What’s new in Version 2.0.1
‘Dufour’?
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.
What’s new in Version 2.0.0
‘Dufour’?
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.
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.
The new symbol layer overview uses a clear, tree-structured layout
which allows for easy and fast access to all symbol layers.
QGIS 2.0 now includes Oracle Spatial support.
With the new data defined properties, it is possible to control
symbol type, size, color, rotation, and many other properties through
feature attributes.
You can now place html elements onto your map.
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.
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.
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.
A single composer window can now contain more then one page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There are many, many more new features in QGIS 2.0 - we invite you
to explore the software and discover them all!
What’s new in Version 1.8.0
‘Lisboa’?
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.
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.
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.
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.
MSSQL Spatial Support - you can now connect to your Microsoft SQL
Server spatial databases using QGIS.
Customization - allows setting up simplified QGIS interface by
hiding various components of main window and widgets in dialogs.
New symbol layer types - Line Pattern Fill, Point Pattern fill
Composers - have multiple lines on legend items using a specified
character
Expression based labeling
Heatmap tool - a new core plugin has been added for generating
raster heatmaps from point data. You may need to activate this plugin
using the plugin manager.
GPS Tracking - The GPS live tracking user interface was overhauled
and many fixes and improvements were added to it.
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.
Offset Curves - a new digitizing tool for creating offset curves was
added.
Terrain Analysis Plugin - a new core plugin was added for doing
terrain analysis - and it can make really good looking colored relief
maps.

What’s new in Version
1.4.0 ‘Enceladus’?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
User defined SVG search paths are now added to the options
dialog.
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.
For power users, you can now create customizable attribute forms
using Qt Designer dialog UIs.
What’s new in Version 1.3.0
‘Mimas’?

Other
notable features and improvements in this release
Marker size is now configurable when editing a layer.
Incorporation of the analysis library into the mainstream
release.
Identify features across multiple layers.
Added a new plugin for carrying out raster terrain analysis
(computing slope aspect, steepness etc).
A reshape tool to apply to line/polygon geometries. The part of a
geometry between the first and last intersection of the reshape line
will be replaced.
Added snapping to current layer in measure dialog.
Added ability to select the primary key for views.
Zoom to a coordinate by entering it in the status bar coordinate
display.
Version 1.2.0 ‘Daphnis’
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:
Editing
Editing functionality in QGIS has had a major update in this release.
This includes the addition of new vector editing tools:
delete part of multipart feature
delete hole from polygon
simplify feature
Added a new “node” tool (in advanced digitizing toolbar).
New functionality for merging features
Added undo/redo functionality for vector layer editing.
Added option to show only markers of selected features in editing
mode.
Change layer’s icon in legend to reflext that the layer is
editable.
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.
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
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.
Keyboard shortcuts
New feature: configure shortcuts for actions within main window of
qgis! See menu Setting->Configure shortcuts
Map Composer
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.
Attribute tables
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.
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.
Plugins
The order of layers in the WMS dialog can now be changed.
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
.
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.
An new OpenStreetMap provider and plugin have been added to
QGIS.
Projects Management
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.
PostGIS & the PostgreSQL
Provider
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.
Symbology enhancements
allow refresh of symbols via popup menu on the renderer’s symbol
selection
add support for data defined symbols
add support for font symbol markers (only data defined - no gui
yet)
add symbol size in map units (ie. symbols that keep the size in
mapunits independent of the mapscale)
Command line arguments
Added command line argument support on windows. Enhancement of
command line arguments:
allow given snapshot sizes
allow suppression of splash screen
capture map decorations from plugins on snapshots
Grass
There is a new GRASS shell. Also there have been many cleanups and
consistency updates.
Version 1.1.0 ‘Pan’
Please note that this is a release in our ‘unstable’ 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 many bug fixes and enhancements over the QGIS
1.0.0 release. In addition we have added the following new features:

permission).
Improvements to proxy support and support of proxy in WFS provider.
The WFS provider now also shows progress information as it is fetching
data.
Improvements the PostGIS client support. Massive speedups in PostGIS
layer rendering can now be achieved by disabling SSL in the connection
editor.
Mapserver Export improvements for continuous color support.
Added tools menu - the fTools plugins are now part of the core QGIS
plugins and will always be installed by default.
Improvements to the print composer including object alignment
options. It is also now possible to print maps as postcript raster or
vector. For python programmers, the composer classes now have python
bindings.
When using File - Save as image, the saved image is now
georeferenced.
Projection selector now includes quick selection of recently used
CRS’s.

Changes in open vector dialog to support all drivers available in
ogr including database and protocol drivers. This brings with it support
for SDE, Oracle Spatial, ESRI personal geodatabase and many more OGR
supported data stores. Note that in some cases accessing these may
require third party libraries to be on your system.
The middle mouse button can now be used for panning.
A new, faster attribute table implementation.
Numerous cleanups to the user interface.
A new provider was added for spatiallite - a geodatabase-in-a-file
implementation based on the SQLITE database.

added.
A new plugin for converting from DXF files to shapefiles was
added.
A new plugin was added for interpolating point features into ASCII
grid layers.
The python plugin manager was completely overhauled, the new version
having many improvements, including checking that the version of QGIS
running will support a plugin that is being installed.
Plugin toolbar positions are now correctly saved when the
application is closed.

2004-12-19 [timlinux] 0.6.0rc2 Added Slovak translation from Lubos
Balazovic Massive documentation updates Updates to developer pictures
and the about box
2004-12-19 [mhugent] providers/ogr/qgsshapefileprovider.cpp: fix for
attribute problem in ogr provider
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.
2004-12-03 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc1 Commented out excessive debug
statements in the postgres provider
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).
Version 0.5
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.
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.
2004-11-27 [larsl] 0.5.0devel30 Fixed feature addition in GPX layers,
it now works again
2004-11-22 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel29 QgsProject properties now
re-designed to be similar to QSettings
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.
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.
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.
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.
2004-11-16 [larsl] 0.5.0devel24 Reimplemented nextFeature() so
features are visible again
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
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.
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.
2004-11-04 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel20 Added scale dependent visibility
support to both raster and vector layers.
2004-11-02 [larsl] 0.5.0devel19 Added menu item for creating an empty
GPX file
2004-10-30 [larsl] 0.5.0devel17 qgsfeature.h is needed in
qgsvectordataprovider.cpp since it’s deleting a QgsFeature, fixed it
2004-10-29 [larsl] 0.5.0devel16 Added defaultValue() in
QgsVectorLayer and QgsVectorDataProvider, implemented it in the GPX
provider
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.
Remove the tag from the dtd. It is superfluous.
2004-10-26 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel13 regarding saving and restoring
units in project files. made many minor bug fixes and tidying up
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
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
2004-10-20 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel10 merged in qgsproject-branch
2004-10-19 [larsl] 0.5.0devel9 Changed GPX attribute names from three
letter abbreviations to more userfriendly whole words
2004-10-19 [larsl] 0.5.0devel8 Changed mFeatureType in
qgsgpxprovider.cpp from a QString to an enum to avoid unnecessary string
comparisons
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
2004-10-18 [larsl] 0.5.0devel6 Removed duplicate code, added bounds
calculation for digitized features in the GPX provider
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.
2004-10-17 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel4 OGR provider now uses GEOS to
select features when doing identify and select operations.
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
2004-10-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel2 Added man page (qgis.man) that gets
installed in man1 as qgis.1
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)
2004-09-23 [larsl] 0.4.0devel38 Removed support for loading
Geocaching.com LOC files
2004-09-20 [tim] 0.4.0devel37 Shameless acknowledge not keeping this
file up to date! Sort out clipping problems with labeller
2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel36 Added the element definition of
uniquevaluemarker to qgis.dtd
2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel35 Re-fixed bug 987874, the provider
will now skip geometry-less features but keep reading other features
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
2004-09-15 [larsl] 0.4.0devel33 Fixed QgsUValMaDialogBase so the
listbox doesn’t take up all of the space
2004-09-14 [larsl] 0.4.0devel32 Added the SVG icons in
src/svg/gpsicons
2004-09-13 [larsl] 0.4.0devel31 Added the unique value marker
renderer
2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel30 Scale down SVG symbols Display
rasters without geotransform info as “1 pixel = 1 unit”
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
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
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
2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel26 Start of new qgs project file
class. Obviously work-in-progress.
Committed for back-up sanity and to elicit comments from the
bored.
2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel25 QgsRect :
no longer waste copy of QgsPoint in ctor
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.
2004-08-26 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel22 qgisapp.cpp:
fixed bug 1017079, where loading projects would cause app to
crash
qgsprojectio.cpp:
minor code change; commented out superfluous code
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.)
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.)
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.
2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel18 Fixed a bug that caused SVG markers
to be huge when oversampling was turned on
2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel17 Fixed transparency in SVG sumbols
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
2004-08-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel15 Added more attribute fields to the
GPX provider: cmt, desc, src, sym, number, urlname
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.
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
2004-08-18 [jobi] 0.4.0devel12 added Italian translation thanx to
Maurizio Napolitano updated all translations
2004-08-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel11 Implemented GPX file writing - GPX
layers are now written back to file when features are added
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.
2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel9 Added mouse wheel zoom. Moving
wheel forward zooms in by a factor of 2.
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.
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
2004-07-18 [larsl] 0.4.0devel6 Changed Graduated Marker renderer to
use the SVG cache
2004-07-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel5 Added SVG cache and started using it
in the Single Marker renderer
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.
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.
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
2004-06-30 [jobi] 0.3.0devel58 made ready for release added interface
version for libqgis
2004-06-28 [ts] 0.3.0devel55 Added show/hide all layers buttons and
menu items
2004-06-27 [larsl] 0.3.0devel54 Enabled GPS upload code again
2004-06-27 [ts] 0.3.0devel53 Numerous bug fixes and cleanups. Added
remove all layers from overview button.
2004-06-26 [ts] 0.3.0devel52 Extents are now correctly restored when
project is loaded
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.
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.
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel49
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.
Some minor updates to projection
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
2004-06-21 [jobi] 0.3.0devel47 Added check for wrong UI version to
make release fixed wrong versions and DOS endlines
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel46
Got tired of always resetting my gidbase dir every time qgis restarts
- added it to qsettings.
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel45
Complete buffering so that bar as well as text will be visible on
both light and dark surfaces.
2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel44
Fix for bug [ 973922 ] Overview shows layers in wrong order
Fixed show stopper bug where maplayerregistry wasn’t being cleared
properly on file new
Added setZOrder which will be used in next commit to fix projection
zorder problem
2004-06-20 [ts] 0.3.0devel43
Fix annoying ‘mapcanvas isn’t freezing while loading rasters’ bug
2004-06-19 [ts] 0.3.0devel42
Add white buffer around scalebar text…buffer around lines to
come…
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
2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel40
Win32 support for package path - which will hopefully ensure pyramid
and overview mini icons are displayed on legend entry now.
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:
2004-06-16 [larsl] 0.3.0devel40 Added skeleton code for importing
other GPS file formats using GPSBabel
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!’
2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel38 Added new menu / toolbar option to add
all loaded layers into the overview.
2004-06-15 [larsl] 0.3.0devel37 More preparation for GPS upload code
New function in QgisInterface - getLayerRegistry()
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).
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.
2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel34 Removed gdal deps in qgisapp.
Moved raster load stuff to a group at the end of qgisapp.cpp
file.
Removed generically usable raster fns from qgisapp to static methods
of qgsrasterlayer.
Some renaming of variable names etc.
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.
2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel33
Globally changed legen item fonts to arial 10pt for consistency with
rest of ui. Will soft code in qgsoptions in next release.
2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel32 Add version name to splash
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.
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.
2004-06-12 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel30 Windows support – lots of
changes
2004-06-11 [larsl] 0.3.0devel29 Let the user choose GPS protocol and
feature type to download
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…
2004-06-10 [ts] 0.3.0devel27 Modified projection (serialisation and
deserialisation of project files) to use maplayerregistry and not
mapcanvas.
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.
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.
2004-06-09 [petebr] 0.3.0devel24 Added the scale bar plugin. My first
solo plugin! :-)
2004-06-09 [ts] 0.3.0devel23 Added “Show in overview” option to
vector popup menu.
Removed overview stuff from debug only version of qgisapp.
Did plumbing for enabling disabling layers in overview from popup
context menu.
Whoopdeedooo. :-)
All that remains to do now is sort out syncronisation of layer
ordering between main map canvas and overview canvas.
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.
2004-06-09 [larsl] 0.3.0devel21 Hid the “GPS download file importer”
tab
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
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.
2004-06-08 [jobi] 0.3.0devel18 updated ts files fixed German
translation added translation support to external help applications
(grid_maker and gpsimporter)
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.
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()
2004-06-07 [ts] 0.3.0devel15 Implemented map overview using maplayers
rather than snapshots of a raster layer.
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.
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.
Added a better implementation of the overview map below map
legend.
Refactoring in qgis app - all private members now adhere to qgis
naming conventions (prefixed with m).
Import Note ONLY THE MAPLAYER REGISTRY SHOULD DELETE
QgsMapLayer::LayerType NOW
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.
2004-06-04 [jobi] 0.3.0devel13 fixed tims typo with GDAL_LDADD
cleaned pluginnames
2004-06-03 [jobi] 0.3.0devel12 fixed bug #965720 by adding math.h for
gcc 3.4 problems
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()).
More work on print system - still only works well on A4
landscape.
Northarrow and copyright label plugins now hidethemselves before
emitting update signals when OK is pressed.
QGSMapCanvas can now return the (last calculated) scale using
getScale
QGSMapCanvas Impl struct rename to CanvasProperties. QgsMapCanvas
impl_ member renamed to mCanvasProperties.
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)
2004-05-30 [ts] 0.3.0devel8 Fix poorly placed status text on splash
screen.
2004-05-27 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel7 Fixed schema problem with the spit
plugin
2004-05-27 [jobi] 0.3.0devel7 cleanup of gcc warnings
2004-05-27 [petebr] 0.3.0devel6 Altered buttons on GUI to a
standardised layout - HELP - APPLY - OK - CANCEL
2004-05-26 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel5 Added theme selection to the user
preferences dialog. Currently there is only one theme (default)
available
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
2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel3 Added some calls to
std::string::c_str() to hopefully make Qt without STL happy
2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel2
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
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel37 Show the legend widgets in debug mode
too
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel36 Fixed some more instances of the same
bug in raster layer
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.
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel34 Updated all ts files and translated
new messages in the swedish file
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel33 Updated the swedish translation
2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel32 Resaved
plugins/copyright_label/pluginguibase.ui with designer 3.1 to fix const
problem
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.
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
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
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.
2004-05-19 [larsl] 0.2.0devel27 Implemented
nextFeature(list&) in the GPX provider
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.
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.
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…
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.
2004-05-17 [larsl] 0.2.0devel23 Added URL parsing and attribute
fields for route and track GPX layers
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.
2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel21 Added url/link parsing to the GPX
provider
2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel20 Corrected file name extension for PNG
files
2004-05-15 [larsl] 0.2.0devel19 Added my picture in the About dialog
to attract more female users to QGIS
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.
2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel17 Raster stats tab now displays
pyramid/overview info
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”
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
2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel14 Added a tab for loading GPX and LOC
files to the GPS plugin dialog
2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel13 Added a virtual destructor to
QgsDataProvider and deleted dataProvider in the destructor for
QgsVectorLayer
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
2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel11 Fixes for segfaults on grid_make and
gps_importer dbf creation
2004-05-12 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel10 Fixes for OS X endian bug (needs
further testing)
2004-05-12 [jobi] 0.2.0devel9 Added endian checks in configure
decreased versions in the auto- checks
2004-05-12 [ts] 0.2.0devel8 Added addProject(QString) to plugin
interface.
2004-05-05 [jobi] 0.2.0devel7 Extended qgis-config to expose
version
2004-05-04 [ts] 0.2.0devel6 Added two new internal plugins - North
Arrow and Copyright message overlay
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.
2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel4 qgisApp->mapCanvas is now exposed
through the plugin interface.
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
Added signal / slot mechanism for showExtents and set fp precision to
2 (see below)
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.
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.
*NOTE: scale calculations may not be correct at this point - they are
still under development.
2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel2
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.
PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION This current implementation does
not warn you of possible side effects including:
possible image degradation if too many pyramids are generated
possuble large increase in image side
currently this process IS NOT KNOWN TO BE REVERSIBLE so please
backup data first before experimenting.
2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel1
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.
2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel0
Fixed broken bits in internal plugin builder template and updated
default plugin template gui,
Version 0.2 ‘Pumpkin’ …. development version
2004-04-25 [jobi] 0.1.0devel36 Added i18n tools to EXTRA_DIST Updated
German translation fixed a typo -> other translations changed too
2004-04-22 [jobi] 0.1.0devel35 added install routine for svg files
added new translations adjusted paths in the cpp files
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
2004-04-18 [jobi] 0.1.0devel33 Added internationalisations stuff
Needs some documentation and more translations :-)
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
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.
2004-04-05 [jobi] 0.1.0devel30 fixed qgiscommit (didn’t work when in
qgis root) cosmetics for qgis-config to be more “standardconform”
2004-04-03 [ts] 0.1.0devel28 Bug fix (still unconfirmed if it cures
the bug!) for raster layer rendering artifacts.
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!
2004-04-02 [jobi] 0.1.0devel27 Added version checks for autoconf,
automake and libtool Small bugfixes
2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel26 Rolling forward

known type geometry binary buffer is also now passed in.
2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel25 Compensating for
QgsFeature::setGeometry() now accepting “size” parameter for the given
binary geometry string.
QgsShapeFileProvider::endian() now uses shorter, standard way of
computing endian-ness.

2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel20 fixed small bug renamed
plugins/gps_importer/shapefil.h to shapefile.h
2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel19 A lot of small changes to make release
work again Probably more cleaning in the Makefiles needed
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.
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)
2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel13 forgot to remove tempfile
2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel12 Removed Newline after statusline

(e.g. /usr/lib64/qgis) for AMD64 and PPC64 systems
2004-03-22 [mac] 0.1.0devel9
Added gps_importer plugin (still a work in progress)
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
2004-03-21 [ts] 0.1.0devel7
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.
Fixed a bug in the drawing of pseudocolor single band grayscale
images that prevented all class breaks being displayed.
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
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).
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.
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.
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
2004-03-04 [ts] 0.1.0devel5 Added option to options dialog to disable
splashscreen.
2004-02-28 [ts] 0.1.0devel5
-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)
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
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.
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.
2004-02-26 [ts] Added a tab to raster layer properties dialog to show
metadata about the raster layer (using gdal metadata)
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
2004-02-24 [gs] Search radius for identifying features on vector
layers added to Preferences
2004-02-23 [ts] Save current view to disk as a PNG image
Version 0.1 ‘Moroz’ February
25, 2004
User interface improvements - menu and dialog cleanups and a new icon
theme based on Everaldo’s Crystal icon set. QGIS can load layers and /
or a project on start up by specifying these on the command line. Symbol
renderers for simple, graduated, and continuous symbols Raster support
for most GDAL formats Raster implementation supports a variety of
rendering settings including semi transparent overlays, palette
inversion, flexible band to color mapping in multiband images and
creation of pseudocolor. Change to a data provider architecture for
vector layers. Additional data types can be supported by writing a
provider plugin Buffer plugin for PostGIS layers PostgreSQL port number
can be specified when making connections Shapefile to PostGIS Import
Tool (SPIT) plugin for importing shapefiles into PostgreSQL/PostGIS User
guide (HTML and PDF) Install guide (HTML and PDF) Plugin manager to
manage loading/unloading of plugins Plugin template to automate the more
mundane parts of creating a new plugin. Numerous bug fixes Removed
dependency on libpq++ when compiling with PostgreSQL/PostGIS support
PostgreSQL/PostGIS layers now rely on GEOS for selecting features

can be selected by dragging a selection box or selecting the records in
the attribute table Zoom to extent of selected features (Shapefiles
only) Bug fix: Bug that prevented reopening of the attribute table once
it was initially displayed and closed Bug fix: Bug that prevented lines
from being drawn with widths other than 1 pixel Build system has changed
for building with PostgreSQL support.

Other internal changes
July 26, 2002 Drawing code now properly displays layers and
calculates extents when zooming. Zoom is still fixed zoom in rather than
interactive.
July 20, 2002 Repaint automatic for layers.
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.
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…
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.
This is the initial import of the code base into CVS on
Sourceforge.net.
