It's now GSHHG and has a different URL: https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pwessel/gshhg/

Thanks for noticing. Has the data itself changed enough to warrant updating our packaged version?

It looks as though the main difference is that GSHHG includes rivers and political boundaries. The README also lists some changes to small islands and lakes.

Ok, so I am guessing that they just simply merged the GSSH and GMT data into one dataset, which are both used by Basemap anyway. So we can probably just limit this to a documentation change as you have here. Thanks!
