- add a clone() method to filters, and always search using the
clone instead of the original filter
- add a prepare() method to filters, which is always run in the
main thread and can be used to prepare the filter for safe
background execution (e.g. creating feature iterators in advance)
- don't use QtConcurrent to perform searches in background threads,
since it is not safe to use with QObjects
- instead manually create threads and ensure that cloned objects
are always moved to the thread that they will run in, to ensure
that they correctly have thread affinity with the thread in which
they are executed
All user settings/plugins, etc are now loaded from APPDATA for each
platform and no longer .qgis3 and are isolated from each other.
This allows for different profiles depending on what the user of QGIS
needs, e.g test, prod, demo, etc
Profile menu allows for switching between profiles, or creating new
ones.
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)
