+- `line_segment()` now will use `rsgeo::line_segmentize()` if available and only when the input geometry is not in geographic coordinates or does not have a CRS set as it uses euclidean distance
+  - `line_segment()` becomes an S3 generic which now has methods for `sf` and `sfc` class objects
+
 # stplanr 1.1.2  (2023-09)
 
 - Export S3 methods
