All pointer based methods have been removed.
Now we have only:
void setGeometry( const QgsGeometry& geom )
and
QgsGeometry geometry() const
Benefits include avoiding a whole lot of tricky pointer lifetime
issues, potential memory leaks, and finally closing #777, which
has survived for over 9 years!...
Impacts on PyQGIS code:
- no more need for the messy
g = QgsGeometry( feature.geometry() )
workaround, just use g = feature.geometry() instead
- IMPORTANT: you can no longer test whether a feature has geometry
using `if f.geometry():`, since QgsFeature::geometry() will
*always* return an object. Instead, use
`if not f.geometry().isEmpty():`, or preferably the new method
`if not f.hasGeometry():`
Fix#777
* pyqtwrappers update (add QtNetwork, QtXml, QtSql, QtTest, uic)
* 2to3 updates
* move QPyNullVariant/NULL to PyQt.QtCore
* add global unicode/basestring/long for Python3
* expand QtGui, QtCore module and star exports
* Qscintilla2
* replace Set import with set builtin
