<h1 id="whats-new-in-version-2.0.1-dufour">What’s new in Version 2.0.1
 | 
						||
‘Dufour’?</h1>
 | 
						||
<p>This is a small bugfix release to address the missing copyright /
 | 
						||
credits for our new splash screen and to update supporting
 | 
						||
documentation. The spanish translation was also updated.</p>
 | 
						||
<h1 id="whats-new-in-version-2.0.0-dufour">What’s new in Version 2.0.0
 | 
						||
‘Dufour’?</h1>
 | 
						||
<p>This is a new major release. Building on the foundation of QGIS 1.x.x
 | 
						||
releases, QGIS Dufour introduces many new features, improvements and bug
 | 
						||
fixes. Here is a summary of some of the key new features.</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>We have updated out icon theme to use the ‘GIS’ theme which
 | 
						||
introduces an improved level of consistency and professionalism to the
 | 
						||
QGIS user interface.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The new symbol layer overview uses a clear, tree-structured layout
 | 
						||
which allows for easy and fast access to all symbol layers.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>QGIS 2.0 now includes Oracle Spatial support.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>With the new data defined properties, it is possible to control
 | 
						||
symbol type, size, color, rotation, and many other properties through
 | 
						||
feature attributes.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>You can now place html elements onto your map.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Having nicely aligned map items is critical to making nice printed
 | 
						||
maps. Auto snapping lines have been added to allow for easy composer
 | 
						||
object alignment by simply dragging an object close to another.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Sometimes you need to align objects a curtain distance on the
 | 
						||
composer. With the new manual snapping lines you are able to add manual
 | 
						||
snap lines which allow for better align objects using a common
 | 
						||
alignment. Simply drag from the top or side ruler to add new guide
 | 
						||
line.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Ever needed to generate a map series? Of course you have. The
 | 
						||
composer now includes built in map series generation using the atlas
 | 
						||
feature. Coverage layers can be points, lines, polygons, and the current
 | 
						||
feature attribute data is available in labels for on the fly value
 | 
						||
replacement.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>A single composer window can now contain more then one page.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The composer label item in 1.8 was quite limited and only allowed a
 | 
						||
single token $CURRENT_DATE to be used. In 2.0 full expression support
 | 
						||
has been added too greater power and control of the final labels.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The map frame now contains the ability to show the extents of
 | 
						||
another map and will update when moved. Using this with the atlas
 | 
						||
generation feature now core in the composer allows for some slick map
 | 
						||
generation. Overview frame style uses the same styling as a normal map
 | 
						||
polygon object so your creativity is never restricted.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Layer blending makes it possible to combine layers in new and
 | 
						||
exciting ways. While in older versions, all you could do was to make the
 | 
						||
layer transparent, you can now choose between much more advanced options
 | 
						||
such as “multiply”, “darken only”, and many more. Blending can be used
 | 
						||
in the normal map view as well as in print composer.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>HTML support has been added map composer label item to give you even
 | 
						||
more control over your final maps. HTML labels support full css styles
 | 
						||
sheets, html, and even JavaScript if you are that way inclined.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The labeling system has been totally overhauled - it now includes
 | 
						||
many new features such as drop shadows, ‘highway shields’, many more
 | 
						||
data bound options, and various performance enhancements. We are slowly
 | 
						||
doing away with the ‘old labels’ system, although you will still find
 | 
						||
that functionality available for this release, you should expect that it
 | 
						||
will disappear in a follow up release.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The full power of normal label and rule expressions can now be used
 | 
						||
for label properties. Nearly every property can be defined with an
 | 
						||
expression or field value giving you more control over the label result.
 | 
						||
Expressions can refer to a field (e.g. set the font size to the value of
 | 
						||
the field ‘font’) or can include more complex logic. Examples of
 | 
						||
bindable properties include: Font, Size, Style and Buffer size.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>With the expression engine being used more and more though out QGIS
 | 
						||
to allow for things like expression based labels and symbol, many more
 | 
						||
functions have been added to the expression builder and are all
 | 
						||
accessible though the expression builder. All functions include
 | 
						||
comprehensive help and usage guides for ease of use.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>If the expression engine doesn’t have the function that you need.
 | 
						||
Not to worry. New functions can be added via a plugin using a simple
 | 
						||
Python API.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The Python API has been revamped to allow for a more cleaner, more
 | 
						||
pythonic, programming experience. The QGIS 2.0 API uses SIP V2 which
 | 
						||
removes the messy toString(), toInt() logic that was needed when working
 | 
						||
with values. Types are now converted into native Python types making for
 | 
						||
a much nicer API. Attributes access is now done on the feature itself
 | 
						||
using a simple key lookup, no more index lookup and attribute maps.
 | 
						||
**Note:*- Most plugins written for QGIS < 1.x will need to be ported
 | 
						||
to work correctly in QGIS 2.x. Please consult
 | 
						||
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Python_plugin_API_changes_from_18_to_20
 | 
						||
for more details.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The raster data provider system has been completely overhauled. One
 | 
						||
of the best new features stemming from this work is the ability to
 | 
						||
‘Layer -> Save As…’ to save any raster layer as a new layer. In the
 | 
						||
process you can clip, resample, and reproject the layer to a new
 | 
						||
Coordinate Reference System. You can also save a raster layer as a
 | 
						||
rendered image so if you for example have single band raster that you
 | 
						||
have applied a color palette to, you can save the rendered layer out to
 | 
						||
a georeferenced RGB layer.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>There are many, many more new features in QGIS 2.0 - we invite you
 | 
						||
to explore the software and discover them all!</li>
 | 
						||

<h1 id="whats-new-in-version-1.8.0-lisboa">What’s new in Version 1.8.0
 | 
						||
‘Lisboa’?</h1>
 | 
						||
<p>This is a new feature release. Building on the foundation of QGIS
 | 
						||
1.7.x releases, Lisboa introduces many new features, improvements and
 | 
						||
bug fixes. Here is a summary of some of the key new features.</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>QGIS Browser - a stand alone app and a new panel in QGIS. The
 | 
						||
browser lets you easily navigate your file system and connection based
 | 
						||
(PostGIS, WFS etc.) datasets, preview them and drag and drop items into
 | 
						||
the canvas.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>DB Manager - the DB manager is now officially part of QGIS core. You
 | 
						||
can drag layers from the QGIS Browser into DB Manager and it will import
 | 
						||
your layer into your spatial database. Drag and drop tables between
 | 
						||
spatial databases and they will get imported. You can use the DB Manager
 | 
						||
to execute SQL queries against your spatial database and then view the
 | 
						||
spatial output for queries by adding the results to QGIS as a query
 | 
						||
layer.</li>

						||
<li>Action Tool - now there is a tool on the map tools toolbar that will
 | 
						||
allow you to click on a vector feature and execute an action.</li>

 | 
						||
Server spatial databases using QGIS.</li>

<li>GPS Tracking - The GPS live tracking user interface was overhauled
 | 
						||
and many fixes and improvements were added to it.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Menu Re-organisation - The menus were re-organised a little - we now
 | 
						||
have separate menus for Vector and Raster and many plugins were updated
 | 
						||
to place their menus in the new Vector and Raster top level menus.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Offset Curves - a new digitizing tool for creating offset curves was
 | 
						||
added.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Terrain Analysis Plugin - a new core plugin was added for doing
 | 
						||
terrain analysis - and it can make really good looking colored relief
 | 
						||
maps.</li>

<li>Ellipse renderer - symbollayer to render ellipse shapes (and also
 | 
						||
rectangles, triangles, crosses by specifying width and height).

<h1 id="whats-new-in-version-1.7.0-wroclaw">What’s new in Version 1.7.0
 | 
						||
‘Wroclaw’?</h1>
 | 
						||
<p>This release is named after the town of Wroclaw in Poland. The
 | 
						||
Department of Climatology and Atmosphere Protection, University of
 | 
						||
Wroclaw kindly hosted our developer meeting in November 2010. Please
 | 
						||
note that this is a release in our ‘cutting edge’ release series. As
 | 
						||
such it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface
 | 
						||
over QGIS 1.0.x and QGIS 1.6.0. As with any software, there may be bugs
 | 
						||
and issues that we were not able to fix in time for the release. We
 | 
						||
therefore recommend that you test this version before rolling it out
 | 
						||
en-masse to your users.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>This release includes over 277 bug fixes and many new features and
 | 
						||
enhancements. Once again it is impossible to document everything here
 | 
						||
that has changed so we will just provide a bullet list of key new
 |

<h1 id="whats-new-in-version-1.4.0-enceladus">What’s new in Version
 | 
						||
1.4.0 ‘Enceladus’?</h1>
 | 
						||
<p>Please note that this is a release in our ‘cutting edge’ release
 | 
						||
series. As such it contains new features and extends the programmatic
 | 
						||
interface over QGIS 1.0.x and QGIS 1.3.0. If an unchanging user
 | 
						||
interface, programmatic API and long term support is more important to
 | 
						||
you then cool new and untested features, we recommend that you use a
 | 
						||
copy of QGIS from our Long Term Support (LTS)1.0.x release series. In
 | 
						||
all other cases we recommend that you use this version.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>This release includes around 200 bug fixes, nearly 30 new features
 | 
						||
and has had a lot of love and attention poured into it to take our
 | 
						||
favorite desktop GIS application another step on the road to GIS
 | 
						||
nirvana! So much has happened in the 3 months since our last release
 | 
						||
that it is impossible to document everything here. Instead we will just
 | 
						||
highlight a couple of important new features for you.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Probably the biggest new feature is the addition of the new vector
 | 
						||
symbology infrastructure. This is provided alongside the old
 | 
						||
implementation - you can switch using a button in the vector layer
 | 
						||
properties dialog. It doesn’t replace the old symbology implementation
 | 
						||
completely yet because there are various isues that need to be resolved
 | 
						||
and a large amount of testinhen it is considered ready.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>QGIS now has a field calculator, accessible via a button in the
 | 
						||
attribute section of the vector properties, and from the attribute table
 | 
						||
user interface. You can use feature length, feature area, string
 | 
						||
concatenation and type conversions in the field calculator, as well as
 | 
						||
field values.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>The map composer has had a lot of attention. A grid can now be added
 | 
						||
to composer maps. Composer maps can now be rotated in the layout. The
 | 
						||
limitation of a single map layout per project has been removed. A new
 | 
						||
composer manager dialog has been added to manage the existing composer
 | 
						||
instances. The composer widget property sheets have been completely
 | 
						||
overhauled to use less screen space</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Various parts of the user interface have been overhauled with the
 | 
						||
goal of improving consistency and to improve support for netbooks and
 | 
						||
other smaller screen devices. Loading and saving of shortcuts. Position
 | 
						||
can now be displayed as Degrees, Minutes, Seconds in the status bar. The
 | 
						||
add, move and delete vertex buttons are now removed and the node tool is
 | 
						||
moved from the advanced editing toolbar to the standard editing toolbar.
 | 
						||
The identification tool has also undergone numerous improvements.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>A render caching capability has been added to QGIS. This speeds up
 | 
						||
common operations such as layer re-ordering, changing symbology, WMS /
 | 
						||
WFS client, hiding / showing layers and opens the door for future
 | 
						||
enhancements such as threaded rendering and pre-compositing layer cache
 | 
						||
manipulation. Note that it is disabled by default, and can be enabled in
 | 
						||
the options dialog.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>User defined SVG search paths are now added to the options
 | 
						||
dialog.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>When creating a new shapefile, you can now specify its CRS. Also the
 | 
						||
avoid intersections option for polygons is now also possible with
 | 
						||
background layers.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>For power users, you can now create customizable attribute forms
 | 
						||
using Qt Designer dialog UIs.</p>

<h1 id="version-1.2.0-daphnis">Version 1.2.0 ‘Daphnis’</h1>
 | 
						||
<p>Please note that this is a release in our ‘cutting edge’ release
 | 
						||
series. As such it contains new features and extends the programmatic
 | 
						||
interface over QGIS 1.0.x. If stability and long term support is more
 | 
						||
important to you then cool new and untested features, we recommend that
 | 
						||
you use a copy of QGIS from our stable 1.0.x release series. This
 | 
						||
release includes over 140 bug fixes and enhancements over the QGIS 1.1.0
 | 
						||
release. In addition we have added the following new features:</p>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="editing">Editing</h2>
 | 
						||
<p>Editing functionality in QGIS has had a major update in this release.
 | 
						||
This includes the addition of new vector editing tools:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>delete part of multipart feature</li>
 | 
						||
<li>delete hole from polygon</li>
 | 
						||
<li>simplify feature</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Added a new “node” tool (in advanced digitizing toolbar).</li>
 | 
						||
<li>New functionality for merging features</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Added undo/redo functionality for vector layer editing.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Added option to show only markers of selected features in editing
 | 
						||
mode.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Change layer’s icon in legend to reflext that the layer is
 | 
						||
editable.</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>In addition, there are undo/redo actions in Edit menu, in Advanced
 | 
						||
digitizing toolbar and there is a new dock widget displaying undo stack
 | 
						||
of active layer.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>About the node tool: It resembles a tool for editing paths by nodes
 | 
						||
that is present in every vector editor. How does it work (in QGIS)?
 | 
						||
Click on a feature, its nodes will be marked by small rectangles.
 | 
						||
Clicking and dragging a node moves it. Double clicking a segment will
 | 
						||
add a new node. Pressing delete key will remove active node. It’s
 | 
						||
possible to select more active nodes at once: by clicking and dragging a
 | 
						||
rectangle. It’s possible to select a segment’s adjacent nodes by
 | 
						||
clicking on the segment. It’s possible to add/remove active nodes by
 | 
						||
using Ctrl when clicking a node or dragging a rectangle</p>
 | 
						||
<p>We recommend that you turn off vertex markers in QGIS options when
 | 
						||
working with this tool: the redraws are much faster and the map is not
 | 
						||
cluttered with markers.</p>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="keyboard-shortcuts">Keyboard shortcuts</h2>
 | 
						||
<p>New feature: configure shortcuts for actions within main window of
 | 
						||
qgis! See menu Setting->Configure shortcuts</p>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="map-composer-1">Map Composer</h2>
 | 
						||
<p>It is now possible to lock/unlock composer item positions by right
 | 
						||
mouse click. The width and height of the composer map will now remain
 | 
						||
fixed if user sets the composer map extent to the map canvas extent.
 | 
						||
possibility to display current date in composer label by typing (d
 | 
						||
‘June’ yyyy) or similar. It is now possible to keep the current layers
 | 
						||
in a composer map even if further layers are added to the main map.
 | 
						||
Export to PDF in composer is now possible.</p>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="attribute-tables">Attribute tables</h2>
 | 
						||
<p>It is now possible to search the attribute table within selected
 | 
						||
records only. General speedups have been made on the attribute table.
 | 
						||
Setting of field width and precision when adding attributes is now
 | 
						||
possible. Handling of attribute types in WFS provider has bee
 | 
						||
improved.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Attribute aliases for vector layers are now available. The aliases
 | 
						||
are shown instead of the original field names in the info tool and
 | 
						||
attribute table to make things easier for end users. There is now a GUI
 | 
						||
for setting edit widgets for layer attributes. A new dialog allows
 | 
						||
loading a value map from a layer (could be non-spatial table too!). The
 | 
						||
edit widgets settings will also now be respected in the attribute
 | 
						||
table.</p>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="plugins-1">Plugins</h2>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>The order of layers in the WMS dialog can now be changed.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The eVis plugin, version 1.1.0, has been added to the QGIS project
 | 
						||
and included as a standard plugin. More information about eVis can be
 | 
						||
found here:
 | 
						||
http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/evis/documentation.php
 | 
						||
.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>The interpolation plugin now has the ability to use line layers as
 | 
						||
constrains for triangulation in interpolation plugin. You can also now
 | 
						||
save the triangulation to shape file.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>An new OpenStreetMap provider and plugin have been added to
 | 
						||
QGIS.</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="projects-management">Projects Management</h2>
 | 
						||
<p>QGIS now includes support for project relative position of file data
 | 
						||
sources and svgs. The saving of relative paths of file data sources is
 | 
						||
optional.</p>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="postgis-the-postgresql-provider">PostGIS & the PostgreSQL
 | 
						||
Provider</h2>
 | 
						||
<p>You can now select the SSL mode when adding a new DB connection.
 | 
						||
Turning off SSL encryption can greatly improve performance of PostGIS
 | 
						||
data loading where connection security is not required. Support has been
 | 
						||
added for more native types and for setting of column comments.</p>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="symbology-enhancements">Symbology enhancements</h2>

 | 
						||
mapunits independent of the mapscale)</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<h2 id="command-line-arguments">Command line arguments</h2>
 | 
						||
<p>Added command line argument support on windows. Enhancement of

						||
trunk.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2005-05-23 [gsherman] 0.7rc1 Fixed bookmarks bug related to

 | 
						||
allow compilation on Qt 3.2</li>
 | 
						||

 | 
						||
architecture fixed dependencies of designer-plugin/stuff</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2005-01-29 [gsherman] 0.6.0devel5 Applied patches from M. Loskot for

						||
a build error and missing Q_OBJECT macros in qgsspit.h and
 | 
						||

 | 
						||
<li>2005-01-01 [larsl] 0.6.0devel3 Fixed a bug that crashed QGIS when
 | 
						||
loading rasters from a project file</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-30 [mcoletti] 0.6.0devel2 *Re-factored endian-handling in

						||
<li>Re-factored delimited text provider</li>
 | 
						||
<li>Made some class members const-correct</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-30 [larsl] 0.6.0devel1 Implemented getProjectionWKT() in
 | 
						||
QgsGPXProvider</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-19 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc2 Updated README Added main.cpp so spit
 | 
						||
builds as standalone and plugin. Makefile.am modified so spit binary
 | 
						||
installs in PREFIX dir</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-19 [timlinux] 0.6.0rc2 Added Slovak translation from Lubos
 | 
						||
Balazovic Massive documentation updates Updates to developer pictures
 | 
						||
and the about box</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-19 [mhugent] providers/ogr/qgsshapefileprovider.cpp: fix for
 | 
						||
attribute problem in ogr provider</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-05 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc2 Fixed bug 1079392 that caused QGIS to
 | 
						||
crash when a query was entered that resulted in the layer being created
 | 
						||
with no records. Additional validation of the SQL query was added to the
 | 
						||
query builder. When OK is clicked on the builder dialog, the query is
 | 
						||
sent to the database and the result checked to ensure that it will
 | 
						||
create a valid PostreSQL layer. Added tr to a number of strings that
 | 
						||
weren’t prepared for translation in the vector dialog properties code
 | 
						||
Created QgsDataSourceURI structure to hold all the pertinent information
 | 
						||
associated with a PostgreSQL layer connection, including host, database,
 | 
						||
table, geometry column, username, password, port, and sql where
 | 
						||
clause.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-03 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc1 Commented out excessive debug
 | 
						||
statements in the postgres provider</li>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-03 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc1 Changing the SQL query for a
 | 
						||
PostgreSQL layer using the query builder from the vector layer
 | 
						||
properties dialog now properly updates the mapcanvas extents and feature
 | 
						||
count. Fix for crash in pg buffer plugin (bug 1077412). Crash is due to
 | 
						||
the addition of sql where clause support in the postgres provider. The
 | 
						||
provider was not checking to see if a sql key was included in the
 | 
						||
datasource uri and thus copying the entire URI as the where clause. The
 | 
						||
.shp extension is now added the new vector layer name (if not specified
 | 
						||
by the user). The .qgs extension is now added to a project file when
 | 
						||
using save or save as (if not specified by the user).</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<h1 id="version-0.5">Version 0.5</h1>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>2004-12-01 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel30 Added functions to
 | 
						||
qgsdataprovider.h to support updating the feature count and extents. To
 | 
						||
be supported, these functions must be implemented in the data provider
 | 
						||
implementation. The default implementations don’t do anything
 | 
						||
useful.</li>
 | 
						||
<li>QgsVectorLayer now has functions for requesting feature count,
 | 
						||
extent update, and the subset defintiion string (usually sql) from the
 | 
						||
underlying data provider. Providers do not need to implement these
 | 
						||
functions unless they want to support subsetting the layer via a layer
 | 
						||
definition query or other means.</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-27 [larsl] 0.5.0devel30 Fixed feature addition in GPX layers,
 | 
						||
it now works again</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-22 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel29 QgsProject properties now
 | 
						||
re-designed to be similar to QSettings</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-20 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel28 Added the capability to interrupt
 | 
						||
the rendering of the currently drawing map layer by pressing the escape
 | 
						||
key. Repeat and rinse to interrupt drawing of all vector layers. Not
 | 
						||
implemented for raster layers yet.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel27 First pass at a PostgreSQL query
 | 
						||
builder. This is not entirely functional yet. Fields for a table are
 | 
						||
displayed and sample or all values can be displayed. Double-clicking on
 | 
						||
a field name or sample value pastes it into the sql query box at the
 | 
						||
current cursor position. The test function is not implemented yet nor is
 | 
						||
the type checking to allow auto quoting of text values in the sql
 | 
						||
statement.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-19 [mcoletti] 0.5.devel26 Changed QgsProject properties
 | 
						||
interface to be more similar to QSettings. New properties are emitted to
 | 
						||
file. There is a known bug with QStringLists in that thre’re redundant
 | 
						||
copies written to the file. New properties aren’t read yet. Will be
 | 
						||
adding code for that over next couple days.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-17 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel25 Added a little checkbox to the
 | 
						||
bottom right of status bar that when checked will suppress rendering of
 | 
						||
layers in main canvas and overview canvas, This is useful if you want to
 | 
						||
load a bunch of layers and tweak their symbology etc without having
 | 
						||
delays caused by rerendering everything after each change you make.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-16 [larsl] 0.5.0devel24 Reimplemented nextFeature() so
 | 
						||
features are visible again</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-13 [larsl] 0.5.0devel23 Changed QgsIdentifyResults and
 | 
						||
QgsVectorLayer to show all attributes automatically (expand the feature
 | 
						||
node) if only one feature is identified</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel22 Added ifdef’s for WIN32 around
 | 
						||
dynamic_casts in the vector renderer dialogs. Even though rtti is
 | 
						||
enabled, use of dynamic casts causes seg faults under WIN32.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-09 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel21 Added options to graticule builder
 | 
						||
to allow you to define origin and endpoints and to set the graticule
 | 
						||
size at < 1 degree. Note that there is little error checking in there
 | 
						||
still, so putting in dodgy numbers may cause qgis to crash.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-04 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel20 Added scale dependent visibility
 | 
						||
support to both raster and vector layers.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-11-02 [larsl] 0.5.0devel19 Added menu item for creating an empty
 | 
						||
GPX file</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-31 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel18 Fix bug #1047002 (label buffer
 | 
						||
enabled / disabled checkbox not working)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-30 [larsl] 0.5.0devel17 qgsfeature.h is needed in
 | 
						||
qgsvectordataprovider.cpp since it’s deleting a QgsFeature, fixed it</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-29 [larsl] 0.5.0devel16 Added defaultValue() in
 | 
						||
QgsVectorLayer and QgsVectorDataProvider, implemented it in the GPX
 | 
						||
provider</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-29 [stevehalasz] 0.5.0devel15 - Write layers to projects
 | 
						||
files in the proper order by iterating over the zOrder in the map
 | 
						||
canvas. Fixes bug #1054332.</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>Remove the <zorder> tag from the dtd. It is superfluous.</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-26 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel13 regarding saving and restoring
 | 
						||
units in project files. made many minor bug fixes and tidying up</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-22 [larsl] 0.5.0devel12 Removed more unused code in the GPS
 | 
						||
plugin, changed the GPS plugin source to follow the coding standards
 | 
						||
better</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-22 [larsl] 0.5.0devel11 Some changes in the GPS plugin: -
 | 
						||
Changed the tooltip of the action from “GPS Importer” to “GPS Tools” -
 | 
						||
Removed some old unused code - Made the upload/download tools much more
 | 
						||
flexible by letting users specifying “devices” with upload and download
 | 
						||
commands - Remember the last used device and port for uploads and
 | 
						||
downloads - Remember the last directory that a GPX file was loaded
 | 
						||
from</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-20 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel10 merged in qgsproject-branch</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-19 [larsl] 0.5.0devel9 Changed GPX attribute names from three
 | 
						||
letter abbreviations to more userfriendly whole words</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-19 [larsl] 0.5.0devel8 Changed mFeatureType in
 | 
						||
qgsgpxprovider.cpp from a QString to an enum to avoid unnecessary string
 | 
						||
comparisons</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-18 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel7 Added test for GEOS to acinclude.m4
 | 
						||
and configure.in Added members/methods in preparation for support of
 | 
						||
scale dependent rendering Added Display tab to the vector dialog to
 | 
						||
allow setting of min and max scales for rendering</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-18 [larsl] 0.5.0devel6 Removed duplicate code, added bounds
 | 
						||
calculation for digitized features in the GPX provider</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-18 [larsl] 0.5.0devel5 Changes to the GPX provider: -
 | 
						||
Implemented isEditable(), isModified(), commitChanges(), and rollBack()
 | 
						||
- Removed the useless lat and lon attributes in waypoint features -
 | 
						||
Cleaned up the attribute parsing in addFeature() GPX editing should now
 | 
						||
work again.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-17 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel4 OGR provider now uses GEOS to
 | 
						||
select features when doing identify and select operations.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-16 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel3 Fixed OGR filters in the add layer
 | 
						||
dialog box using fix in qgsproject-branch Reverted images in
 | 
						||
qgisappbase.ui to XPM so QGIS will compile on Qt < 3.x</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel2 Added man page (qgis.man) that gets
 | 
						||
installed in man1 as qgis.1</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-10-09 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel1 Changed name to Simon Added Simon
 | 
						||
splash screen Fixed command line loading bug to eliminate bogus warning
 | 
						||
for vector layers Modified splashscreen.cpp to allow specification of
 | 
						||
x,y for text drawing on the splash image Imperfectly fixed problem where
 | 
						||
PostGIS attributes aren’t displayed if the primary key is not of type
 | 
						||
int4 (bug 1042706). Added Latvian translation file (untranslated at
 | 
						||
present)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-23 [larsl] 0.4.0devel38 Removed support for loading
 | 
						||
Geocaching.com LOC files</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-20 [tim] 0.4.0devel37 Shameless acknowledge not keeping this
 | 
						||
file up to date! Sort out clipping problems with labeller</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel36 Added the element definition of
 | 
						||
uniquevaluemarker to qgis.dtd</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel35 Re-fixed bug 987874, the provider
 | 
						||
will now skip geometry-less features but keep reading other features</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel34 Fixed bug 987874 which caused QGIS to
 | 
						||
crash when showing the attribute table for shapefile layers with
 | 
						||
features with NULL geometry (GetGeometryRef() returns NULL) - the OGR
 | 
						||
provider now treats features with NULL geometry as NULL features,
 | 
						||
i.e. EOF</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-15 [larsl] 0.4.0devel33 Fixed QgsUValMaDialogBase so the
 | 
						||
listbox doesn’t take up all of the space</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-14 [larsl] 0.4.0devel32 Added the SVG icons in
 | 
						||
src/svg/gpsicons</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-13 [larsl] 0.4.0devel31 Added the unique value marker
 | 
						||
renderer</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel30 Scale down SVG symbols Display
 | 
						||
rasters without geotransform info as “1 pixel = 1 unit”</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel29 Fixed bug in scale_bar plugin that
 | 
						||
would cause QGIS to freeze when a layer with one point was loaded</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel28 The device lists in the GPS plugin
 | 
						||
should show /dev/ttyUSB- devices too now (for serial USB adapters) on
 | 
						||
Linux</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-08 [larsl] 0.4.0devel27 Fixed bug that crashed QGIS when the
 | 
						||
user selected records in the attribute table for a layer that used the
 | 
						||
single marker renderer</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel26 Start of new qgs project file
 | 
						||
class. Obviously work-in-progress.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Committed for back-up sanity and to elicit comments from the
 | 
						||
bored.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel25 QgsRect :</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>no longer waste copy of QgsPoint in ctor</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel23 Moved plugin toolbar to the
 | 
						||
qgisappbase toolbar container rather than dynamically allocating it.
 | 
						||
This allows the state/docking position gets restored each time the app
 | 
						||
starts.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-26 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel22 qgisapp.cpp:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>fixed bug 1017079, where loading projects would cause app to
 | 
						||
crash</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>qgsprojectio.cpp:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>minor code change; commented out superfluous code</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-26 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel21 Now explicitly check for command
 | 
						||
line arguments via $# instead of $@. Using $@ caused the script to crash
 | 
						||
when more than one command line argument was passed in. (E.g.,
 | 
						||
specifying multiple files for CVS commits.)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-25 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel20 Now explicitly use
 | 
						||
QgsMapLayerRegistry instance instead of data members. (Of which two both
 | 
						||
referred to the same instance.)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-25 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel19 Deleted two data members that
 | 
						||
referred to the Singleton object QgsMapLayerRegistry. Now explicitly use
 | 
						||
QgsMapLayerRegistry::instance(), which emphasizes that you’re accessing
 | 
						||
a Singleton.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel18 Fixed a bug that caused SVG markers
 | 
						||
to be huge when oversampling was turned on</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel17 Fixed transparency in SVG sumbols</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-21 [larsl] 0.4.0devel16 Added a black frame around the white
 | 
						||
rectangle around SVG symbols to make it look cleaner, can be removed
 | 
						||
when transparency is fixed</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel15 Added more attribute fields to the
 | 
						||
GPX provider: cmt, desc, src, sym, number, urlname</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel14 Forgot to calculate bounds for
 | 
						||
user-added routes and tracks in the GPX provider, which caused
 | 
						||
unpredictable drawing bugs since selection wouldn’t work. Fixed.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel13 Moved common toobar icons to
 | 
						||
drop-down tool menus. This includes the overview, hide/show all, and
 | 
						||
capture tools</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-18 [jobi] 0.4.0devel12 added Italian translation thanx to
 | 
						||
Maurizio Napolitano updated all translations</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel11 Implemented GPX file writing - GPX
 | 
						||
layers are now written back to file when features are added</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel10 - More digitizing support for the GPX
 | 
						||
provider. Routes and tracks can now be created. Nothing is written to
 | 
						||
file yet.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel9 Added mouse wheel zoom. Moving
 | 
						||
wheel forward zooms in by a factor of 2.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-08-12 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel8 Rearranged capture icons and added
 | 
						||
them to the MapNavigation action group so that the icons remain
 | 
						||
depressed while the tool is active. (bugs 994274 and 994272) Fixed
 | 
						||
preferences bug (992458) that caused themes to disappear when setting
 | 
						||
options.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-07-19 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel7 Fixed broken setDisplayField
 | 
						||
function in qgsvectorlayer Added display/label field handling. Field is
 | 
						||
now set when the layer is added by examining the fields and attempting
 | 
						||
to make a “smart” choice. The user can later change this field from the
 | 
						||
layer properties dialog. This field is used as the item name in the
 | 
						||
identify box (top of the tree for each feature and its attributes) and
 | 
						||
will eventually be used in labeling features. Cleanup of postgres add
 | 
						||
layer dialog Removed excessive debug output from qgsfeature</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-07-18 [larsl] 0.4.0devel6 Changed Graduated Marker renderer to
 | 
						||
use the SVG cache</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-07-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel5 Added SVG cache and started using it
 | 
						||
in the Single Marker renderer</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-07-10 [larsl] 0.4.0devel4 Added code to QgsProjectIo that saves
 | 
						||
and loads the provider key of a vector layer in the project file, so
 | 
						||
delimited text layers and GPX layers can be saved in a project. Haven’t
 | 
						||
tested for grass vector layers, but it should work.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-07-09 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel3 First pass at defining PostgreSQL
 | 
						||
layers using a where clause in the data provider. UI may need some work.
 | 
						||
When adding a PG layer, double- click on the layer name to define the
 | 
						||
where clause. Do not include the where keyword 2004-07-05 [ts]
 | 
						||
0.4.0devel2 Added option for forcing redraw when adding a raster -
 | 
						||
intended for use by plugins.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-07-05 [larsl] 0.4.0devel1 Moved lots of code from PluginGui to
 | 
						||
Plugin in the GPS plugin, use signals and slots for communication</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-30 [jobi] 0.3.0devel58 made ready for release added interface
 | 
						||
version for libqgis</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-28 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel57 Overview extent rectangle bug fix
 | 
						||
Patch (from strk) for PG layer extent calculation QgsActetate-
 | 
						||
documentation updates</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-28 [jobi] 0.3.0devel56 fix bug #981159 cleaned warnings</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-28 [ts] 0.3.0devel55 Added show/hide all layers buttons and
 | 
						||
menu items</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-27 [larsl] 0.3.0devel54 Enabled GPS upload code again</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-27 [ts] 0.3.0devel53 Numerous bug fixes and cleanups. Added
 | 
						||
remove all layers from overview button.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-26 [ts] 0.3.0devel52 Extents are now correctly restored when
 | 
						||
project is loaded</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-24 [ts] 0.3.0devel51 Completion of projection fixes to freeze
 | 
						||
canvas and restore zorder correctly. Small issue with restoring extents
 | 
						||
properly needs to be resolved still.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-23 [mcoletti] 0.3.0devel50 Fixed bug whereby one couldn’t
 | 
						||
downcast from QgsMapLayer- to a QgsVectorLayer*. Apparently this was
 | 
						||
because dlopen()’d files didn’t have full access to global variables.
 | 
						||
Now plug-ins can use global variable by linking with -rdynamic and using
 | 
						||
dlopen()’s RTLD_GLOBAL flag.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel49</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Revised raster stats emitting of progress update to not do it when
 | 
						||
stats are fetched from cache. QGisApp progress bar now updates as each
 | 
						||
layer is rendered in the mapCanvas.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Some minor updates to projection</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-21 [larsl] 0.3.0devel48 Hooked up the GPS gui to code that
 | 
						||
uses gpsbabel to import lots of GPS file formats to GPX</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-21 [jobi] 0.3.0devel47 Added check for wrong UI version to
 | 
						||
make release fixed wrong versions and DOS endlines</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel46</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Got tired of always resetting my gidbase dir every time qgis restarts
 | 
						||
- added it to qsettings.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel45</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Complete buffering so that bar as well as text will be visible on
 | 
						||
both light and dark surfaces.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel44</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Fix for bug [ 973922 ] Overview shows layers in wrong order</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Fixed show stopper bug where maplayerregistry wasn’t being cleared
 | 
						||
properly on file new</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added setZOrder which will be used in next commit to fix projection
 | 
						||
zorder problem</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-20 [ts] 0.3.0devel43</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Fix annoying ‘mapcanvas isn’t freezing while loading rasters’ bug</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-19 [ts] 0.3.0devel42</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Add white buffer around scalebar text…buffer around lines to
 | 
						||
come…</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-18 [larsl] 0.3.0devel41 Added an option for setting the
 | 
						||
length of the scale bar to closest integer < 10 times power of 10</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel40</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Win32 support for package path - which will hopefully ensure pyramid
 | 
						||
and overview mini icons are displayed on legend entry now.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Beginnings of generic vector file writer - incomplete and doesn’t do
 | 
						||
anything useful yet except has ability to make a shapefile with a couple
 | 
						||
of user defined fields e.g. to create a new point shapefile:</p>
 | 
						||
<pre><code>QgsVectorFileWriter myFileWriter("/tmp/test.shp", wkbPoint);
 | 
						||
if (myFileWriter.initialise())  //#spellok
 | 
						||
{
 | 
						||
myFileWriter.createField("TestInt",OFTInteger,8,0);
 | 
						||
myFileWriter.createField("TestRead",OFTReal,8,3);
 | 
						||
myFileWriter.createField("TestStr",OFTString,255,0);
 | 
						||
myFileWriter.writePoint(&theQgsPoint);
 | 
						||
</code></pre>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-16 [larsl] 0.3.0devel40 Added skeleton code for importing
 | 
						||
other GPS file formats using GPSBabel</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel39 Added small icon displayed on raster
 | 
						||
legend showing whether this layer is in overview or not. This icon needs
 | 
						||
“petification!”. Need to do the ame for vector once I figure out where
 | 
						||
to put the code!’</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel38 Added new menu / toolbar option to add
 | 
						||
all loaded layers into the overview.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-15 [larsl] 0.3.0devel37 More preparation for GPS upload code
 | 
						||
New function in QgisInterface - getLayerRegistry()</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-14 [ts] 0.3.0devel36 Added capability for plugins to clear
 | 
						||
the current project ignoring the project dirty flag (ie force new
 | 
						||
project).</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-14 [ts] 0.3.0devel35 Added addRasterLayer(QgsRasterLayer *)
 | 
						||
to the plugin interface. This allows plugins to construct their own
 | 
						||
raster object, set its symbolisation and the pass it over to the app to
 | 
						||
be loaded into the canvas.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel34 Removed gdal deps in qgisapp.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Moved raster load stuff to a group at the end of qgisapp.cpp
 | 
						||
file.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Removed generically usable raster fns from qgisapp to static methods
 | 
						||
of qgsrasterlayer.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Some renaming of variable names etc.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added addRaster(QgsRasterLayer *) private method to qgisapp - which
 | 
						||
is intended for use via plugins that want to load ‘ready made’ /
 | 
						||
symbolised raster layer into the mapCanvas.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel33</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Globally changed legen item fonts to arial 10pt for consistency with
 | 
						||
rest of ui. Will soft code in qgsoptions in next release.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel32 Add version name to splash</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel31 Implemented a new map cursor type :
 | 
						||
Capture Point (little pencil icon on your toolbar). At the moment
 | 
						||
clicking on the map in capture point mode will cause QgsMapCanvas to
 | 
						||
emit an xyClickCoordinate(QgsPoint) signal which is picked up by qgisapp
 | 
						||
and the coordinates are placed into the system clipboard.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>In release 0.5 this will be extended to provide simple point vector
 | 
						||
file data capture / digitizing facility. This will be implemented by
 | 
						||
means of a plugin which will utilize the aforementioned
 | 
						||
xyClickCoordinate(QgsPoint) signal.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-12 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel30 Windows support – lots of
 | 
						||
changes</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-11 [larsl] 0.3.0devel29 Let the user choose GPS protocol and
 | 
						||
feature type to download</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-10 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel28 Added display of extent rectangle
 | 
						||
in the overview map. Current implementation is not optimized (requires
 | 
						||
repaint of the overview canvas to display updated rectangle) Added
 | 
						||
acetate layer support to the map canvas. Currently there is only one
 | 
						||
acetate object type - QgsAcetateRectangle, which inherits from
 | 
						||
QgsAcetateObject. More acetate types will follow…</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-10 [ts] 0.3.0devel27 Modified projection (serialisation and
 | 
						||
deserialisation of project files) to use maplayerregistry and not
 | 
						||
mapcanvas.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Implemented state handling of ‘showInOverview’ property in project
 | 
						||
io. 2004-06-10 [petebr] 0.3.0devel26 Tidied up the SPIT gui to match the
 | 
						||
plugin template. Fixed bug in scale bar which displayed the bar the
 | 
						||
wrong size! Fixed all the plugins so they do not do multiple refreshes
 | 
						||
on exit. Added color selection for scale bar.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-09 [mcoletti] 0.3.0devel25 Added support for a feature type
 | 
						||
name in QgsFeature. The GDAL/OGR shape file provider now also provides
 | 
						||
the feature type name.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-09 [petebr] 0.3.0devel24 Added the scale bar plugin. My first
 | 
						||
solo plugin! :-)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-09 [ts] 0.3.0devel23 Added “Show in overview” option to
 | 
						||
vector popup menu.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Removed overview stuff from debug only version of qgisapp.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Did plumbing for enabling disabling layers in overview from popup
 | 
						||
context menu.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Whoopdeedooo. :-)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>All that remains to do now is sort out syncronisation of layer
 | 
						||
ordering between main map canvas and overview canvas.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-09 [ts] 0.3.0devel22 Fixed bug that causes qgis to crash when
 | 
						||
an empty .dbf is encountered. Added transparency slider to raster popup
 | 
						||
menu.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-09 [larsl] 0.3.0devel21 Hid the “GPS download file importer”
 | 
						||
tab</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-08 [larsl] 0.3.0devel20 Call GPSBabel using QProcess instead
 | 
						||
of system(), show a progress bar while GPSBabel is running, show the
 | 
						||
messages printed to GPSBabel’s stderr if something goes wrong</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-08 [larsl] 0.3.0devel19 Started adding GPS data download
 | 
						||
capability. Only tracklogs from Garmin devices for now, routes and
 | 
						||
waypoints and Magellan support will come in the near future.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-08 [jobi] 0.3.0devel18 updated ts files fixed German
 | 
						||
translation added translation support to external help applications
 | 
						||
(grid_maker and gpsimporter)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-07 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel17 Added update threshold to user
 | 
						||
options. Update threshold defines the number features to read before
 | 
						||
updating the map display (canvas). If set to zero the display is not
 | 
						||
updated until all features have been read.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-07 [larsl] 0.3.0devel16 Changed some calls to
 | 
						||
QMessageBox::question() to QMessageBox::information() since Qt 3.1.2
 | 
						||
doesn’t have question()</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-07 [ts] 0.3.0devel15 Implemented map overview using maplayers
 | 
						||
rather than snapshots of a raster layer.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Implemented QgsMapLayerRegistry - s singleton object that keeps track
 | 
						||
of loaded layers. When a layer is added an entry is made in the
 | 
						||
registry. When a layer is removed, the registry emits a
 | 
						||
layerWillBeRemoved signal that is connected to any mapvcanvas, legend
 | 
						||
etc that may be using the layer. The objects using the layer can then
 | 
						||
remove any reference they make to the layer - after which the registry
 | 
						||
deletes the layer object.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>This fixes a problem with adding an overview map which caused qgis to
 | 
						||
crash when a layer was removed because it was trying to delete the same
 | 
						||
pointer twice.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added a better implementation of the overview map below map
 | 
						||
legend.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Refactoring in qgis app - all private members now adhere to qgis
 | 
						||
naming conventions (prefixed with m).</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Import Note <em>ONLY THE MAPLAYER REGISTRY SHOULD DELETE
 | 
						||
QgsMapLayer::LayerType NOW </em></p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-03 [ts] 0.3.0devel14 Added getPaletteAsPixmap function to
 | 
						||
raster and display on raster props dialog. Also added gdaldatatype to
 | 
						||
raster props metadata dialog.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-04 [jobi] 0.3.0devel13 fixed tims typo with GDAL_LDADD
 | 
						||
cleaned pluginnames</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-03 [jobi] 0.3.0devel12 fixed bug #965720 by adding math.h for
 | 
						||
gcc 3.4 problems</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-06-02 [ts] 0.3.0devel11 Changed maplayer draw() and its
 | 
						||
subclasses vectorlayer and rasterlayer to not need src parameter (this
 | 
						||
can be obtained from painter->device()).</p>
 | 
						||
<p>More work on print system - still only works well on A4
 | 
						||
landscape.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Northarrow and copyright label plugins now hidethemselves before
 | 
						||
emitting update signals when OK is pressed.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>QGSMapCanvas can now return the (last calculated) scale using
 | 
						||
getScale</p>
 | 
						||
<p>QGSMapCanvas Impl struct rename to CanvasProperties. QgsMapCanvas
 | 
						||
impl_ member renamed to mCanvasProperties.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-31 [ts] 0.3.0devel10 Added basic print capability to
 | 
						||
qgis….consider this a work in progress. 2004-05-31 [gsherman]
 | 
						||
0.3.0devel9 Changed QgsIdentifyResultsBase to inherit from QWidget
 | 
						||
instead of QDialog so window position can be saved/restored from user
 | 
						||
settings each time. Changed qgis.h int version number to 300 (should
 | 
						||
have been done at release)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-30 [ts] 0.3.0devel8 Fix poorly placed status text on splash
 | 
						||
screen.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-27 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel7 Fixed schema problem with the spit
 | 
						||
plugin</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-27 [jobi] 0.3.0devel7 cleanup of gcc warnings</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-27 [petebr] 0.3.0devel6 Altered buttons on GUI to a
 | 
						||
standardised layout - HELP - APPLY - OK - CANCEL</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-26 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel5 Added theme selection to the user
 | 
						||
preferences dialog. Currently there is only one theme (default)
 | 
						||
available</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-26 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel4 Added theme support for loading png
 | 
						||
icons during startup. This solves ugly icon problem when encoded as xpm
 | 
						||
in the ui files. See comments in the QgisApp::settheme() function for
 | 
						||
details</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel3 Added some calls to
 | 
						||
std::string::c_str() to hopefully make Qt without STL happy</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel2</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel1 Fixed a bug that caused the legend
 | 
						||
checkboxes to always be unchecked when using Qt 3.1.2 by removing
 | 
						||
QgsLegendItem::setOn(), don’t know how this affects newer Qt</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel37 Show the legend widgets in debug mode
 | 
						||
too</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel36 Fixed some more instances of the same
 | 
						||
bug in raster layer</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-25 [ts] 0.2.0devel35 Disable overview widget for release.
 | 
						||
Minor bugfix in rasterlayer picker up by Larsl which is only encountered
 | 
						||
bu i8n users. Miscellaneous other fixes including proper rotation
 | 
						||
support for north arrows in all 4 corners of display, inproved refresh
 | 
						||
behavior of n-arrow and copyright plugin, better state hadnling for
 | 
						||
copyright plugin.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel34 Updated all ts files and translated
 | 
						||
new messages in the swedish file</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel33 Updated the swedish translation</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel32 Resaved
 | 
						||
plugins/copyright_label/pluginguibase.ui with designer 3.1 to fix const
 | 
						||
problem</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel31 First working version for gui pyramid
 | 
						||
manager (implemented as tab in raster props). Raster legend entry now
 | 
						||
stretched to width of legend and show an icon indicating whether the
 | 
						||
layer has overviews or not. Added struct and qvaluelist to raster to
 | 
						||
store pyramids state in.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-20 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel30 Changed release name to Madison in
 | 
						||
qgis.h Added QgsScaleCalculator to libqgis spec in src/Makefile.am
 | 
						||
Additional debug statements in grass data provider</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel29 Added pyramid / no pyramid icon to
 | 
						||
raster legend entry and made legend pixmap fill up all available space
 | 
						||
in leend width. Added new dir for icons in src that will be installed to
 | 
						||
PKGPATH/share/icons</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel28 Changed splash to load picture from file
 | 
						||
instead of an xpm include. This will hopefully speed up compile times
 | 
						||
for folks building on p133’s. Changed splash image to the fluffball
 | 
						||
ready for 0.3 release.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-19 [larsl] 0.2.0devel27 Implemented
 | 
						||
nextFeature(list<int>&) in the GPX provider</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-18 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel26 Saved the qgsappbase.ui and the
 | 
						||
qgsprojectpropertiesbase.ui files (modified at version 0.2.0devel25)
 | 
						||
using qt designer 3.1.2 to preserve backward compatibility.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-18 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel25 Changes to implement scale display
 | 
						||
for map data in feets, meters, and decimal degrees. A new menu item is
 | 
						||
added to the Tools menu for selecting the map units. This setting is
 | 
						||
currently not saved with a project file. TODO:Modify qgis.dtd and
 | 
						||
project save/load to support map units.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>NOTE - the qgisapp.ui file was created with qt 3.3.x and WILL NOT
 | 
						||
WORK with qt 3.1.2. This will be changed as soon as I can find my 3.1.2
 | 
						||
version of qt designer…</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-18 [ts] 0.2.0devel24 Relax checking of raster filetype
 | 
						||
extensions to cater for filetypes where extension is unpredictable
 | 
						||
(e.g. grass). Now I use gdal to quickly check if a file is usable so
 | 
						||
pretty much anything gdal iscompile with should get through if you have
 | 
						||
chosen wildcard filter in add raster dialog.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-17 [larsl] 0.2.0devel23 Added URL parsing and attribute
 | 
						||
fields for route and track GPX layers</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-17 [ts] 0.2.0devel22 Added support to Save As Image to save
 | 
						||
in any QImageIO supported format. File->SaveAsImage dialog filter
 | 
						||
list now generated automagically by interrogating QImageIO for its
 | 
						||
supported formats. File->SaveAsImage remembers last dir used (stored
 | 
						||
in qsettings). Its supposed to remember last filter used but there is an
 | 
						||
issue with that that needs to be resolved.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel21 Added url/link parsing to the GPX
 | 
						||
provider</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel20 Corrected file name extension for PNG
 | 
						||
files</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-15 [larsl] 0.2.0devel19 Added my picture in the About dialog
 | 
						||
to attract more female users to QGIS</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel18 Raster properties changes: Switched
 | 
						||
order of general tab and symbology tab - as you normally change straight
 | 
						||
to symbology tab anyway. Removed stats tab and consolidated stats into
 | 
						||
metadata tab. Clean ups on metadata tab.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel17 Raster stats tab now displays
 | 
						||
pyramid/overview info</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel16 Cleaned up the enabling/disabling of
 | 
						||
controls in the GPS dialog Changed the order in which different layers
 | 
						||
are loaded from a GPX file Added the basename of the GPX or LOC file in
 | 
						||
the layer name Changed the plugin name to the more general “GPS
 | 
						||
Tools”</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel15 Fixed a bug that caused the canvas to
 | 
						||
have a fixed width of 400 with my Qt version - the main grid layout for
 | 
						||
the main window had one extra column</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel14 Added a tab for loading GPX and LOC
 | 
						||
files to the GPS plugin dialog</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel13 Added a virtual destructor to
 | 
						||
QgsDataProvider and deleted dataProvider in the destructor for
 | 
						||
QgsVectorLayer</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-13 [larsl] 0.2.0devel12 Changing std::string to QString in
 | 
						||
GPSData::getData() and GPSData::releaseData() to support Qt libraries
 | 
						||
built without STL support</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel11 Fixes for segfaults on grid_make and
 | 
						||
gps_importer dbf creation</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-12 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel10 Fixes for OS X endian bug (needs
 | 
						||
further testing)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-12 [jobi] 0.2.0devel9 Added endian checks in configure
 | 
						||
decreased versions in the auto- checks</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-12 [ts] 0.2.0devel8 Added addProject(QString) to plugin
 | 
						||
interface.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-05 [jobi] 0.2.0devel7 Extended qgis-config to expose
 | 
						||
version</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-04 [ts] 0.2.0devel6 Added two new internal plugins - North
 | 
						||
Arrow and Copyright message overlay</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel5 Canvas now emits renderComplete signal
 | 
						||
when rendering of cnavas has completed, but before the screen is
 | 
						||
refreshed. Added accessor and mutators for the canvas pixmap.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel4 qgisApp->mapCanvas is now exposed
 | 
						||
through the plugin interface.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel3 Added three new widgets to status bar:
 | 
						||
scale - which shows the scale in the form 1:50000 * coordinates - shows
 | 
						||
coordinates of mouse on map in its own widget progressbar - shows the
 | 
						||
progress of any task that emits signals connected to showProgress
 | 
						||
slot</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added signal / slot mechanism for showExtents and set fp precision to
 | 
						||
2 (see below)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>stringRep function in QgsRect and QgsPoint now overloaded to allow
 | 
						||
setting floating point precision for display. QgisApp & canvas are
 | 
						||
currently hard coding this to 2 but I plan to make this user
 | 
						||
configurable in the options panel.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added example of using progress indicator to raster stats gathering
 | 
						||
procedure. You can see this in action by setting ak_shade example
 | 
						||
dataset to singleband pseudocolor and you will see progress indicator
 | 
						||
advancing as stats are gathered.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>*NOTE: scale calculations may not be correct at this point - they are
 | 
						||
still under development.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel2</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added preliminary support for building pyramids in raster files using
 | 
						||
the GDAL overview function. Currently it is hard coded to use Nearest
 | 
						||
neighbour algorithm with pyramids at levels 2, 4 and 8. Adding pyramids
 | 
						||
to your raster layer can greatly improve rendering performance. This new
 | 
						||
functionality is accessed by right clicking on a raster legen entry and
 | 
						||
choosing ‘Build Pyramids’ from the popup menu.</p>
 | 
						||
<p><em>PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION </em> This current implementation does
 | 
						||
not warn you of possible side effects including:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>possible image degradation if too many pyramids are generated</li>
 | 
						||
<li>possuble large increase in image side</li>
 | 
						||
<li>currently this process IS NOT KNOWN TO BE REVERSIBLE so please
 | 
						||
backup data first before experimenting.</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel1</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Rejigged single marker symbol so directory, icon selector, preview
 | 
						||
and scaling widget are all in one panel rather than having to spawn a
 | 
						||
new window to select an icon.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel0</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Fixed broken bits in internal plugin builder template and updated
 | 
						||
default plugin template gui,</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Version 0.2 ‘Pumpkin’ …. development version</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-25 [jobi] 0.1.0devel36 Added i18n tools to EXTRA_DIST Updated
 | 
						||
German translation fixed a typo -> other translations changed too</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-22 [jobi] 0.1.0devel35 added install routine for svg files
 | 
						||
added new translations adjusted paths in the cpp files</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-19 [jobi] 0.1.0devel34 Changed to simple macros for detecting
 | 
						||
QT and GDAL Added code for detecting QGIS as m4 file to tools this will
 | 
						||
be installed together with QT and GDAL detection to
 | 
						||
$prefix/share/aclocal/qgis.m4 so the plugins can just use those simple
 | 
						||
unique macros updated German translation !! Developers have to link the
 | 
						||
installed qgis.m4 to /usr/share/aclocal/ !! or where ever aclocal keeps
 | 
						||
the m4 files !! otherwise it’s not detected by the plugins autogen.sh
 | 
						||
(more exactly !! aclocal) !! It can be cheated by adding -I
 | 
						||
path/to/qgis.m4 to the aclocal of !! autogen.sh. But be careful not to
 | 
						||
commit that to CVS</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-18 [jobi] 0.1.0devel33 Added internationalisations stuff
 | 
						||
Needs some documentation and more translations :-)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-17 [ts] 0.1.0devel32 Fix for crash when opening singleband
 | 
						||
grayscale images introduced by Steves fix for crash when opening
 | 
						||
MULTIBAND_SINGLEBAND_GRAYSCALE images. Thanks to Steves help, all eight
 | 
						||
raster renderers are now working properly. This resolves bug : [ 934234
 | 
						||
] Segfault when drawing multiband image band as grayscale</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel31 Added new plugin (grid_maker) to build
 | 
						||
arbitrary sized graticules and add them to the current map view.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-05 [jobi] 0.1.0devel30 fixed qgiscommit (didn’t work when in
 | 
						||
qgis root) cosmetics for qgis-config to be more “standardconform”</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-04 [jobi] 0.1.0devel29 fixed GRASS provider</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-03 [ts] 0.1.0devel28 Bug fix (still unconfirmed if it cures
 | 
						||
the bug!) for raster layer rendering artifacts.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added new color ramper for grayscale and pseudcolor grayscale image
 | 
						||
called freak out (its a bit psycadellic at the moment). Last class break
 | 
						||
ne eds some work!</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-02 [jobi] 0.1.0devel27 Added version checks for autoconf,
 | 
						||
automake and libtool Small bugfixes</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel26 Rolling forward
 | 
						||
QgsFeature::setGeometry() interface change whereby the size of the well
 | 
						||
known type geometry binary buffer is also now passed in.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel25 Compensating for
 | 
						||
QgsFeature::setGeometry() now accepting “size” parameter for the given
 | 
						||
binary geometry string.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>QgsShapeFileProvider::endian() now uses shorter, standard way of
 | 
						||
computing endian-ness.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-02 [stevehalasz] 0.1.0devel25</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel24 changed qgiscommit to hopefully fix
 | 
						||
all problems</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel23 Extended tools/qgiscommit to pass
 | 
						||
parameters to cvs</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel22 Fixed GRASS plugin and provider
 | 
						||
build</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel21 fixed strange warning: object
 | 
						||
‘foo.$(OBJEXT)’ created both with libtool and without also cleaned the
 | 
						||
other Makefiles that way</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel20 fixed small bug renamed
 | 
						||
plugins/gps_importer/shapefil.h to shapefile.h</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel19 A lot of small changes to make release
 | 
						||
work again Probably more cleaning in the Makefiles needed</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-27 [ts] 0.1.0devel18 Fix for cl parameter “snapshot” to
 | 
						||
ensure events are process (ie canvas is drawn!) before snapshot is
 | 
						||
taken.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-27 [jobi] 0.1.0devel17 autogen.sh now passes parameters to
 | 
						||
configure fixed tools/qgiscommit by using mktemp, thanx mcoletti
 | 
						||
pluginpath is now taken of libdir to be 64bit compliant
 | 
						||
(e.g. /usr/lib64/qgis)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel13 forgot to remove tempfile</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel12 Removed Newline after statusline
 | 
						||
Should work now fine! Have fun</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel11</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added qgiscommit tool</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-26 [didge] 0.1.0devel10</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Fixed bug #920070 Made plugin-libdir 64bit compatible
 | 
						||
(e.g. /usr/lib64/qgis) for AMD64 and PPC64 systems</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-22 [mac] 0.1.0devel9</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added gps_importer plugin (still a work in progress)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-22 [mac] 0.1.0devel8 s/config.h/qgsconfig.h/ qgsconfig.h now
 | 
						||
has header sentinels now will install headers in $(prefix)/qgis/include
 | 
						||
and libqis.- library in $(prefix)/lib “src/Makefile” no longer relies on
 | 
						||
explicit dependencies and uses better naming scheme for created source
 | 
						||
files</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-21 [ts] 0.1.0devel7</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Added thumbnail preview of raster to raster props dialog. Added
 | 
						||
drawThumbnail method to rasterlayer.cpp Split (overloaded) draw method
 | 
						||
in rasterlayer.cpp so that some parts of the original draw method could
 | 
						||
be used by drawThumbnail method too.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>Fixed a bug in the drawing of pseudocolor single band grayscale
 | 
						||
images that prevented all class breaks being displayed.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-10 [gs] 0.1.0devel7 Added delimited text plugin which
 | 
						||
provides gui to add delimited text layers using the delimited_text data
 | 
						||
provider Changes to delimited_text data provider to support zooming,
 | 
						||
display of attributes, and identifying features. Selecting features does
 | 
						||
not work at this time. Auto- changes to support building the delimited
 | 
						||
text provider and plugin Minor changes to QgsFeature</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Completed session management of plugins
 | 
						||
(so active plugins are remembered when qgis closes and reloaded in the
 | 
						||
next session).</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Save state of plugins in ~/.qt/qtrc file
 | 
						||
(in progress). State is saved, just need to implement code to load
 | 
						||
plugins marked as active during application startup.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Added QgsRasterLayer::filterLayer which
 | 
						||
gets called near the end of each of the 8 renderers. This is the place
 | 
						||
to inline filters. Note that eventually filters will be hived out to a
 | 
						||
filter plugin mechanism.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-06 [didge] 0.1.0devel6 Changed configure stuff to write
 | 
						||
DEFINES in config.h. PostgreSQL stuff needs testing as I commented the
 | 
						||
compileflags in src/Makefile.am Infos will be posted on the devel
 | 
						||
mailinglist</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-03-04 [ts] 0.1.0devel5 Added option to options dialog to disable
 | 
						||
splashscreen.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-28 [ts] 0.1.0devel5</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li>-snapshot command line parameter working now and correctly scaling
 | 
						||
snapshot to size of pixmap. started moving splashscreen to a global so
 | 
						||
other classes diring the startup process can get access to set the
 | 
						||
splash status. (in progress)</li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-28 [gs] 0.1.0devel5 Refactored QgsField to use new coding
 | 
						||
conventions Documented QgsField (added docs to qgsfield.h) Updated
 | 
						||
doxygen mainpage section in qgis.h Added What’s this? help to main
 | 
						||
application window Added providers/delimitedtext and associated source
 | 
						||
files to CVS</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-27 [gs] 0.1.0devel4 Corrected debug statements in main.cpp
 | 
						||
and added a bit of verbiage to the help text. Removed hard coding of
 | 
						||
provider types in the QgisApp::addVectorLayer method. Caller must now
 | 
						||
provide compatible arguments that the designated provider can use to
 | 
						||
open the data store and fetch data. Changed QgsPgGeoprocessing class to
 | 
						||
properly call addVectorLayer.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-27 [ts] Changed cl parser to getopt Moved project loading out
 | 
						||
of loop that loads layers - you now need to specify –project filename to
 | 
						||
load a filename. This ensures that you only try to load one project
 | 
						||
file. Added –snapshot filename parameter that will load layers and
 | 
						||
project files specified, take a screenie of the map view and save it to
 | 
						||
disk as filename - this is under construction still. Added
 | 
						||
saveMapAsImage(QString) to qgisapp so above cl option can be used.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-26 [ts] Added a tab to raster layer properties dialog to show
 | 
						||
metadata about the raster layer (using gdal metadata)</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-26 [gs] 0.1.0devel3 Added Version to configure.in. QGIS now
 | 
						||
displays its version number based on the settings in configure.in</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-24 [gs] Search radius for identifying features on vector
 | 
						||
layers added to Preferences</p>
 | 
						||
<p>2004-02-23 [ts] Save current view to disk as a PNG image</p>

<p>July 26, 2002 Drawing code now properly displays layers and
 | 
						||
calculates extents when zooming. Zoom is still fixed zoom in rather than
 | 
						||
interactive.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>July 20, 2002 Repaint automatic for layers.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>July 18, 2002 Point, line and polygon PostGis layers can be drawn.
 | 
						||
Still issues with map extent and positioning of layers on the canvas.
 | 
						||
Drawing is manual and not tied to the paint event. No zooming or panning
 | 
						||
yet.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>July 10, 2002 Layers can be selected and added to the map canvas
 | 
						||
collection however the rendering code is currently disabled and being
 | 
						||
reorganized. So if you add a layer, nothing will be drawn…</p>
 | 
						||
<p>July 6, 2002 This code is preliminary and really has no true
 | 
						||
functionality other than the ability to define a PostGIS connection and
 | 
						||
display the spatially enabled tables that could be loaded.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>This is the initial import of the code base into CVS on
 | 
						||
Sourceforge.net.</p>
