The old behaviour was always to just redraw the layer, without
refreshing data. This was by design, as the feature was originally
developed to allow animated layers which needed to be regular,
quickly redrawn.
But there's also a use case for automatically refetching layer
data on a regular interval too. So now we expose a choice
of mode for the automatic refresh for users to decided which
is appropriate for their requirements.
The options are:
- "Reload Data": The layer will be completely refreshed. Any cached
data will be discarded and refetched from the provider. This mode
may result in slower map refreshes.
- "Redraw Layer Only": This mode is useful for animation or when
the layer's style will be updated at regular intervals. Canvas
updates are deferred in order to avoid refreshing multiple times
if more than one layer has an auto update interval set.
The changes are all wrapped up in a new reusable widget, so that
we can easily expose this setting for non vector/raster layers
if we want to in future.

In most cases of use of QGIS Server, it is not necessary to access the layers in write mode.
The read-only mode is sufficient.
We would like to introduce a new flag Qgis::ProjectReadFlag::ForceLayerReadOnly to
open layers in a read-only mode.
A group layer is a map layer which consists of a set of
child layers, where all component layers are rendered as a single
flattened object during map renders.
This commit sets up the base framework for QgsGroupLayer only
(i.e. no rendering changes).
to annotation layers to reflect that while these are editable
users are not able to toggle edits on them (they are ALWAYS
editable!)
Note that we can't use the existing QgsMapLayer::LayerFlag enum here,
as that has a different meaning (flags which are set by users
at runtime)
configuration is set when changing a vector layer's style preset
This causes the layer styling dock to update before the layer's
new labeling settings are set, so the dock shows the incorrect
label settings for the previously used style
Fixes#42310
In QgsVectorLayer, it is possible through the flag trust layer metadata to use extent read in XML
instead of extent provided by the provider.
The QgsMapLayer::ReadFlag::FlagReadExtentFromXml can be used inlayer readXML to read Extent from XML for raster, point cloud and other layers.
