This is a small bugfix release to address the missing copyright / credits for our new splash screen and to update supporting documentation. The spanish translation was also updated.
This is a new major release. Building on the foundation of QGIS 1.x.x releases, QGIS Dufour introduces many new features, improvements and bug fixes. Here is a summary of some of the key new features.
- We have updated out icon theme to use the 'GIS' theme which introduces an improved level of consistency and professionalism to the QGIS user interface.
- The new symbol layer overview uses a clear, tree-structured layout which allows for easy and fast access to all symbol layers.
- QGIS 2.0 now includes Oracle Spatial support.
- With the new data defined properties, it is possible to control symbol type, size, color, rotation, and many other properties through feature attributes.
- You can now place html elements onto your map.
- Having nicely aligned map items is critical to making nice printed maps. Auto snapping lines have been added to allow for easy composer object alignment by simply dragging an object close to another.
- Sometimes you need to align objects a curtain distance on the composer. With the new manual snapping lines you are able to add manual snap lines which allow for better align objects using a common alignment. Simply drag from the top or side ruler to add new guide line.
- Ever needed to generate a map series? Of course you have. The composer now includes built in map series generation using the atlas feature. Coverage layers can be points, lines, polygons, and the current feature attribute data is available in labels for on the fly value replacement.
- A single composer window can now contain more then one page.
- The composer label item in 1.8 was quite limited and only allowed a single token $CURRENT_DATE to be used. In 2.0 full expression support has been added too greater power and control of the final labels.
- The map frame now contains the ability to show the extents of another map and will update when moved. Using this with the atlas generation feature now core in the composer allows for some slick map generation. Overview frame style uses the same styling as a normal map polygon object so your creativity is never restricted.
- Layer blending makes it possible to combine layers in new and exciting ways. While in older versions, all you could do was to make the layer transparent, you can now choose between much more advanced options such as "multiply", "darken only", and many more. Blending can be used in the normal map view as well as in print composer.
- HTML support has been added map composer label item to give you even more control over your final maps. HTML labels support full css styles sheets, html, and even JavaScript if you are that way inclined.
- The labeling system has been totally overhauled - it now includes many new features such as drop shadows, 'highway shields', many more data bound options, and various performance enhancements. We are slowly doing away with the 'old labels' system, although you will still find that functionality available for this release, you should expect that it will disappear in a follow up release.
- The full power of normal label and rule expressions can now be used for label properties. Nearly every property can be defined with an expression or field value giving you more control over the label result. Expressions can refer to a field (e.g. set the font size to the value of the field 'font') or can include more complex logic. Examples of bindable properties include: Font, Size, Style and Buffer size.
- With the expression engine being used more and more though out QGIS to allow for things like expression based labels and symbol, many more functions have been added to the expression builder and are all accessible though the expression builder. All functions include comprehensive help and usage guides for ease of use.
- If the expression engine doesn't have the function that you need. Not to worry. New functions can be added via a plugin using a simple Python API.
- The Python API has been revamped to allow for a more cleaner, more pythonic, programming experience. The QGIS 2.0 API uses SIP V2 which removes the messy toString(), toInt() logic that was needed when working with values. Types are now converted into native Python types making for a much nicer API. Attributes access is now done on the feature itself using a simple key lookup, no more index lookup and attribute maps. **Note:*- Most plugins written for QGIS < 1.x will need to be ported to work correctly in QGIS 2.x. Please consult https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Python_plugin_API_changes_from_18_to_20 for more details.
- The raster data provider system has been completely overhauled. One of the best new features stemming from this work is the ability to 'Layer -> Save As...' to save any raster layer as a new layer. In the process you can clip, resample, and reproject the layer to a new Coordinate Reference System. You can also save a raster layer as a rendered image so if you for example have single band raster that you have applied a color palette to, you can save the rendered layer out to a georeferenced RGB layer.
- There are many, many more new features in QGIS 2.0 - we invite you to explore the software and discover them all!
This is a new feature release. Building on the foundation of QGIS 1.7.x releases, Lisboa introduces many new features, improvements and bug fixes. Here is a summary of some of the key new features.
- QGIS Browser - a stand alone app and a new panel in QGIS. The browser lets you easily navigate your file system and connection based (PostGIS, WFS etc.) datasets, preview them and drag and drop items into the canvas.
- DB Manager - the DB manager is now officially part of QGIS core. You can drag layers from the QGIS Browser into DB Manager and it will import your layer into your spatial database. Drag and drop tables between spatial databases and they will get imported. You can use the DB Manager to execute SQL queries against your spatial database and then view the spatial output for queries by adding the results to QGIS as a query layer.
- Action Tool - now there is a tool on the map tools toolbar that will allow you to click on a vector feature and execute an action.
- MSSQL Spatial Support - you can now connect to your Microsoft SQL Server spatial databases using QGIS.
- Customization - allows setting up simplified QGIS interface by hiding various components of main window and widgets in dialogs.
- New symbol layer types - Line Pattern Fill, Point Pattern fill
- Composers - have multiple lines on legend items using a specified character
- Expression based labeling

Please note that this is a release in our 'cutting edge' release series. As such it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x and QGIS 1.3.0. If an unchanging user interface, programmatic API and long term support is more important to you then cool new and untested features, we recommend that you use a copy of QGIS from our Long Term Support (LTS)1.0.x release series. In all other cases we recommend that you use this version.
This release includes around 200 bug fixes, nearly 30 new features and has had a lot of love and attention poured into it to take our favorite desktop GIS application another step on the road to GIS nirvana! So much has happened in the 3 months since our last release that it is impossible to document everything here. Instead we will just highlight a couple of important new features for you.
Probably the biggest new feature is the addition of the new vector symbology infrastructure. This is provided alongside the old implementation - you can switch using a button in the vector layer properties dialog. It doesn't replace the old symbology implementation completely yet because there are various isues that need to be resolved and a large amount of testinhen it is considered ready.
QGIS now has a field calculator, accessible via a button in the attribute section of the vector properties, and from the attribute table user interface. You can use feature length, feature area, string concatenation and type conversions in the field calculator, as well as field values.
The map composer has had a lot of attention. A grid can now be added to composer maps. Composer maps can now be rotated in the layout. The limitation of a single map layout per project has been removed. A new composer manager dialog has been added to manage the existing composer instances. The composer widget property sheets have been completely overhauled to use less screen space
Various parts of the user interface have been overhauled with the goal of improving consistency and to improve support for netbooks and other smaller screen devices. Loading and saving of shortcuts. Position can now be displayed as Degrees, Minutes, Seconds in the status bar. The add, move and delete vertex buttons are now removed and the node tool is moved from the advanced editing toolbar to the standard editing toolbar. The identification tool has also undergone numerous improvements.
A render caching capability has been added to QGIS. This speeds up common operations such as layer re-ordering, changing symbology, WMS / WFS client, hiding / showing layers and opens the door for future enhancements such as threaded rendering and pre-compositing layer cache manipulation. Note that it is disabled by default, and can be enabled in the options dialog.
User defined SVG search paths are now added to the options dialog.
When creating a new shapefile, you can now specify its CRS. Also the avoid intersections option for polygons is now also possible with background layers.
For power users, you can now create customizable attribute forms using Qt Designer dialog UIs.
This release includes over 30 bug fixes and several useful new features:
- new OSM style files.
- new icons.
- dialog text updated and completed.
- "Saving OSM into file" functionality was improvements.
- fixed some problems with encoding... ascii to utf-8.
- all OSM layers are automatically removed after disabling OSM plugin in plugin manager.
- other OSM related bugfixes.
- Marker size is now configurable when editing a layer.
- Incorporation of the analysis library into the mainstream release.
- Identify features across multiple layers.
- Added a new plugin for carrying out raster terrain analysis (computing slope aspect, steepness etc).
- A reshape tool to apply to line/polygon geometries. The part of a geometry between the first and last intersection of the reshape line will be replaced.
- Added snapping to current layer in measure dialog.
- Added ability to select the primary key for views.
- Zoom to a coordinate by entering it in the status bar coordinate display.
Please note that this is a release in our 'cutting edge' release series. As such it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x. If stability and long term support is more important to you then cool new and untested features, we recommend that you use a copy of QGIS from our stable 1.0.x release series. This release includes over 140 bug fixes and enhancements over the QGIS 1.1.0 release. In addition we have added the following new features:
Editing functionality in QGIS has had a major update in this release. This includes the addition of new vector editing tools:
- delete part of multipart feature
- delete hole from polygon
- simplify feature
- Added a new "node" tool (in advanced digitizing toolbar).
- New functionality for merging features
- Added undo/redo functionality for vector layer editing.
- Added option to show only markers of selected features in editing mode.
- Change layer's icon in legend to reflext that the layer is editable.
In addition, there are undo/redo actions in Edit menu, in Advanced digitizing toolbar and there is a new dock widget displaying undo stack of active layer.
About the node tool: It resembles a tool for editing paths by nodes that is present in every vector editor. How does it work (in QGIS)? Click on a feature, its nodes will be marked by small rectangles. Clicking and dragging a node moves it. Double clicking a segment will add a new node. Pressing delete key will remove active node. It's possible to select more active nodes at once: by clicking and dragging a rectangle. It's possible to select a segment's adjacent nodes by clicking on the segment. It's possible to add/remove active nodes by using Ctrl when clicking a node or dragging a rectangle
We recommend that you turn off vertex markers in QGIS options when working with this tool: the redraws are much faster and the map is not cluttered with markers.
New feature: configure shortcuts for actions within main window of qgis! See menu Setting->Configure shortcuts
It is now possible to lock/unlock composer item positions by right mouse click. The width and height of the composer map will now remain fixed if user sets the composer map extent to the map canvas extent. possibility to display current date in composer label by typing (d 'June' yyyy) or similar. It is now possible to keep the current layers in a composer map even if further layers are added to the main map. Export to PDF in composer is now possible.
It is now possible to search the attribute table within selected records only. General speedups have been made on the attribute table. Setting of field width and precision when adding attributes is now possible. Handling of attribute types in WFS provider has bee improved.
Attribute aliases for vector layers are now available. The aliases are shown instead of the original field names in the info tool and attribute table to make things easier for end users. There is now a GUI for setting edit widgets for layer attributes. A new dialog allows loading a value map from a layer (could be non-spatial table too!). The edit widgets settings will also now be respected in the attribute table.
- The order of layers in the WMS dialog can now be changed.
- The eVis plugin, version 1.1.0, has been added to the QGIS project and included as a standard plugin. More information about eVis can be found here: http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/evis/documentation.php .
- The interpolation plugin now has the ability to use line layers as constrains for triangulation in interpolation plugin. You can also now save the triangulation to shape file.
- An new OpenStreetMap provider and plugin have been added to QGIS.
QGIS now includes support for project relative position of file data sources and svgs. The saving of relative paths of file data sources is optional.
You can now select the SSL mode when adding a new DB connection. Turning off SSL encryption can greatly improve performance of PostGIS data loading where connection security is not required. Support has been added for more native types and for setting of column comments.
- allow refresh of symbols via popup menu on the renderer's symbol selection
- add support for data defined symbols
- add support for font symbol markers (only data defined - no gui yet)
- add symbol size in map units (ie. symbols that keep the size in mapunits independent of the mapscale)
Added command line argument support on windows. Enhancement of command line arguments:
- allow given snapshot sizes
- allow suppression of splash screen
- capture map decorations from plugins on snapshots
There is a new GRASS shell. Also there have been many cleanups and consistency updates.
Please note that this is a release in our 'unstable' release series. As such it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x. If stability and long term support is more important to you then cool new and untested features, we recommend that you use a copy of QGIS from our stable 1.0.x release series.

- 2004-12-19 [timlinux] 0.6.0rc2 Added Slovak translation from Lubos Balazovic Massive documentation updates Updates to developer pictures and the about box
- 2004-12-19 [mhugent] providers/ogr/qgsshapefileprovider.cpp: fix for attribute problem in ogr provider
- 2004-12-05 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc2 Fixed bug 1079392 that caused QGIS to crash when a query was entered that resulted in the layer being created with no records. Additional validation of the SQL query was added to the query builder. When OK is clicked on the builder dialog, the query is sent to the database and the result checked to ensure that it will create a valid PostreSQL layer. Added tr to a number of strings that weren't prepared for translation in the vector dialog properties code Created QgsDataSourceURI structure to hold all the pertinent information associated with a PostgreSQL layer connection, including host, database, table, geometry column, username, password, port, and sql where clause.
- 2004-12-03 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc1 Commented out excessive debug statements in the postgres provider
- 2004-12-03 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc1 Changing the SQL query for a PostgreSQL layer using the query builder from the vector layer properties dialog now properly updates the mapcanvas extents and feature count. Fix for crash in pg buffer plugin (bug 1077412). Crash is due to the addition of sql where clause support in the postgres provider. The provider was not checking to see if a sql key was included in the datasource uri and thus copying the entire URI as the where clause. The .shp extension is now added the new vector layer name (if not specified by the user). The .qgs extension is now added to a project file when using save or save as (if not specified by the user).
- 2004-12-01 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel30 Added functions to qgsdataprovider.h to support updating the feature count and extents. To be supported, these functions must be implemented in the data provider implementation. The default implementations don't do anything useful.
- QgsVectorLayer now has functions for requesting feature count, extent update, and the subset defintiion string (usually sql) from the underlying data provider. Providers do not need to implement these functions unless they want to support subsetting the layer via a layer definition query or other means.
2004-11-27 [larsl] 0.5.0devel30 Fixed feature addition in GPX layers, it now works again
2004-11-22 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel29 QgsProject properties now re-designed to be similar to QSettings
2004-11-20 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel28 Added the capability to interrupt the rendering of the currently drawing map layer by pressing the escape key. Repeat and rinse to interrupt drawing of all vector layers. Not implemented for raster layers yet.
2004-11-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel27 First pass at a PostgreSQL query builder. This is not entirely functional yet. Fields for a table are displayed and sample or all values can be displayed. Double-clicking on a field name or sample value pastes it into the sql query box at the current cursor position. The test function is not implemented yet nor is the type checking to allow auto quoting of text values in the sql statement.
2004-11-19 [mcoletti] 0.5.devel26 Changed QgsProject properties interface to be more similar to QSettings. New properties are emitted to file. There is a known bug with QStringLists in that thre're redundant copies written to the file. New properties aren't read yet. Will be adding code for that over next couple days.
2004-11-17 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel25 Added a little checkbox to the bottom right of status bar that when checked will suppress rendering of layers in main canvas and overview canvas, This is useful if you want to load a bunch of layers and tweak their symbology etc without having delays caused by rerendering everything after each change you make.
2004-11-16 [larsl] 0.5.0devel24 Reimplemented nextFeature() so features are visible again
2004-11-13 [larsl] 0.5.0devel23 Changed QgsIdentifyResults and QgsVectorLayer to show all attributes automatically (expand the feature node) if only one feature is identified
2004-11-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel22 Added ifdef's for WIN32 around dynamic_casts in the vector renderer dialogs. Even though rtti is enabled, use of dynamic casts causes seg faults under WIN32.
2004-11-09 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel21 Added options to graticule builder to allow you to define origin and endpoints and to set the graticule size at < 1 degree. Note that there is little error checking in there still, so putting in dodgy numbers may cause qgis to crash.
2004-11-04 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel20 Added scale dependent visibility support to both raster and vector layers.
2004-11-02 [larsl] 0.5.0devel19 Added menu item for creating an empty GPX file
2004-10-31 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel18 Fix bug #1047002 (label buffer enabled / disabled checkbox not working)
2004-10-30 [larsl] 0.5.0devel17 qgsfeature.h is needed in qgsvectordataprovider.cpp since it's deleting a QgsFeature, fixed it
2004-10-29 [larsl] 0.5.0devel16 Added defaultValue() in QgsVectorLayer and QgsVectorDataProvider, implemented it in the GPX provider
2004-10-29 [stevehalasz] 0.5.0devel15
-
Write layers to projects files in the proper order by iterating over the zOrder in the map canvas. Fixes bug #1054332.
-
Remove the tag from the dtd. It is superfluous.

2004-10-17 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel4 OGR provider now uses GEOS to select features when doing identify and select operations.
2004-10-16 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel3 Fixed OGR filters in the add layer dialog box using fix in qgsproject-branch Reverted images in qgisappbase.ui to XPM so QGIS will compile on Qt < 3.x
2004-10-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel2 Added man page (qgis.man) that gets installed in man1 as qgis.1
2004-10-09 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel1 Changed name to Simon Added Simon splash screen Fixed command line loading bug to eliminate bogus warning for vector layers Modified splashscreen.cpp to allow specification of x,y for text drawing on the splash image Imperfectly fixed problem where PostGIS attributes aren't displayed if the primary key is not of type int4 (bug 1042706). Added Latvian translation file (untranslated at present)

2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel35 Re-fixed bug 987874, the provider will now skip geometry-less features but keep reading other features
2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel34 Fixed bug 987874 which caused QGIS to crash when showing the attribute table for shapefile layers with features with NULL geometry (GetGeometryRef() returns NULL) - the OGR provider now treats features with NULL geometry as NULL features, i.e. EOF
2004-09-15 [larsl] 0.4.0devel33 Fixed QgsUValMaDialogBase so the listbox doesn't take up all of the space
2004-09-14 [larsl] 0.4.0devel32 Added the SVG icons in src/svg/gpsicons
2004-09-13 [larsl] 0.4.0devel31 Added the unique value marker renderer

2004-09-08 [larsl] 0.4.0devel27 Fixed bug that crashed QGIS when the user selected records in the attribute table for a layer that used the single marker renderer
2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel26 Start of new qgs project file class. Obviously work-in-progress.
Committed for back-up sanity and to elicit comments from the bored.
2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel25 QgsRect :
- no longer waste copy of QgsPoint in ctor
2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel23 Moved plugin toolbar to the qgisappbase toolbar container rather than dynamically allocating it. This allows the state/docking position gets restored each time the app starts.
2004-08-26 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel22 qgisapp.cpp:
- fixed bug 1017079, where loading projects would cause app to crash
qgsprojectio.cpp:
- minor code change; commented out superfluous code
2004-08-26 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel21
Now explicitly check for command line arguments via
2004-08-25 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel20 Now explicitly use QgsMapLayerRegistry instance instead of data members. (Of which two both referred to the same instance.)
2004-08-25 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel19 Deleted two data members that referred to the Singleton object QgsMapLayerRegistry. Now explicitly use QgsMapLayerRegistry::instance(), which emphasizes that you're accessing a Singleton.
2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel18 Fixed a bug that caused SVG markers to be huge when oversampling was turned on
2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel17 Fixed transparency in SVG sumbols
2004-08-21 [larsl] 0.4.0devel16 Added a black frame around the white rectangle around SVG symbols to make it look cleaner, can be removed when transparency is fixed
2004-08-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel15 Added more attribute fields to the GPX provider: cmt, desc, src, sym, number, urlname
2004-08-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel14 Forgot to calculate bounds for user-added routes and tracks in the GPX provider, which caused unpredictable drawing bugs since selection wouldn't work. Fixed.
2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel13 Moved common toobar icons to drop-down tool menus. This includes the overview, hide/show all, and capture tools
2004-08-18 [jobi] 0.4.0devel12 added Italian translation thanx to Maurizio Napolitano updated all translations
2004-08-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel11 Implemented GPX file writing - GPX layers are now written back to file when features are added
2004-08-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel10
- More digitizing support for the GPX provider. Routes and tracks can now be created. Nothing is written to file yet.
2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel9 Added mouse wheel zoom. Moving wheel forward zooms in by a factor of 2.
2004-08-12 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel8 Rearranged capture icons and added them to the MapNavigation action group so that the icons remain depressed while the tool is active. (bugs 994274 and 994272) Fixed preferences bug (992458) that caused themes to disappear when setting options.
2004-07-19 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel7 Fixed broken setDisplayField function in qgsvectorlayer Added display/label field handling. Field is now set when the layer is added by examining the fields and attempting to make a "smart" choice. The user can later change this field from the layer properties dialog. This field is used as the item name in the identify box (top of the tree for each feature and its attributes) and will eventually be used in labeling features. Cleanup of postgres add layer dialog Removed excessive debug output from qgsfeature
2004-07-18 [larsl] 0.4.0devel6 Changed Graduated Marker renderer to use the SVG cache
2004-07-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel5 Added SVG cache and started using it in the Single Marker renderer
2004-07-10 [larsl] 0.4.0devel4 Added code to QgsProjectIo that saves and loads the provider key of a vector layer in the project file, so delimited text layers and GPX layers can be saved in a project. Haven't tested for grass vector layers, but it should work.
2004-07-09 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel3 First pass at defining PostgreSQL layers using a where clause in the data provider. UI may need some work. When adding a PG layer, double- click on the layer name to define the where clause. Do not include the where keyword 2004-07-05 [ts] 0.4.0devel2 Added option for forcing redraw when adding a raster - intended for use by plugins.
2004-07-05 [larsl] 0.4.0devel1 Moved lots of code from PluginGui to Plugin in the GPS plugin, use signals and slots for communication
2004-06-30 [jobi] 0.3.0devel58 made ready for release added interface version for libqgis
2004-06-28 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel57 Overview extent rectangle bug fix Patch (from strk) for PG layer extent calculation QgsActetate- documentation updates

2004-06-27 [larsl] 0.3.0devel54 Enabled GPS upload code again
2004-06-27 [ts] 0.3.0devel53 Numerous bug fixes and cleanups. Added remove all layers from overview button.
2004-06-26 [ts] 0.3.0devel52 Extents are now correctly restored when project is loaded
2004-06-24 [ts] 0.3.0devel51 Completion of projection fixes to freeze canvas and restore zorder correctly. Small issue with restoring extents properly needs to be resolved still.
2004-06-23 [mcoletti] 0.3.0devel50 Fixed bug whereby one couldn't downcast from QgsMapLayer- to a QgsVectorLayer*. Apparently this was because dlopen()'d files didn't have full access to global variables. Now plug-ins can use global variable by linking with -rdynamic and using dlopen()'s RTLD_GLOBAL flag.
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel49
Revised raster stats emitting of progress update to not do it when stats are fetched from cache. QGisApp progress bar now updates as each layer is rendered in the mapCanvas.
Some minor updates to projection
2004-06-21 [larsl] 0.3.0devel48 Hooked up the GPS gui to code that uses gpsbabel to import lots of GPS file formats to GPX
2004-06-21 [jobi] 0.3.0devel47 Added check for wrong UI version to make release fixed wrong versions and DOS endlines
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel46
Got tired of always resetting my gidbase dir every time qgis restarts - added it to qsettings.
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel45
Complete buffering so that bar as well as text will be visible on both light and dark surfaces.
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel44

Added setZOrder which will be used in next commit to fix projection zorder problem
2004-06-20 [ts] 0.3.0devel43
Fix annoying 'mapcanvas isn't freezing while loading rasters' bug
2004-06-19 [ts] 0.3.0devel42
Add white buffer around scalebar text...buffer around lines to come...
2004-06-18 [larsl] 0.3.0devel41 Added an option for setting the length of the scale bar to closest integer < 10 times power of 10
2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel40
Win32 support for package path - which will hopefully ensure pyramid and overview mini icons are displayed on legend entry now.
Beginnings of generic vector file writer - incomplete and doesn't do anything useful yet except has ability to make a shapefile with a couple of user defined fields e.g. to create a new point shapefile:
QgsVectorFileWriter myFileWriter("/tmp/test.shp", wkbPoint);
if (myFileWriter.initialise()) //#spellok
{
myFileWriter.createField("TestInt",OFTInteger,8,0);
myFileWriter.createField("TestRead",OFTReal,8,3);
myFileWriter.createField("TestStr",OFTString,255,0);
myFileWriter.writePoint(&theQgsPoint);
2004-06-16 [larsl] 0.3.0devel40 Added skeleton code for importing other GPS file formats using GPSBabel
2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel39 Added small icon displayed on raster legend showing whether this layer is in overview or not. This icon needs "petification!". Need to do the ame for vector once I figure out where to put the code!'
2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel38 Added new menu / toolbar option to add all loaded layers into the overview.
2004-06-15 [larsl] 0.3.0devel37 More preparation for GPS upload code New function in QgisInterface - getLayerRegistry()
2004-06-14 [ts] 0.3.0devel36 Added capability for plugins to clear the current project ignoring the project dirty flag (ie force new project).
2004-06-14 [ts] 0.3.0devel35 Added addRasterLayer(QgsRasterLayer *) to the plugin interface. This allows plugins to construct their own raster object, set its symbolisation and the pass it over to the app to be loaded into the canvas.
2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel34 Removed gdal deps in qgisapp.
Moved raster load stuff to a group at the end of qgisapp.cpp file.
Removed generically usable raster fns from qgisapp to static methods of qgsrasterlayer.
Some renaming of variable names etc.
Added addRaster(QgsRasterLayer *) private method to qgisapp - which is intended for use via plugins that want to load 'ready made' / symbolised raster layer into the mapCanvas.
2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel33
Globally changed legen item fonts to arial 10pt for consistency with rest of ui. Will soft code in qgsoptions in next release.
2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel32 Add version name to splash
2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel31 Implemented a new map cursor type : Capture Point (little pencil icon on your toolbar). At the moment clicking on the map in capture point mode will cause QgsMapCanvas to emit an xyClickCoordinate(QgsPoint) signal which is picked up by qgisapp and the coordinates are placed into the system clipboard.
In release 0.5 this will be extended to provide simple point vector file data capture / digitizing facility. This will be implemented by means of a plugin which will utilize the aforementioned xyClickCoordinate(QgsPoint) signal.
2004-06-12 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel30 Windows support -- lots of changes
2004-06-11 [larsl] 0.3.0devel29 Let the user choose GPS protocol and feature type to download
2004-06-10 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel28 Added display of extent rectangle in the overview map. Current implementation is not optimized (requires repaint of the overview canvas to display updated rectangle) Added acetate layer support to the map canvas. Currently there is only one acetate object type - QgsAcetateRectangle, which inherits from QgsAcetateObject. More acetate types will follow...
2004-06-10 [ts] 0.3.0devel27 Modified projection (serialisation and deserialisation of project files) to use maplayerregistry and not mapcanvas.
Implemented state handling of 'showInOverview' property in project io. 2004-06-10 [petebr] 0.3.0devel26 Tidied up the SPIT gui to match the plugin template. Fixed bug in scale bar which displayed the bar the wrong size! Fixed all the plugins so they do not do multiple refreshes on exit. Added color selection for scale bar.
2004-06-09 [mcoletti] 0.3.0devel25 Added support for a feature type name in QgsFeature. The GDAL/OGR shape file provider now also provides the feature type name.
2004-06-09 [petebr] 0.3.0devel24 Added the scale bar plugin. My first solo plugin! :-)
2004-06-09 [ts] 0.3.0devel23 Added "Show in overview" option to vector popup menu.
Removed overview stuff from debug only version of qgisapp.
Did plumbing for enabling disabling layers in overview from popup context menu.
Whoopdeedooo. :-)
All that remains to do now is sort out syncronisation of layer ordering between main map canvas and overview canvas.
2004-06-09 [ts] 0.3.0devel22 Fixed bug that causes qgis to crash when an empty .dbf is encountered. Added transparency slider to raster popup menu.
2004-06-09 [larsl] 0.3.0devel21 Hid the "GPS download file importer" tab
2004-06-08 [larsl] 0.3.0devel20 Call GPSBabel using QProcess instead of system(), show a progress bar while GPSBabel is running, show the messages printed to GPSBabel's stderr if something goes wrong
2004-06-08 [larsl] 0.3.0devel19 Started adding GPS data download capability. Only tracklogs from Garmin devices for now, routes and waypoints and Magellan support will come in the near future.
2004-06-08 [jobi] 0.3.0devel18 updated ts files fixed German translation added translation support to external help applications (grid_maker and gpsimporter)
2004-06-07 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel17 Added update threshold to user options. Update threshold defines the number features to read before updating the map display (canvas). If set to zero the display is not updated until all features have been read.
2004-06-07 [larsl] 0.3.0devel16 Changed some calls to QMessageBox::question() to QMessageBox::information() since Qt 3.1.2 doesn't have question()
2004-06-07 [ts] 0.3.0devel15 Implemented map overview using maplayers rather than snapshots of a raster layer.
Implemented QgsMapLayerRegistry - s singleton object that keeps track of loaded layers. When a layer is added an entry is made in the registry. When a layer is removed, the registry emits a layerWillBeRemoved signal that is connected to any mapvcanvas, legend etc that may be using the layer. The objects using the layer can then remove any reference they make to the layer - after which the registry deletes the layer object.
This fixes a problem with adding an overview map which caused qgis to crash when a layer was removed because it was trying to delete the same pointer twice.
Added a better implementation of the overview map below map legend.
Refactoring in qgis app - all private members now adhere to qgis naming conventions (prefixed with m).
Import Note *ONLY THE MAPLAYER REGISTRY SHOULD DELETE QgsMapLayer::LayerType NOW *
2004-06-03 [ts] 0.3.0devel14 Added getPaletteAsPixmap function to raster and display on raster props dialog. Also added gdaldatatype to raster props metadata dialog.
2004-06-04 [jobi] 0.3.0devel13 fixed tims typo with GDAL_LDADD cleaned pluginnames
2004-06-03 [jobi] 0.3.0devel12 fixed bug #965720 by adding math.h for gcc 3.4 problems
2004-06-02 [ts] 0.3.0devel11 Changed maplayer draw() and its subclasses vectorlayer and rasterlayer to not need src parameter (this can be obtained from painter->device()).
More work on print system - still only works well on A4 landscape.
Northarrow and copyright label plugins now hidethemselves before emitting update signals when OK is pressed.
QGSMapCanvas can now return the (last calculated) scale using getScale
QGSMapCanvas Impl struct rename to CanvasProperties. QgsMapCanvas impl_ member renamed to mCanvasProperties.
2004-05-31 [ts] 0.3.0devel10 Added basic print capability to qgis....consider this a work in progress. 2004-05-31 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel9 Changed QgsIdentifyResultsBase to inherit from QWidget instead of QDialog so window position can be saved/restored from user settings each time. Changed qgis.h int version number to 300 (should have been done at release)
2004-05-30 [ts] 0.3.0devel8 Fix poorly placed status text on splash screen.
2004-05-27 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel7 Fixed schema problem with the spit plugin
2004-05-27 [jobi] 0.3.0devel7 cleanup of gcc warnings
2004-05-27 [petebr] 0.3.0devel6 Altered buttons on GUI to a standardised layout - HELP - APPLY - OK - CANCEL
2004-05-26 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel5 Added theme selection to the user preferences dialog. Currently there is only one theme (default) available
2004-05-26 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel4 Added theme support for loading png icons during startup. This solves ugly icon problem when encoded as xpm in the ui files. See comments in the QgisApp::settheme() function for details
2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel3 Added some calls to std::string::c_str() to hopefully make Qt without STL happy
2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel2
2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel1 Fixed a bug that caused the legend checkboxes to always be unchecked when using Qt 3.1.2 by removing QgsLegendItem::setOn(), don't know how this affects newer Qt
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel37 Show the legend widgets in debug mode too
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel36 Fixed some more instances of the same bug in raster layer
2004-05-25 [ts] 0.2.0devel35 Disable overview widget for release. Minor bugfix in rasterlayer picker up by Larsl which is only encountered bu i8n users. Miscellaneous other fixes including proper rotation support for north arrows in all 4 corners of display, inproved refresh behavior of n-arrow and copyright plugin, better state hadnling for copyright plugin.
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel34 Updated all ts files and translated new messages in the swedish file
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel33 Updated the swedish translation
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel32 Resaved plugins/copyright_label/pluginguibase.ui with designer 3.1 to fix const problem
2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel31 First working version for gui pyramid manager (implemented as tab in raster props). Raster legend entry now stretched to width of legend and show an icon indicating whether the layer has overviews or not. Added struct and qvaluelist to raster to store pyramids state in.
2004-05-20 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel30 Changed release name to Madison in qgis.h Added QgsScaleCalculator to libqgis spec in src/Makefile.am Additional debug statements in grass data provider
2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel29 Added pyramid / no pyramid icon to raster legend entry and made legend pixmap fill up all available space in leend width. Added new dir for icons in src that will be installed to PKGPATH/share/icons
2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel28 Changed splash to load picture from file instead of an xpm include. This will hopefully speed up compile times for folks building on p133's. Changed splash image to the fluffball ready for 0.3 release.
2004-05-19 [larsl] 0.2.0devel27 Implemented nextFeature(list&) in the GPX provider
2004-05-18 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel26 Saved the qgsappbase.ui and the qgsprojectpropertiesbase.ui files (modified at version 0.2.0devel25) using qt designer 3.1.2 to preserve backward compatibility.
2004-05-18 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel25 Changes to implement scale display for map data in feets, meters, and decimal degrees. A new menu item is added to the Tools menu for selecting the map units. This setting is currently not saved with a project file. TODO:Modify qgis.dtd and project save/load to support map units.
NOTE - the qgisapp.ui file was created with qt 3.3.x and WILL NOT WORK with qt 3.1.2. This will be changed as soon as I can find my 3.1.2 version of qt designer...
2004-05-18 [ts] 0.2.0devel24 Relax checking of raster filetype extensions to cater for filetypes where extension is unpredictable (e.g. grass). Now I use gdal to quickly check if a file is usable so pretty much anything gdal iscompile with should get through if you have chosen wildcard filter in add raster dialog.
2004-05-17 [larsl] 0.2.0devel23 Added URL parsing and attribute fields for route and track GPX layers
2004-05-17 [ts] 0.2.0devel22 Added support to Save As Image to save in any QImageIO supported format. File->SaveAsImage dialog filter list now generated automagically by interrogating QImageIO for its supported formats. File->SaveAsImage remembers last dir used (stored in qsettings). Its supposed to remember last filter used but there is an issue with that that needs to be resolved.
2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel21 Added url/link parsing to the GPX provider
2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel20 Corrected file name extension for PNG files
2004-05-15 [larsl] 0.2.0devel19 Added my picture in the About dialog to attract more female users to QGIS
2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel18 Raster properties changes: Switched order of general tab and symbology tab - as you normally change straight to symbology tab anyway. Removed stats tab and consolidated stats into metadata tab. Clean ups on metadata tab.
2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel17 Raster stats tab now displays pyramid/overview info
2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel16 Cleaned up the enabling/disabling of controls in the GPS dialog Changed the order in which different layers are loaded from a GPX file Added the basename of the GPX or LOC file in the layer name Changed the plugin name to the more general "GPS Tools"
2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel15 Fixed a bug that caused the canvas to have a fixed width of 400 with my Qt version - the main grid layout for the main window had one extra column
2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel14 Added a tab for loading GPX and LOC files to the GPS plugin dialog
2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel13 Added a virtual destructor to QgsDataProvider and deleted dataProvider in the destructor for QgsVectorLayer
2004-05-13 [larsl] 0.2.0devel12 Changing std::string to QString in GPSData::getData() and GPSData::releaseData() to support Qt libraries built without STL support
2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel11 Fixes for segfaults on grid_make and gps_importer dbf creation
2004-05-12 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel10 Fixes for OS X endian bug (needs further testing)
2004-05-12 [jobi] 0.2.0devel9 Added endian checks in configure decreased versions in the auto- checks
2004-05-12 [ts] 0.2.0devel8 Added addProject(QString) to plugin interface.
2004-05-05 [jobi] 0.2.0devel7 Extended qgis-config to expose version
2004-05-04 [ts] 0.2.0devel6 Added two new internal plugins - North Arrow and Copyright message overlay
2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel5 Canvas now emits renderComplete signal when rendering of cnavas has completed, but before the screen is refreshed. Added accessor and mutators for the canvas pixmap.
2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel4 qgisApp->mapCanvas is now exposed through the plugin interface.
2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel3 Added three new widgets to status bar: scale - which shows the scale in the form 1:50000 * coordinates - shows coordinates of mouse on map in its own widget progressbar - shows the progress of any task that emits signals connected to showProgress slot
Added signal / slot mechanism for showExtents and set fp precision to 2 (see below)
stringRep function in QgsRect and QgsPoint now overloaded to allow setting floating point precision for display. QgisApp & canvas are currently hard coding this to 2 but I plan to make this user configurable in the options panel.
Added example of using progress indicator to raster stats gathering procedure. You can see this in action by setting ak_shade example dataset to singleband pseudocolor and you will see progress indicator advancing as stats are gathered.
*NOTE: scale calculations may not be correct at this point - they are still under development.
2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel2
Added preliminary support for building pyramids in raster files using the GDAL overview function. Currently it is hard coded to use Nearest neighbour algorithm with pyramids at levels 2, 4 and 8. Adding pyramids to your raster layer can greatly improve rendering performance. This new functionality is accessed by right clicking on a raster legen entry and choosing 'Build Pyramids' from the popup menu.
*PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION * This current implementation does not warn you of possible side effects including:
- possible image degradation if too many pyramids are generated
- possuble large increase in image side
- currently this process IS NOT KNOWN TO BE REVERSIBLE so please backup data first before experimenting.
2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel1
Rejigged single marker symbol so directory, icon selector, preview and scaling widget are all in one panel rather than having to spawn a new window to select an icon.
2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel0
Fixed broken bits in internal plugin builder template and updated default plugin template gui,
Version 0.2 'Pumpkin' .... development version
2004-04-25 [jobi] 0.1.0devel36 Added i18n tools to EXTRA_DIST Updated German translation fixed a typo -> other translations changed too
2004-04-22 [jobi] 0.1.0devel35 added install routine for svg files added new translations adjusted paths in the cpp files
2004-04-19 [jobi] 0.1.0devel34 Changed to simple macros for detecting QT and GDAL Added code for detecting QGIS as m4 file to tools this will be installed together with QT and GDAL detection to $prefix/share/aclocal/qgis.m4 so the plugins can just use those simple unique macros updated German translation !! Developers have to link the installed qgis.m4 to /usr/share/aclocal/ !! or where ever aclocal keeps the m4 files !! otherwise it's not detected by the plugins autogen.sh (more exactly !! aclocal) !! It can be cheated by adding -I path/to/qgis.m4 to the aclocal of !! autogen.sh. But be careful not to commit that to CVS
2004-04-18 [jobi] 0.1.0devel33 Added internationalisations stuff Needs some documentation and more translations :-)
2004-04-17 [ts] 0.1.0devel32 Fix for crash when opening singleband grayscale images introduced by Steves fix for crash when opening MULTIBAND_SINGLEBAND_GRAYSCALE images. Thanks to Steves help, all eight raster renderers are now working properly. This resolves bug : [ 934234 ] Segfault when drawing multiband image band as grayscale
2004-04-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel31 Added new plugin (grid_maker) to build arbitrary sized graticules and add them to the current map view.

2004-04-04 [jobi] 0.1.0devel29 fixed GRASS provider
2004-04-03 [ts] 0.1.0devel28 Bug fix (still unconfirmed if it cures the bug!) for raster layer rendering artifacts.
Added new color ramper for grayscale and pseudcolor grayscale image called freak out (its a bit psycadellic at the moment). Last class break ne eds some work!
2004-04-02 [jobi] 0.1.0devel27 Added version checks for autoconf, automake and libtool Small bugfixes
2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel26 Rolling forward QgsFeature::setGeometry() interface change whereby the size of the well known type geometry binary buffer is also now passed in.
2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel25 Compensating for QgsFeature::setGeometry() now accepting "size" parameter for the given binary geometry string.
QgsShapeFileProvider::endian() now uses shorter, standard way of computing endian-ness.
2004-04-02 [stevehalasz] 0.1.0devel25
2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel24 changed qgiscommit to hopefully fix all problems
2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel23 Extended tools/qgiscommit to pass parameters to cvs
2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel22 Fixed GRASS plugin and provider build

2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel20 fixed small bug renamed plugins/gps_importer/shapefil.h to shapefile.h
2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel19 A lot of small changes to make release work again Probably more cleaning in the Makefiles needed
2004-03-27 [ts] 0.1.0devel18 Fix for cl parameter "snapshot" to ensure events are process (ie canvas is drawn!) before snapshot is taken.
2004-03-27 [jobi] 0.1.0devel17 autogen.sh now passes parameters to configure fixed tools/qgiscommit by using mktemp, thanx mcoletti pluginpath is now taken of libdir to be 64bit compliant (e.g. /usr/lib64/qgis)
2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel13 forgot to remove tempfile
2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel12 Removed Newline after statusline Should work now fine! Have fun
2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel11
Added qgiscommit tool
2004-03-26 [didge] 0.1.0devel10
Fixed bug #920070 Made plugin-libdir 64bit compatible (e.g. /usr/lib64/qgis) for AMD64 and PPC64 systems
2004-03-22 [mac] 0.1.0devel9
Added gps_importer plugin (still a work in progress)
2004-03-22 [mac] 0.1.0devel8
s/config.h/qgsconfig.h/
qgsconfig.h now has header sentinels
now will install headers in
2004-03-21 [ts] 0.1.0devel7
Added thumbnail preview of raster to raster props dialog. Added drawThumbnail method to rasterlayer.cpp Split (overloaded) draw method in rasterlayer.cpp so that some parts of the original draw method could be used by drawThumbnail method too.
Fixed a bug in the drawing of pseudocolor single band grayscale images that prevented all class breaks being displayed.
2004-03-10 [gs] 0.1.0devel7 Added delimited text plugin which provides gui to add delimited text layers using the delimited_text data provider Changes to delimited_text data provider to support zooming, display of attributes, and identifying features. Selecting features does not work at this time. Auto- changes to support building the delimited text provider and plugin Minor changes to QgsFeature
2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Completed session management of plugins (so active plugins are remembered when qgis closes and reloaded in the next session).
2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Save state of plugins in ~/.qt/qtrc file (in progress). State is saved, just need to implement code to load plugins marked as active during application startup.
2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Added QgsRasterLayer::filterLayer which gets called near the end of each of the 8 renderers. This is the place to inline filters. Note that eventually filters will be hived out to a filter plugin mechanism.
2004-03-06 [didge] 0.1.0devel6 Changed configure stuff to write DEFINES in config.h. PostgreSQL stuff needs testing as I commented the compileflags in src/Makefile.am Infos will be posted on the devel mailinglist
2004-03-04 [ts] 0.1.0devel5 Added option to options dialog to disable splashscreen.
2004-02-28 [ts] 0.1.0devel5
- -snapshot command line parameter working now and correctly scaling snapshot to size of pixmap. started moving splashscreen to a global so other classes diring the startup process can get access to set the splash status. (in progress)
2004-02-28 [gs] 0.1.0devel5 Refactored QgsField to use new coding conventions Documented QgsField (added docs to qgsfield.h) Updated doxygen mainpage section in qgis.h Added What's this? help to main application window Added providers/delimitedtext and associated source files to CVS
2004-02-27 [gs] 0.1.0devel4 Corrected debug statements in main.cpp and added a bit of verbiage to the help text. Removed hard coding of provider types in the QgisApp::addVectorLayer method. Caller must now provide compatible arguments that the designated provider can use to open the data store and fetch data. Changed QgsPgGeoprocessing class to properly call addVectorLayer.
2004-02-27 [ts] Changed cl parser to getopt Moved project loading out of loop that loads layers - you now need to specify --project filename to load a filename. This ensures that you only try to load one project file. Added --snapshot filename parameter that will load layers and project files specified, take a screenie of the map view and save it to disk as filename - this is under construction still. Added saveMapAsImage(QString) to qgisapp so above cl option can be used.
2004-02-26 [ts] Added a tab to raster layer properties dialog to show metadata about the raster layer (using gdal metadata)
2004-02-26 [gs] 0.1.0devel3 Added Version to configure.in. QGIS now displays its version number based on the settings in configure.in
2004-02-24 [gs] Search radius for identifying features on vector layers added to Preferences
2004-02-23 [ts] Save current view to disk as a PNG image
User interface improvements - menu and dialog cleanups and a new icon theme based on Everaldo's Crystal icon set. QGIS can load layers and / or a project on start up by specifying these on the command line. Symbol renderers for simple, graduated, and continuous symbols Raster support for most GDAL formats Raster implementation supports a variety of rendering settings including semi transparent overlays, palette inversion, flexible band to color mapping in multiband images and creation of pseudocolor. Change to a data provider architecture for vector layers. Additional data types can be supported by writing a provider plugin Buffer plugin for PostGIS layers PostgreSQL port number can be specified when making connections Shapefile to PostGIS Import Tool (SPIT) plugin for importing shapefiles into PostgreSQL/PostGIS User guide (HTML and PDF) Install guide (HTML and PDF) Plugin manager to manage loading/unloading of plugins Plugin template to automate the more mundane parts of creating a new plugin. Numerous bug fixes Removed dependency on libpq++ when compiling with PostgreSQL/PostGIS support PostgreSQL/PostGIS layers now rely on GEOS for selecting features
New build system (uses GNU Autoconf) Improvement to sorting in attribute table Persistent selections (shapefiles only) Display order can be changed by dragging a layer to a new position in the legend Export QGIS view as a Mapserver map file Fix for crash on SuSE 9.0 when moving mouse in legend area
Multiple features displayed with the Identify tool Identify function returns and displays attributes for multiple features found within the search radius Fixes to endian handling on big endian machines Support for PostgreSQL 7.3 schemas for database layers Features in shapefiles can be selected by dragging a selection box or selecting the records in the attribute table Zoom to extent of selected features (Shapefiles only) Bug fix: Bug that prevented reopening of the attribute table once it was initially displayed and closed Bug fix: Bug that prevented lines from being drawn with widths other than 1 pixel Build system has changed for building with PostgreSQL support.
Preliminary Plugin Manager implementation Version check under tools menu Version checking uses port 80 to prevent problems with firewalls Fix for PostGIS bug when srid != -1 Fix for PostGIS LINESTRING rendering Database Connections can now be deleted Fixes to Database Connection dialog Fix for crash when opening a shapefile attribute table twice in succession Fix for crash when opening invalid shapefiles
*Fixes to project save/open support *Enhancements to plugin tests *Fixes to build system (gdal link problem)
*Preliminary project save/open support *Streamlined build system
*During repaint, the data store is only accessed if map state or extent has changed *Changes to layer properites aren't effective until the Layer Properties dialog is closed *Canceling the Layer Properties dialog cancels changes
*Changes to the build system to allow building with/without PostgeSQL support
*Fix to build problems introduced at 0.0.6. No new features are included in this release.
*Improved handling/management of PostGIS connections *Password prompt if the password is not stored with a connection *Windows size and position and toolbar docking state is saved/restored *Identify function for layers *Attribute table for a layer can be displayed and sorted by clicking on column headers *Duplicate layers (layers with same name) are now handled properly

July 26, 2002 Drawing code now properly displays layers and calculates extents when zooming. Zoom is still fixed zoom in rather than interactive.
July 20, 2002 Repaint automatic for layers.
July 18, 2002 Point, line and polygon PostGis layers can be drawn. Still issues with map extent and positioning of layers on the canvas. Drawing is manual and not tied to the paint event. No zooming or panning yet.
July 10, 2002 Layers can be selected and added to the map canvas collection however the rendering code is currently disabled and being reorganized. So if you add a layer, nothing will be drawn...
July 6, 2002 This code is preliminary and really has no true functionality other than the ability to define a PostGIS connection and display the spatially enabled tables that could be loaded.
This is the initial import of the code base into CVS on Sourceforge.net.
