date_of_last_update

Obtain the most recent change in the municipal inventory database. Most but
not all municipal mutations are made at first of january.

In Switzerland, the landscape of municipalities is changing rapidly
mainly due to mergers. The Swiss Municipal Data Merger Tool
automatically detects these mutations and maps municipalities over time, i.e. municipalities of an old state
to municipalities of a new state. This functionality is helpful when working
with datasets that are based on different spatial references. The package's idea and use
case is discussed in the following article: <doi:10.1111/spsr.12487>.
