Remove QgsAbstractProperty and subclasses, and instead use a single
QgsProperty class which covers the use of QgsAbstractProperty
and its subclasses. This simplifies the API and avoids pointer
handling. QgsProperty is implicitly shared for memory efficiency
and inexpensive copies.
- rename methods with XML to Xml, CRS to Crs, WMS to Wms, ID to Id
- rename methods with SRS to Crs
- rename methods with abbreviations like "dest" to "destination"
- rename methods with abbreviations like "src" to "source"
QString methods
Using single quotes is a significant performance boost. Rough
benchmarks indicate the QString single quote methods take
about 15% of the time the double quote variants take.
Rationale:
- there was a lot of large objects passed by value, so potentially
there's a speed bump from this
- even for implicitly shared classes like QString/QList there's still
a (small) cost for copying the objects when there's no reason to
- it's the right thing to do!
* .gitignore sort and remove duplicates
* show more warnings in tests
* add/update masks for rendering checks on windows
* fix delimited text provider tests
* disable QgsLogger and QgsPalLabelingServer on windows
- New class QgsComposerObject, which both QgsComposerItem and QgsComposerMultiFrame
derive from. This class contains the framework for data defined composition properties.
- New class QgsComposerUtils, containing helpful static functions previously in QgsComposerItem
- Test suites for data defined settings in QgsComposerObject and functions in QgsComposerUtils
