Version 1.2.0 'Daphnis'
4
** Please note that this is a release in our 'cutting edge' release series. As
5
** such it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over
6
** QGIS 1.0.x. If stability and long term support is more important to you
7
** then cool new and untested features, we recommend that you use a copy
8
** of QGIS from our stable 1.0.x release series.
9
** This release includes over 140 bug fixes and enchancements
10
** over the QGIS 1.1.0 release. In addition we have added
11
** the following new features:
15
** Editing functionality in QGIS has had a major update in this release. This
16
** includes the addition of new vector editing tools:
18
** - delete part of multipart feature
19
** - delete hole from polygon
21
** - Added a new "node" tool (in advanced digitizing toolbar).
22
** - New functionality for merging features
23
** - Added undo/redo functionality for vector layer editing.
24
** - Added option to show only markers of selected features in editing mode.
25
** - Change layer's icon in legend to reflext that the layer is editable.
27
** In addition, there are undo/redo actions in Edit menu, in Advanced digitizing toolbar
28
** and there is a new dock widget displaying undo stack of active layer.
30
** About the node tool: It resembles a tool for editing paths by nodes that is
31
** present in every vector editor. How does it work (in QGIS)? Click on a
32
** feature, its nodes will be marked by small rectangles. Clicking and dragging a
33
** node moves it. Double clicking a segment will add a new node. Pressing delete
34
** key will remove active node. It's possible to select more active nodes at
35
** once: by clicking and dragging a rectangle. It's possible to select a segment's
36
** adjacent nodes by clicking on the segment. It's possible to add/remove active
37
** nodes by using Ctrl when clicking a node or dragging a rectangle
39
** We recommend that you turn off vertex markers in QGIS options when working with
40
** this tool: the redraws are much faster and the map is not cluttered with
43
** Keyboard shortcuts:
45
** New feature: configure shortcuts for actions within main window of qgis!
46
** See menu Setting->Configure shortcuts
50
** It is now possible to lock/unlock composer item positions by right mouse click.
51
** The width and height of the composer map will now remain fixed if user sets the
52
** composer map extent to the map canvas extent. possibility to display
53
** current date in composer label by typing (d 'June' yyyy) or similar.
54
** It is now possible to keep the current layers in a composer map even if further
55
** layers are added to the main map. Export to PDF in composer is now possible.
59
** It is now possible to search the attribute table within selected records only.
60
** General speedups have been made on the attribute table. Setting of field width
61
** and precision when adding attributes is now possible. Handling of attribute
62
** types in WFS provider has bee improved.
64
** Attribute aliases for vector layers are now available. The aliases are shown
65
** instead of the original field names in the info tool and attribute table to
66
** make things easier for end users. There is now a GUI for setting edit widgets
67
** for layer attributes. A new dialog allows loading a value map from a layer
68
** (could be non-spatial table too!). The edit widgets settings will also now
69
** be respected in the attribute table.
73
** - The order of layers in the WMS dialog can now be changed.
74
** - The eVis plugin, version 1.1.0, has been added to the QGIS project and
75
** included as a standard plugin. More information about eVis can be found here:
76
** http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/evis/documentation.php .
77
** - The interpolation plugin now has the ability to use line layers as constrains
78
** for triangulation in interpolation plugin. You can also now save the
79
** triangulation to shape file.
80
** - An new OpenStreetMap provider and plugin have been added to QGIS.
82
** Projects Management:
84
** QGIS now includes support for project relative position of file data sources
85
** and svgs. The saving of relative paths of file data sources is optional.
87
** PostGIS & the PostgreSQL Provider:
89
** You can now select the SSL mode when adding a new DB connection. Turning off
90
** SSL encryption can greatly improve performance of PostGIS data loading where
91
** connection security is not required. Support has been added for more native
92
** types and for setting of column comments.
94
** Symbology enhancements:
96
** - allow refresh of symbols via popup menu on the renderer's symbol selection
97
** - add support for data defined symbols
98
** - add support for font symbol markers (only data defined - no gui yet)
99
** - add symbol size in map units (ie. symbols that keep the size in mapunits
100
** independent of the mapscale)
102
** Command line arguments:
104
** Added command line argument support on windows.
105
** Enhancement of command line arguments:
106
** - allow given snapshot sizes
107
** - allow suppression of splash screen
108
** - capture map decorations from plugins on snapshots
112
** There is a new GRASS shell. Also there have been many cleanups and consistency
116
** Please note that this is a release in our 'unstable' release series. As
117
** such it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over
