<h2>Whats new in Version 0.9.2rc1?</h2>
<p>
</p>
This release candidate includes over 40 bug fixes and enchancements
over the QGIS 0.9.1 release. In addition we have added
the following new features:
<ul><li>
Imrovements to digitising capabilities.
</li>
<li>
Supporting default and defined styles (.qml) files for file based
vector layers. With styles you can save the symbolisation
and other settings associated with a vector layer and they
will be loaded whenever you load that layer.
</li>
<li>
Improved support for transparency and contrast stretching
in raster layers. Support for color ramps in raster layers.
Support for non-north up rasters. Many other raster
improvements 'under the hood'.
</li>
</ul>
<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.
