/* ChangeLog,v 1.214 2004/11/12 00:42:21 gsherman Exp */
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2.0 'Daphnis'
** 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 enchancements 
** over the QGIS 1.1.0 release. In addition we have added 
** the following new features:
**
** Editing:
** 
** 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. 
** 
** Keyboard shortcuts:
** 
** New feature: configure shortcuts for actions within main window of qgis!
** See menu Setting->Configure shortcuts
** 
** Map Composer:
** 
** 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.
** 
** Attribute tables:
** 
** 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.
** 
** Plugins:
** 
** - 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.
** 
** Projects Management:
** 
** 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.
** 
** PostGIS & the PostgreSQL Provider:
** 
** 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.
** 
** Symbology enhancements:
** 
** - 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
**   independant of the mapscale)
** 
** Command line arguments:
** 
** 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
** 
** Grass:
** 
** There is a new GRASS shell. Also there have been many cleanups and consistency
** updates.
** 
Version 1.1.0 'Pan'
** 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.
** This release includes many bug fixes and enchancements

2004-12-30 [mcoletti] 0.6.0devel2
*** Re-factored endian-handling in data providers
*** Re-factored delimited text provider 
*** Made some class members const-correct

2004-12-30 [larsl] 0.6.0devel1
** Implemented getProjectionWKT() in QgsGPXProvider

2004-12-19 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc2
** Updated README
** Added main.cpp so spit builds as standalone and plugin. Makefile.am modified
   so spit binary installs in PREFIX dir

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
enpoints 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.

** Changes to the GPX provider:
   * Implemented isEditable(), isModified(), commitChanges(), and rollBack()
   * Removed the useless lat and lon attributes in waypoint features
   * Cleaned up the attribute parsing in addFeature()
   GPX editing should now work again.

2004-10-17 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel4
** OGR provider now uses GEOS to select features when doing identify and
   select operations.

** 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)

2004-09-23 [larsl] 0.4.0devel38
** Removed support for loading Geocaching.com LOC files

2004-09-20 [tim] 0.4.0devel37
** Shameless acknowledge not keeping this file up to date!
** Sort out clipping problems with labeller

2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel36
** Added the element definition of uniquevaluemarker to qgis.dtd

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

2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel30
** Scale down SVG symbols
** Display rasters without geotransform info as "1 pixel = 1 unit"

2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel29
** Fixed bug in scale_bar plugin that would cause QGIS to freeze when a
   layer with one point was loaded

2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel28
** The device lists in the GPS plugin should show /dev/ttyUSB* devices too
   now (for serial USB adapters) on Linux

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 $# instead of $@.  Using
$@ caused the script to crash when more than one command line argument was
passed in.  (E.g., specifying multiple files for CVS commits.)

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 labelling 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

2004-06-28 [jobi] 0.3.0devel56

** 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 projectio 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 emiting 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 projectio   

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 everytime 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

** Fix for bug [ 973922 ] Overview shows layers in wrong order

** Fixed show stopper bug where maplayerregistry wasnt being cleared properly on file new

** Added setZOrder which will be used in next commit to fix projectio zorder problem

2004-06-20 [ts] 0.3.0devel43

** Fix anoying 'mapcanvas isnt 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 doesnt do anything useful 
   yet except has abilty 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())
   {
     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

>>>>>>> 1.136
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 useable 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 consistancy 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 / 
  digitising facility. This will be implemented by means of a plugin which will utilise 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 projectio (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 colour 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 enableing 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 behaviour 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

>>>>>>> 1.120
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<int>&) 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 useable 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 supportted 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

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

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 carefull 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

  naming scheme for created source files

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.

   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

** Auto* changes to support building the delimited text provider and
   plugin
** Minor changes to QgsFeature

2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6

   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.

   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 Whats 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.

  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 exent 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

  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.
