<h2>Whats new in Version 0.9?</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Python bindings - This is the major focus of this release
|
|
it is now possible to create plugins using python. It is also
|
|
possible to create GIS enabled applications written in python
|
|
that use the QGIS libraries.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Removed automake build system - QGIS now needs CMake for compilation.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Many new GRASS tools added (with thanks to http://faunalia.it/)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Map Composer updates
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Crash fix for 2.5D shapefiles
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The QGIS libraries have been refactored and better organised.
|
|
</li>
|

<dl><dt><span class="subheader">Special Requirements
|
|
<ul class="normal">
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/index">Qt 4.2.2</a> is required.
|
|
<li>The <a href="http://expat.sourceforge.net/">Expat XML Parser</a> is required for the GPS plugin. This vastly improves the speed and memory management when loading GPX files.
|
|
<li>The raster georeferencer plugin requires the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/">GNU Scientfic Library</a> (GSL).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<span class="normal">
|
|
GSL and Expat are optional and required only if you want to use the georeferencer or GPS plugins respectively. SQLite is always required.

General
|

<ul class="normal">
|
|
<li>Project files from previous versions of QGIS will likely not work.
|
|
<li>Some internationalization (translation) files may be incomplete.
|
|
<li>QGIS is not bug free - we make no assertions as to its fitness for
|
|
use for any particular purpose. Use entirely at your own risk.
