above a layout.
Supports setting another widget as a anchor point for the widget, eg
the floating widget could be set so that it's always placed to the
top-right of the anchor widget.
Adds new classes:
- QgsTask. An interface for long-running background tasks
- QgsTaskManager. Handles groups of tasks - also available as a global
instance for tracking application wide tasks
- QgsTaskManagerWidget. A list view for showing active tasks and their
progress, and for cancelling them
A new dock widget has been added with a task manager widget showing
global tasks
Instead of copyign a pre-existing .db shipped with QGIS, create
a new .db and import an .xml file containing our default symbols.
On the UX front, the main benefit is being able to ship with
pre-defined tags and favorite flags for the default symbols.
On the developer side, it means we get rid of the requirement
to maintain both an .xml and a binary .db in the source tree.
We also say aurevoir to the symbol_xml2db.py script and the
need to update the (obsolete) script every time we add a new
feature to QgsStyle.
* Revert "Disable failing PyQgsOfflineEditingWFS test"
This reverts commit 33ee514b5dfdc1b57558cb9007df5b455a59fc17.
* Let lifetime of layers be controlled by QGIS
These may represent additional layers such as layers which
are not included in the map layer registry, or paths to
layers which have not yet been loaded into QGIS.
literal defaults, and qgis expression defaults) and automatically
handle unique value constraints on layers
Add a new method QgsVectorLayerUtils::createFeature which returns
a new feature which includes all relevant defaults. Any fields
with unique value constraints will be guaranteed to have a value
which is unique for the field.
Currently only in use by the split feature tool.

Returns a new unique attribute value for a layer. For numeric
fields this is the max attribute value + 1, for strings we
attempt to create a unique value by append _1, _2, etc to either
a specified 'seed' value, or failing that to the end of the
value of that field from the first feature in the layer.
a substring from a vector data provider
Base implementation iterates through all features, but
providers can override with optimised versions. Native
implementations for postgres, spatialite and OGR included.
- A new favorite grouping system was added, which the symbols list
widget defaults to
- The selected tag / smartgroup in the symbols list widget now
persists when switching layers (and across sessions)
- The symbols list widget will update the tag / smartgroup combo
box when users add / rename / remove categories
- Users can now directly tag, as well as add to favorites, symbols
while saving those to the style database
- To streamline style management, groups have been removed and
fully replaced by tags
- Tags have been integrated into the import/export user interface
