Choices are "individual features" (the default behavior) or "continuous
surface". The new Continuous Surface option is designed for vector
layers which represent a continuous elevation surface, e.g contour
lines or surveyed elevation points. When selected, the elevation
chart will be rendered as a surface instead of separate features
by joining the sampled elevation results into a continuous line.
There's also the same option exposed as for raster and mesh layers
where the appearance can be toggled from a single line to a "fill
below" symbol.

using a fill symbol below the elevation surface
This can be easier to interpret in some cases, and helps match expected
symbology conventions in certain disciplines.
windows and docks between sessions"
If checked for a project, then any opened attribute tables will be
saved into the project and immediately restored when loading that
project.
Designed to improve workflows when a user has constructed a project
with a particular set of attribute table configurations for their
requirements, and re-setting up these attribute tables is a hassle.
"Remember editable layer status between sessions"
If checked, then any layers which are editable will be remembered
when saving that project and immediately made editable whenever
the project is restored.
This is an opt-in, per-project setting. The intended use case
is for users who are making complex, data-editing focused projects.
as "basemap" layers
This flag identifies if the layer is considered a 'basemap' layer, where
certain properties of the layer should be ignored when calculating
project-level properties. For instance, the extent of basemap layers
should be ignored when calculating the overall extent of a project,
as these layers are typically global and extend outside of a project's
area of interest.
must be refreshed whenever the item is refreshed
This behaviour is not automatic. The new flag allows items to opt-in,
so that their children WILL be automatically refreshed when the
item is refreshed.
Should be used sparingly only to avoid expensive work
A group layer is a map layer which consists of a set of
child layers, where all component layers are rendered as a single
flattened object during map renders.
This commit sets up the base framework for QgsGroupLayer only
(i.e. no rendering changes).
with "on inner vertices"
This new mode places the symbols on all inner vertices (ie all
vertices except the first or last). (We can safely do this now
that its easy for users to also set the symbols to show on
first/last vertex by clicking those checkboxes too!)
The motivation here is that when the "Vertex" mode puts the
symbols on the first/last vertex as well as inner vertices,
it's basically impossible to style a line with a different
marker on the first/last vertex to the rest of the line's
vertices. (The best you can get is just hiding the unwanted
first/last vertex by overlaying a second symbol layer on
the first/last vertices with a larger symbol)

Makes it considerably quicker to create a marker line with the
markers on the first AND last vertex, amongst other things...
Fixes#18433
Sponsored by North Road, thanks to SLYR
Adds two new capitalization styles for labels and text symbols:
- Small Caps: Renders lowercase characters as small caps
- All Small Caps: Renders all characters as small caps (regardless
of their original case)
Requires Qt 6.3+, or Qt 5.15 using KDE's fork and the cmake
HAS_KDE_QT5_SMALL_CAPS_FIX switch defined during build.
