input to a processing algorithm.
This allows parameter inputs to encapsulate extra information
relating to a feature sink input, such as destination file
encoding and whether the sink layer should be loaded into
the project on completion
This somewhat changes the meaning of outputs from processing 2.x.
In 2.x processing outputs were used both as a method of specifying
inputs to algorithms (file paths to destination layers created
by the algorithm) AND pure outputs (such as statistics calculated
by the algorithm).
This is now split. The old input-type-outputs (destination layers)
are now input parameters (since the parameter value IS an input to the
algorithm). To differentiate them from parameters indicating pure
input layers a new "isDestination()" method was added to
QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.
Output definitions are now purely indications of values CREATED
by the algorithms. Suitable candidates are the existing calculated
stats and actual file path/URI of any layers created by the algorithm.
Moving forward we should ensure all algorithms output as much
useful information as possible - e.g. number of features processed,
number of skipped features, count null geometries encountered, etc...
While the processing API is in such a state of flux it's
become unmaintainable to port these algorithms change-by-change.
Instead, disable them all until the API is fixed, and then we
can port them algorithm by algorithm and reactivate each
test in turn.
instead of adding an extra CMakeLists in .ci/travis/code_layout to build API doc, astyle and run tests (indentation, spelling, sip, doc coverage), the top CMakeLists has been adapted to allow not building core libraries and possibly just the static code layout
* astyle has been moved from /src/astyle to /lib/astyle (I would propose to move all external libraries, and possibly add git submodules)
when changing current band
Now the widget asks users if they want to delete existing categories
when they switch a band, just like how the categorized renderer
widget asks when the categorized field is changed.
