A "filled marker" is similar to the simple marker symbol layer, except
that it uses a fill sub symbol to render the marker. This allows use
of all the existing QGIS fill (and outline) styles for rendering
markers, eg gradient or shapeburst fills.
A new abstract class QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerBase has been created
from which both QgsSimpleMarkerSymbolLayerV2 and
QgsFilledMarkerSymbolLayer derive. All common code has been moved to
this base class, allowing for easy addition of new shapes or features
to both simple markers and filled markers without duplication.
Also, adds a lot of missing docs to marker symbol layers.
The original name was not representative for the scope of the class
and misleading at best.
The class manages actions for a given layer and it's not a single action
like the former name suggested.
There is a typedef introduced to keep it in the API until we can remove
it with QGIS 3.
When enabled, repeating locks are not automatically cleared when
a new point is added. They are handy when the same constraint
must be repeated for multiple points (eg adding vertices
which are always 50 meters apart)
(fix#12605)
constraint is locked
The previous behaviour was that the constraint had to be "relocked"
if the user manually altered the constraint value in the text
widgets. Now users can edit the constraint value after already
locking the constraint.
Usually QObjects must subclass and override methods like focusOutEvent
to handle focus events. Using this class as an event filter avoids
the need to subclass objects and the focus events can be directly
caught using the emitted signals.
This change allows the attributes of multiple features to be edited
simultaneously. It is enabled when the attribute table dialog is in
"form mode", via a new "multi edit" button on the toolbar.
In this mode, attribute value changes will apply to all selected
features. New widgets appear next to each editor widget allowing for
display of the current multi-edit state and for rolling back changes
on a field-by-field basis.
Changes are made as a single edit command, so pressing undo will
rollback the attribute changes for all selected features at once.
Multiedit mode is only available for auto generated and drag and
drop forms - it is not supported by custom ui forms.

and new widget QgsComposerItemComboBox for showing matching composer
items.
Swap existing comboboxes to use the new widget, which removes a lot
of fragile code designed to allow selection of items. Additionally
the combobox now show the correct item id rather than always showing
"Map 0/1/..."
Using this renderer no symbol will be drawn for features, but labeling,
diagrams and other non-symbol parts will still be shown.
Selections can still be made on the layer in the canvas and selected
features will be rendered with a default symbol. Features being edited
will also be shown.
This is intended as a handy shortcut for layers which you only want
to show labels or diagrams for, and avoids the need to render
symbols with totally transparent fill/border to achieve this.

Those two fields are present in the vector layer properties. It
was possible to set a minScale bigger than the maxScale.
Now, the maxScale is forced to minScale if the user tries to
set it to a lower value.
ton of available area units (eg m2, km2, mi2, ft2, yd2, ha, ac,
etc)
Adds a new option in both the QGIS setting and project properties to
set the units used for area measurements. Just like the distance
setting, this defaults to the units set in QGIS options, but can
then be overridden for specific projects.
The setting is respected for area calculations in:
- Attribute table field update bar
- Field calculator calculations
- Identify tool derived length and perimeter values
Also adds unit tests to ensure that area calculated by attribute table
update bar, field calculator and identify tool are consistent wrt
ellipsoidal calculations and area units.
TODO: make measure tool respect area setting
(refs #13209, #4252 and fixes#12939, #2402, #4857)
Adds a new option in project properties to set the units used for
distance measurements. This setting defaults to the units set in
QGIS options, but can then be overridden for specific projects.
The setting is respected for length and perimeter calculations in:
- Attribute table field update bar
- Field calculator calculations
- Identify tool derived length and perimeter values
- Default unit shown in measure dialog
Also adds unit tests to ensure that length and perimeter calculated
by attribute table update bar, field calculator and identify tool
are consistent wrt ellipsoidal calculations and distance units.

copy/= operators or making them private
This revealed (and fixes) some issues, including a potential crash
using server access control (refs #13919), and a potential crash with
diagrams
* Move height and angle expressions for 2.5D renderer to layer
* Apply color based on main symbol color
This makes the transition to other renderers easy.
Fixes#14132
