Allows composer map grid annotations in custom formats which are
evaluated using QgsExpressions. Made possible through the use
of Expression Contexts(tm)!
for attribute tables
This allows users to set differing colors for alternating rows and
columns, first/last row/column and header row. Fixes#5131.

Previously multi-line text would overflow onto neighbouring cells.
Now rows will be expanded to fit required height of text.
Fix#10273.

Adds new data defined control for the map layers to show in a
composer map. Expression result should be a | delimited list of
layer names which will be shown in the map.

Previously map was being redrawn every time a layer was added or
removed from the registry, which blocked the ui until the map
redraw is complete.
Now the map will only be redrawn as a result of layer changes
if it's set to Render mode.
Possible fix for 12234 and 12125. (refs #12234, #12125)
There is a new check box that allows the user to tell whether a map should
keep the layer styles (it will store the state when the check box is checked).
The stored layer styles keep a snapshot of each layer's configuration
instead of just keeping name of the style.
This solves issues with styles and visibility presets in composer which were
not completely compatible.
This code has been funded by Tuscany Region (Italy) - SITA (CIG: 6002233F59)
and commissioned to Gis3W s.a.s.
When layer set is locked in composer map, also the styles associated with layers are kept.
As a result, a composition can contain maps of the same layer just with different styles.
Map settings and map renderer jobs have been improved to support temporary override of layer's style.
It is possible to pass to map settings which layers should have overridden style and map jobs
will temporarily replace the style (just for the rendering).
This change adds a new descending vertical direction mode for
map grid annotations. Previously only ascending text was
supported for vertical annotations.
Previously, for rotated maps or reprojected grids, the composer would
draw all coordinates for every map side. This resulted in a mix of
latitude/y and longitude/x coordinates showing on a side. This change
allows users to control whether they want all coordinates, latitude
only or longitude only for each map frame side. Similar options have
also been added for controlling how a map grid frame is divided.
In related news... the composer map dialog is now the ugliest,
most cluttered and un-user friendly dialog in all of QGIS. I'd
love suggestions/mockups from the UX team for ways this could
be improved.
This allows users to hide the bounding boxes for selected items
within a composition. It's a handy feature for allowing interaction
with items while previewing exactly how they will look when the
composition is exported, without large boxes blocking the view.
If negative margins are set for a label, the label contents will
begin outside the bounds of the label. This is desirable for
aligning label items with other items while allowing for optical
margin alignment for the label type.
Previously only a single margin setting would apply to both
horizontal and vertical margins. This change allows users to specify
different horizontal and vertical margins.
