To make the package check more robust with respect to missing/failing data access, the vignettes are frozen, all tests and examples using example data are skipped on CRAN

Exact matches in match_osm_name() are returned before partial matches.
Bug returning county boundary instead of city boundary was fixed.
Bug for river with no crossings was fixed. Delineation fails with informative error.
Code chunk with OSM data retrieval was disabled in getting started vignette.
get_osm_buildings() does not error when given bounding box as input.
STAC asset URL retrieval test fails gracefully on unsuccessful HTTP request.
Suppress warning in wrong city name test.

OSM river surface retrieval was moved to a separate function.
Small rivers for which OSM river surface is not available can still be delineated.

Package-level documentation has been added.
Assertions using the checkmate package were added to input parameters throughout the package.
Examples were expanded to demonstrates the use of all parameters.
Delineated valley has been added to the bucharest_dambovita example package data.

Classes of input parameters and return values were specified.
get_osm_example_data() and get_dem_example_data() fail gracefully in examples, vignettes and tests, that is, return a message and NULL, if internet resource is not available.

Replaced sapply() with vapply() throughout the package for improved type safety.
Updated package metadata in DESCRIPTION and codemeta.json
Organized function reference page into meaningful sections.

check_cache() is only run when the package is attached, not when it is loaded to avoid namespace issues.

Tests retrieving DEM data from AWS have been either removed or mocked to avoid issues with the AWS API.
Warnings in delineation tests are safely suppressed.

The default cache directory has been moved to the path given by tools::R_user_dir(). Checks for the cache directory size and outdated files are now included on package load.
Tests in test-delineate.R and test-osmdata.R have been partly rewritten, so that they use less resources and they complete in a reasonable amount of time.
