaces httr package with crul

Deprecated functions

• The get_cell and get_region functions are deprecated in favour of
  get_power(). The new POWER interface allows for the specification of single
  points or regional areas. Global coverage may be queryed for Climatology. See
  the help for ?get_power() for more details.

  download

Minor changes

• get_region() and get_cell() now default to download all weather vars

• Add a check to see if POWER website is responding before making request for
