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 +** over the QGIS 1.0.0 release. In addition we have added +** the following new features: +** Updates to translations. +** Improvements and polishing of the Python plugin installer. Switch to the +** new official QGIS repository. +** Improvements to themes so that plugins and other parts of the GUI are +** better supported when switching themes. Addition of the new GIS icon +** theme. +** Improvements to Debian packaging to better support Debian standard +** requirements. +** Support usb: as a GPS device under Linux. +** WMS plugin now supports sorting and shows nested layers as a tree. WMS +** provider also support 24bit png images now. The WMS plugin also now +** provides a search interface for finding WMS servers. +** Added svg point symbols symbols from Matt Amos (with his permission). +** Improvements to proxy support and support of proxy in WFS provider. The +** WFS provider now also shows progress information as it is fetching data. +** Improvements the PostGIS client support. Massive speedups in PostGIS layer +** rendering can now be achieved by disabling SSL in the connection editor. +** Mapserver Export improvements for continuous color support. +** Added tools menu - the fTools plugins are now part of the core QGIS +** plugins and will always be installed by default. +** Improvements to the print composer including object alignment options. It +** is also now possible to print maps as postcript raster or vector. For +** python programmers, the composer classes now have python bindings. +** When using File - Save as image, the saved image is now georeferenced. +** Projection selector now includes quick selection of recently used CRS's. +** Continuous color renderer supports point symbols now too. +** Improved CMake support for building against dependencies from OSGEO4W +** (Windows only). Addition of an XCode project of developers building under +** OSX. +** Updates and cleanups to the GRASS toolbox. +** Changes in open vector dialog to support all drivers available in ogr +** including database and protocol drivers. This brings with it support for +** SDE, Oracle Spatial, ESRI personal geodatabase and many more OGR +** supported data stores. Note that in some cases accessing these may +** require third party libraries to be on your system. +** The middle mouse button can now be used for panning. +** A new, faster attribute table implementation. +** Numerous cleanups to the user interface. +** A new provider was added for spatiallite - a geodatabase-in-a-file +** implementation based on the SQLITE database. +** Vector overlay support that can draw pie and bar charts over vector +** layers based on attribute data. Version 1.0.0 'Kore' ** This release includes over 265 bug fixes and enhancements over the ** QGIS 0.11.0 release. In addition we have made the following changes:
