What's New in QGIS 2.0.1 'Dufour'

This is a small fix release to address lost copyright / credits for our new welcome screen as well as to update supporting documentation. The Spanish translation has also been updated.

What's New in QGIS 2.0.0 'Dufour'

This is a major new version. Based on the initial versions of QGIS 1. x. x, QGIS Dufour introduces many new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Here is a summary of some of the new key features.

We've updated the "icon" theme to use the 'GIS' theme which introduces a better level of consistency and professionalism to the QGIS user interface.
The new symbol layer overview uses a clear, tree-structured layout that allows quick and easy access to all symbol layers.
QGIS 2.0 now includes Oracle spatial support.
With new properties defined in the data, you can control the symbol type, size, color, rotation, and many other properties using feature attributes.
You can now place HTML elements on the map.
Having well aligned map elements is essential to generate good printed maps. Auto snap lines have been added to allow easy alignment of design objects by simply dragging one object close to another.
Sometimes it is necessary to align the objects at a “curtain” distance in the designer. With the new manual adjustment lines, manual adjustment lines can be added to better align objects using common alignment. Simply drag from the top or side ruler to add a new guideline.
Did you ever need to generate a series of maps? Sure you do. The designer now includes generation of the built-in map series using the Atlas feature. Coverage layers can be points, lines, polygons, and the attribute data of the current function is available on the labels for instant value replacement.
A single composition window can now contain more than one page.
The designer tag item in version 1.8 was quite limited and allowed only a single $ CURRENT_DATE token to be used. In version 2.0 support for full expression has added more power and control of final tags.
The map frame now contains the ability to display the ranges of another map and will update when you scroll. Using this with the Atlas generation feature now in the designer core, a certain generation of interesting maps is allowed. The frame style overview uses the same style as a regular map polygon object so your creativity is never restricted.
Layer mixing allows you to combine them in new and exciting ways. While in previous versions, all you could do was make the layer transparent, you can now choose from much more advanced options, such as “multiply”, “darken only”, and many more options. Blending can be used in the normal map view as well as in the print designer.
HTML support has been added in the label element of the map designer to give you even more control over your final maps. HTML tags support full CSS stylesheets, HTML, and even JavaScript if you are oriented that way.
The tagging system has been completely overhauled as it now includes many new features such as drop shadows, 'road shields', many more linked data options, and various performance improvements. We are slowly removing the "old tags" 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 labeling and rule expressions can now be used for label properties. Almost all properties can be defined with an expression or a field value that gives you more control over the result of the label. Expressions can refer to a field (for example, setting the font size to the value of the 'font' field) or it can include more complex logic. Examples of linkable properties include: font, size, style, and buffer size.
By using the expression engine more and more outside of QGIS to allow things like expression and symbol based tags, many more functions have been added to the expression constructor and are all accessible even without the expression constructor. All features include comprehensive help and usage guides for ease of use.
If the expression engine doesn't have the function you need, don't worry. New functions can be added through a plugin using a simple Python API.
The Python API has been revamped to allow for a cleaner, more pythonic programming experience. The QGIS 2.0 API uses SIP V2 which eliminates the logical mess of ToString (), toInt () that was necessary when working with values. The types are now converted to native Python types to make the API much more enjoyable. Attributes are now accessed on the feature itself using a simple key search, no more index and attribute search maps. Note: Most plugins written for QGIS <1. x will need to be ported to work properly in QGIS 2.x. Please, ask

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 revised. One of the best new features derived 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 re-project the layer to a new coordinate reference system. You can also save a raster layer as a rendered image, so if, for example, you have a single band screen to which you have applied a color palette, you can save the rendered layer 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!

[/nextpage] [nextpage title=”QGIS 1.8 Lisbon” ]

What's New in QGIS 1.8.0 'Lisbon'

This is a new feature version. Built on the basis of QGIS 1.7 versions. x, Lisbon introduces many new functionalities, improvements and bug fixes. Here is a summary of some of the new key features.

QGIS browser: a standalone application and a new dashboard in QGIS. The browser allows you to easily navigate your connection-based file system and data sets (PostGIS, WFS, etc.), preview them, as well as drag and drop items onto the canvas.
BD Administrator: The BD administrator is now officially part of the QGIS core. You can drag layers from the QGIS browser to the Database Manager and it will import your layer into your spatial database. Drag and drop tables between the spatial databases and they will be imported. You can use the Database Manager to run SQL queries on your spatial database and then view the spatial result of the queries by adding the results to QGIS as a query layer.

What's New in QGIS 1.4.0 'Enceladus'

Please note this is a release from our 'cutting edge' launch series. As such, it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x and QGIS 1.3.0. If an immutable user interface, programmatic API, and long-term support are more important to you than new and untested features, we recommend that you use a copy of QGIS from our Long-Term Support (LTS) 1.0 release series. .x. In all other cases, we recommend that you use this version.

This version includes around 200 bug fixes, about 30 new features. Plus, it has received a lot of love and attention so that our favorite desktop GIS app is one more step on the road to nirvana with GIS! So much has happened in the 3 months since our last release that it's impossible to document everything here. Instead, we'll only highlight a couple of important new features for you.

Probably the most important feature is the incorporation of the new vector symbology infrastructure. This is provided in conjunction with the previous implementation: it can be changed using a button in the vector layer properties dialog box. It does not completely replace the old symbology implementation as there are several issues that need to be resolved and a lot of testing needs to be done before it is deemed ready.

QGIS now has a field calculator, accessible via a button in the attributes section of the vector properties, and from the attributes table user interface. You can use the feature length, feature area, string concatenation, and type conversions in the field calculator, as well as field values.

The map designer has had a lot of attention from us. A grid can now be added to map designers. With them they can now be rotated in the design. The limitation of a single map design per project has been removed. A new designer administrator dialog has been added to manage existing designer instances. The designer widget property sheets have been completely revised to use less screen space

Various parts of the user interface have been revised to improve consistency and support for netbooks and other smaller display devices. Loading and saving shortcuts. The position can now be displayed as Degrees, Minutes, Seconds in the status bar. The add, move, and delete vertex buttons have now been 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.

Added caching capacity to QGIS. This speeds up common operations such as layer reordering, symbology change, WMS / WFS client, hiding / displaying layers and opens the door for future improvements such as thread rendering and cache pre-manipulation. layers. Note that it is disabled by default and can be enabled in the options dialog box.

User-defined SVG search paths are now added to the options dialog box.

When creating a new ShapeFile, you can now specify your CRS. Also the option Avoid Intersections for polygons is now possible to be done with background layers.

For advanced users, you can now create customizable attribute forms using the Qt Designer dialog UIs.

The analysis library has been incorporated in the main version.
Features are identified in multiple layers.
A new plugin was added to carry out the analysis of the rasterized terrain (calculation of the appearance of the slope, the slope, etc.).
There is now a reshape tool to apply to line / polygon geometries. The part of a geometry between the first and the last intersection of the remodeling line will be replaced.
Added snap to current layer option in measurement dialog.
Added the ability to select primary key for views.
You can zoom in on a coordinate by entering it on the coordinate screen of the status bar.

What's New in QGIS 1.2.0 'Daphnis'

Please note this is a release from our 'cutting edge' launch series. As such, it contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x. If stability and long-term support are more important to you than new and untested features, we recommend that you use a copy of QGIS from our 1.0.x series of stable releases. This release includes over 140 bug fixes and enhancements over QGIS version 1.1.0. Additionally, we have added the following new features:

Edition

The editing functionality in QGIS has had a major update in this release. This includes adding new vector editing tools:

Delete part of multipart function
Eliminate the polygon hole
Simplify features
A new “node” tool is added (on the advanced digitizing toolbar).
New functionality to combine features
Undo / redo functionality is added for vector layer editing.
Added option to show only bookmarks of selected features in edit mode.
You can change the icon of the layer in the legend to reflect that the layer is editable.

Also, there are undo / redo actions on the Edit menu, in the advanced digitizing toolbar, and there is a new dock widget showing the undo action stack for the active layer.

About the node tool: It resembles a tool for editing routes 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 on a node moves it. Double clicking on a segment will add a new node. Pressing the delete key will delete the active node. It is possible to select more active nodes at the same time: by clicking and dragging to form a rectangle in the area around the nodes. Adjacent nodes of a segment can be selected by clicking on it. Active nodes can be added / removed by using the Ctrl key when clicking on a node or by generating a rectangle when dragging in the zone.

We recommend turning off vertex markers in the QGIS options when working with this tool: redraws are much faster and the map is not full of markers.

Keyboard shortcuts

New feature: Configure shortcuts for actions within the main QGIS window! See Configuration menu-> Configure shortcuts

Maps Composer

It is now possible to lock / unlock positions of designer elements by clicking the right mouse button. The width and height of the map designer will now remain fixed if the user sets the extent of the map designer to the extent of the map canvas. It is also possible to show the current date in the designer's label by writing (d 'June' yyyy) or similar. It is now also possible to keep current layers in a map designer even if additional layers are added to the main map. It is now possible to export to PDF in the designer.

Attribute tables

It is now possible to search the attribute table only within the selected records. General accelerations have been made on the attribute table. Adjusting field width and precision when adding attributes is now possible. Attribute types handling in the WFS provider has been improved.

Attribute aliases for vector layers are now available. Aliases are displayed in place of the original field names in the information tool and in the attribute table to make things easier for end users. There is now a GUI for configuring edit widgets for layer attributes. A new dialog box allows loading a map of values from a layer (it could also be a non-spatial table!). The widget editing settings will now also be honored in the attribute table.

Plugins

The order of the 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. You can find more information about eVis here: http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/evis/documentation.php .
The interpolation plugin now has the ability to use line layers as constraints for triangulation in the interpolation plugin. Now you can also save the triangulation in the ShapeFile file.
A new OpenStreetMap provider and plugin has been added to QGIS.

Project management

QGIS now includes support for the project relative position of file data sources and svgs. Storing relative paths of file data sources is optional.

PostGIS & the PostgreSQL Provider

You can now select SSL mode when adding a new database connection. Disabling SSL encryption can greatly improve PostGIS data load performance where connection security is not required. Support has been added for more native types and for configuring column comments.

Symbology improvements

Allows updating of symbols through the popup menu in the renderer symbol selection
Add support for defined data symbols
Adds support for font symbol bookmarks (defined data only, no GUI yet)
Add symbol size in map units (that is, symbols that maintain size in map units independent of the map scale)

Arguments on the command line

Added support for arguments to be added on command line in Windows. The improvements to the command line arguments are:

Allow given snapshot capture sizes
Allow suppression of splash screen
Capture map fixes from plugins on snapshots

== GRASS ==

There is a new GRASS shell. There have also been many cleanings and consistency updates.

2005-01-01 [larsl] 0.6.0devel3 Fixed a bug that blocked QGIS when loading rasters from a project file.
2004-12-30 [mcoletti] 0.6.0devel2 * Reconstruction of endian management in data providers
Redesigned delimited text provider
Some members of the const-correct class have been created
2004-12-30 [larsl] 0.6.0devel1 getProjectionWKT () has been implemented in QgsGPXProvider
2004-12-19 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc2 README updated. Main.cpp was added so that the output is built as standalone and plugin. Makefile.am was modified so that the binary outputs are installed in the PREFIX directory
2004-12-19 [timlinux] 0.6.0rc2 Added Slovak translation by Lubos Balazovic. Massive documentation updates have been made. This includes updates to the developer images and the About box.
2004-12-19 [mhugent] providers / ogr / qgsshapefileprovider.cpp: Fixed attribute problem in ogr provider
2004-12-05 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc2 Fixed error 1079392 that caused the QGIS failure when entering a query that resulted in the layer being created without records. Added additional validation of the SQL query to the query builder. When you click OK in the generator dialog box, the query is sent to the database and the result is checked to ensure that a valid PostgreSQL layer will be created. Added tr to a number of strings not ready for translation in the code created from the vector properties dialog of the QgsDataSourceURI structure to contain all the relevant information associated with a PostgreSQL layer connection, including the host , database, table, geometry column, username, password. port, and sql where clause.
2004-12-03 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc1 Excessive debugging statements were discussed in the Postgres provider
2004-12-03 [gsherman] 0.6.0rc1 When changing the SQL query for a PostgreSQL layer using the query generator in the vector layer properties dialog box, the map canvas extensions and count are now updated correctly of characteristics. Fixed crash in pg plugin buffer (bug 1077412). The crash was due to the addition of support to the where clause of the SQL in the Postgres provider. The provider was not checking to see if an SQL key was included in the URI data source and therefore copying the entire URI as a where clause. The .shp extension is now added to 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 user does not specify).

QGIS 0.5

2004-12-01 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel30 Functions added to qgsdataprovider.h to support update of feature count and extensions. To be supported, these functions must be performed in the data provider implementation. The default implementations do nothing useful.
QgsVectorLayer now has functions to request feature count, extension update and subset definition string (usually SQL) from the underlying data provider. Providers do not need to implement these functions unless they want to support the subset of the layer through a layer definition query or other means.

2004-11-27 [larsl] 0.5.0devel30 Fixed addition of fixed functions in GPX layers, now it works again.

2004-11-22 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel29 The QgsProject properties have now been redesigned to be similar to Qsettings.

2004-11-20 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel28 Added the ability to interrupt the rendering of the map layer currently being drawn by pressing the Escape key. Repeat and rinse to interrupt drawing of all vector layers. It is not yet implemented for raster layers.

2004-11-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel27 First occurrence in a PostgreSQL query generator. This is not yet fully functional. Fields in a table are displayed and tests or all values can be displayed. Double-clicking a field name or sample value pastes it into the SQL query box at the current cursor position. The test function is not yet implemented nor is the check type to allow automatic quoting of text values in the SQL statement.

2004-11-19 [mcoletti] 0.5.devel26 The QgsProject properties interface has been changed to be more similar to QSettings. The new properties are issued to the file. There is a known bug with QStringLists in which there are redundant copies written to the file. The new properties are not yet read. Code will be added for this purpose in the coming days.

2004-11-17 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel25 A small check box has been added at the bottom right of the status bar which, when checked, will suppress the rendering of layers on the main canvas and on the general canvas. This is useful if you want to load a group of layers and modify their symbology, etc. without having delays caused by the reorganization of everything after every change that is made.

2004-11-16 [larsl] 0.5.0devel24 nextFeature () has been reimplemented to make the features visible again.

2004-11-13 [larsl] 0.5.0devel23 QgsIdentifyResults and QgsVectorLayer changed to show all attributes automatically (expand feature node) if only one feature is identified

2004-11-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel22 Ifdef's for WIN32 have been added around dynamic_casts in the renderer vector dialogs. Although rtti is enabled, the use of dynamic molds causes seg failures in WIN32.

2004-11-09 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel21 Options have been added to the grid generator so you can define the origin and entry points as well as set the grid size to less than 1 degree. Note that there is still little error checking, so putting in dubious numbers can cause QGIS to crash.

2004-11-04 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel20 Scale dependent visibility support added for both raster and vector layers.

2004-11-02 [larsl] 0.5.0devel19 A menu item has been added to create an empty GPX file.

2004-10-31 [timlinux] 0.5.0devel18 Bug fix # 1047002 (tag buffer enabled / disabled checkbox does not work).

2004-10-30 [larsl] 0.5.0devel17 qgsfeature.h is required in qgsvectordataprovider.cpp because a QgsFeature is being removed, this was fixed.

2004-10-29 [larsl] 0.5.0devel16 DefaultValue () has been added in QgsVectorLayer and QgsVectorDataProvider, implemented in GPX provider.

2004-10-29 [stevehalasz] 0.5.0devel15 * Write over layers in project files in the correct order by iterating over zOrder on the map canvas. Bug # 1054332 is fixed.

* Tag is removed of the dtd. It is superfluous.

2004-10-26 [mcoletti] 0.5.0devel13 This modification is about saving and restoring drives in project files. Many minor bug fixes and one cleanup were made.

2004-10-22 [larsl] 0.5.0devel12 More unused code was removed in the GPS plug-in, the source of the GPS plug-in was modified to better follow coding standards.

2004-10-22 [larsl] 0.5.0devel11 Made some changes to the GPS plugin: * Changed the “GPS Importer” action tooltip to “GPS Tools” *. Removed some old code that was not used. * Made upload/download tools much more flexible by allowing users to specify “devices” with upload and download commands. * Remembers the last device and port used for uploads and downloads. * Remembers the last directory in which a GPX file was loaded.

2004-10-20 [mcoletti] The 0.5.0devel10 was merged into qgsproject-branch

2004-10-19 [larsl] 0.5.0devel9 GPX attribute names were changed from three letter abbreviations to full words to make them more user friendly.

2004-10-19 [larsl] 0.5.0devel8 mFeatureType in qgsgpxprovider.cpp changed from a QString to an enumeration to avoid unnecessary string comparisons.

2004-10-18 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel7 Test added to GEOS for acinclude.m4 and configure.in. Members / methods were added in preparation for scale dependent rendering support. Added Show tab to vector dialog to allow setting of minimum and maximum scales for rendering.

2004-10-18 [larsl] 0.5.0devel6 Duplicate code removed, limit calculation added for digitized features in GPX provider.

2004-10-18 [larsl] 0.5.0devel5 GPX provider changes: * IsEditable (), isModified (), commitChanges () and rollBack () implemented. * Eliminated useless lat and lon attributes in waypoint characteristics. * Cleared attribute analysis in addFeature (). The GPX edition should now work again.

2004-10-17 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel4 The OGR provider now uses GEOS to select characteristics when doing identification and selection operations.

2004-10-16 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel3 Fixed OGR filters in Add Layer dialog using fix in qgsproject-branch. Qgisappbase.ui images are reverted to XPM so that QGIS compiles to Qt <3.x.

2004-10-11 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel2 Added man page (QGIS.man) which installs in man1 as QGIS.1

2004-10-09 [gsherman] 0.5.0devel1 The name of the Simon home screen was changed. Simon is now called aggregate. Fixed command line loading error to remove false warning for vector layers. Splashscreen.cpp was modified to allow the specification of x, and for drawing text on the splash image. Imperfectly fixed issue where PostGIS attributes are not displayed if primary key is not of type int4 (bug 1042706). Added a Latvian language translation file (currently untranslated).

2004-09-23 [larsl] 0.4.0devel38 Support for loading LOC files from Geocaching.com has been removed.

2004-09-20 [tim] 0.4.0devel37 Shameless acknowledges that it does not keep this file up to date. Solve clipping problems with the labeler.

2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel36 Added the uniquevaluemarker element definition to QGIS.dtd.

2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel35 Revised bug 987874, provider will skip functions without geometry but will continue reading other functions.

2004-09-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel34 Fixed bug 987874 which caused QGIS to crash when displaying attribute table for ShapeFile layers with NULL geometry characteristics (GetGeometryRef () returns NULL) - OGR provider now handles features with NULL geometry as NULL functions, that is, EOF.

2004-09-15 [larsl] 0.4.0devel33 The QgsUValMaDialogBase was fixed so the listbox does not take up all the space.

2004-09-14 [larsl] 0.4.0devel32 SVG icons added in src / svg / gpsicons.

2004-09-13 [larsl] 0.4.0devel31 Single value marker renderer added.

2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel30 SVG symbols are scaled down. Rasters are displayed without geo-transformation information 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 loading a layer with a dot.

2004-09-12 [larsl] 0.4.0devel28 The device lists in the GPS plugin should also show / dev / ttyUSB * devices (for serial USB adapters) on Linux.

2004-09-08 [larsl] 0.4.0devel27 The error that hung in QGIS when the user selected records in the attribute table for a layer using the single marker renderer was fixed.

2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel26 Start of the new file class of the qgs project. Obviously, the work is in progress. Committed to supporting common sense and getting feedback from those who disagree.

2004-09-01 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel25 QgsRect:

QgsPoint copy on ctor is no longer wasted

2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel23 Plugin toolbar moved to qgisappbase toolbar container instead of dynamically assigning it. This allows the docking / status position to be reset each time the application is started.

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; superfluous code commented

2004-08-26 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel21 Command line arguments are now explicitly checked through $ # instead of $ @. When using $ @, the script crashed when more than one command line argument was passed (for example, 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 refer to the same instance).

2004-08-25 [mcoletti] 0.4.0devel19 Removed two data members that referred to the Singleton QgsMapLayerRegistry object. Now explicitly use QgsMapLayerRegistry :: instance (), which emphasizes that you are accessing Singleton.

2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel18 Fixed a bug that caused the SVG markers to be huge when oversampling was triggered.

2004-08-22 [larsl] 0.4.0devel17 Fixed transparency on SVG symbols.

2004-08-21 [larsl] 0.4.0devel16 Added a black frame around the white rectangle around the SVG symbols to make it look cleaner, can be removed when transparency is fixed.

2004-08-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel15 More attribute fields were added to the GPX provider: cmt, desc, src, sym, number, urlname.

2004-08-20 [larsl] 0.4.0devel14 Forgot to calculate limits for routes and tracks added by user in GPX provider, causing unpredictable drawing errors as selection would not work. Fixed up.

2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel13 Common toolbar icons moved to dropdown tool menus. This includes overview, hide / show all, and capture tools

2004-08-18 [jobi] 0.4.0devel12 Italian translation added thanks to Maurizio Napolitano who updated all translations.

2004-08-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel11 GPX file write implementation: GPX layers are now written back to the file when the features are added.

2004-08-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel10 * More scanning support for GPX provider. Routes and tracks can now be created. Nothing is written to the file yet.

2004-08-14 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel9 Zoom added to the mouse wheel. Moving the wheel forward increases the zoom by a factor of 2.

2004-08-12 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel8 Capture icons have been rearranged and added to the MapNavigation action group so that the icons remain pressed while the tool is active. (errors 994274 and 994272) Fixed the preferences error (992458) that caused themes to disappear when setting options.

2004-07-19 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel7 Fixed setDisplayField function in qgsvectorlayer. Added display/label field handling. The field is now set when the layer is added by examining the fields and trying to make a "smart" choice. The user can then change this field from the layer properties dialog. This field is used as the name of the element in the identification box (top of the tree for each feature and its attributes), and will eventually be used in the tagging features. Postgres add layer dialog cleanup Removed excessive debugging output from qgsfeature.

2004-07-18 [larsl] 0.4.0devel6 Graduated marker rendering has been changed to use SVG cache.

2004-07-17 [larsl] 0.4.0devel5 SVG cache added and started using it in Single Marker renderer.

2004-07-10 [larsl] 0.4.0devel4 Code added 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. I have not tested GRASS vector layers, but it should work.

2004-07-09 [gsherman] 0.4.0devel3 First step in defining PostgreSQL layers using a where clause in the data provider. The 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 keyword where

2004-07-05 [ts] 0.4.0devel2 Added an option to force redraw by adding a raster intended for plugins.

2004-07-05 [larsl] 0.4.0devel1 A lot of code has been moved from PluginGui to Plugin in GPS plugin, signals and slots are used for communication.

2004-06-30 [jobi] 0.3.0devel58 The added interface version for libqgis is ready to be released.

2004-06-28 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel57 Overview of Patch rectangle extension error correction (from strk) for calculating the extent of the PG layer. QgsActetate * documentation updates.

2004-06-28 [jobi] 0.3.0devel56 bug fix # 981159, warnings cleared.

2004-06-28 [ts] 0.3.0devel55 Added show / hide all layer buttons and menu items.

2004-06-27 [larsl] 0.3.0devel54 The GPS upload code is enabled again.

2004-06-27 [ts] 0.3.0devel53 Numerous bug fixes and cleanings. Added remove all layers from overview button.

2004-06-26 [ts] 0.3.0devel52 Extensions are now successfully restored when the project loads.

2004-06-24 [ts] 0.3.0devel51 Completion of projection fixes to freeze the canvas and restore the zorder properly. The small problem with restoring extensions needs to be solved properly.

2004-06-23 [mcoletti] 0.3.0devel50 The error which could not be downloaded from QgsMapLayer * to QgsVectorLayer * was fixed. Apparently this was because the dlopen () 'd files did not have full access to the global variables. Plugins can now use global variables by binding to -dynamics and using the RTLD_GLOBAL flag from dlopen ().

2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel49

Revised raster statistics that output update progress do not do this when fetching cache statistics. The QGisApp progress bar now updates as each layer is rendered in the mapCanvas. Some minor updates to the projection were made.

2004-06-21 [larsl] 0.3.0devel48 The GPS graphical user interface was hooked to the code that gpsbabel uses to import many GPS file formats into GPX.

2004-06-21 [jobi] 0.3.0devel47 Checking for wrong UI version added to make it correct wrong versions and DOS end lines.

2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel46

I got tired of always restarting my gidbase directory every time QGIS is restarted - this was added to qsettings.

2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel45

Buffering has been completed so that both the bar and text are visible regardless of whether the surfaces are light or dark.

2004-06-21 [ts] 0.3.0devel44

Fixed error [973922] The overview shows layers in wrong order.

Fixed the show stop bug where the maplayerregistry was not properly erased on the new file.

Added setZOrder to be used in the following commit to fix the projection zorder problem.

2004-06-20 [ts] 0.3.0devel43

A 'mapcanvas' is fixed so that it does not freeze when loading the raster error.

2004-06-19 [ts] 0.3.0devel42

A white buffer is added around the text in the scale bar… it is the buffer that is hovering over the lines to come…

2004-06-18 [larsl] 0.3.0devel41 Added an option to set the scale bar length to the nearest integer <10 times the power of 10.

2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel40

Win32 support for the package path, which is expected to ensure that both the mini pyramid icons and overview are now displayed in the legend entry.

Beginnings of writing generic vector files: incomplete and does nothing useful, except that you have the ability to make a ShapeFile with a couple of user-defined fields, for example to create a new Point ShapeFile:

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); }

2004-06-16 [larsl] 0.3.0devel40 Added code skeleton to import other GPS file formats using GPSBabel.

>>>>>>> 1.136 2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel39 Added a small icon that is displayed in the raster legend, it shows if the layer is in the overview or not. This icon needs "request!" Need to make it pass by vector once you figure out where to put the code!

2004-06-16 [ts] 0.3.0devel38 A new menu / toolbar option was added to add all loaded layers to the overview.

2004-06-15 [larsl] 0.3.0devel37 More preparation for the GPS load code in the new function in QgisInterface - getLayerRegistry ().

2004-06-14 [ts] 0.3.0devel36 Added ability for plugins to delete current project ignoring dirty flag of project (ie force a new project).

2004-06-14 [ts] 0.3.0devel35 AddRasterLayer (QgsRasterLayer *) has been added to the plugin interface. This allows plugins to build their own raster object, set their symbolization, and pass it to the application to load on the canvas.

2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel34 Gps deps in qgisapp removed.

The raster load was moved to a group at the end of the qgisapp.cpp file.

Generically usable fns rasters have been removed from qgisapp for static qgsrasterlayer methods.

Some renaming of variable names, etc.

The private addRaster method (QgsRasterLayer *) has been added to qgisapp, which is designed to be used through plugins that want to load the 'ready made' / symbolized raster layer in the mapCanvas.

2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel33

Globally changed the sources of Legen elements to Arial 10pt to maintain consistency with the rest of the user interface. It will be encoded in binary code in qgsoptions in the next version.

2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel32 Added version name for splash.

2004-06-13 [ts] 0.3.0devel31 A new type of map cursor has been implemented: Capture Point (small pencil icon on the toolbar). At the moment, when clicking on the map in capture point mode, QgsMapCanvas will emit an xyClickCoordinate (QgsPoint) signal that will be picked up by qgisapp and the coordinates will be placed on the system clipboard.

In version 0.5, this will be expanded to provide simple data capture / digitization ease from point vector files. This will be implemented through a plugin that will use the aforementioned xyClickCoordinate (QgsPoint) signal.

2004-06-12 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel30 Windows Compatibility: Many changes.

2004-06-11 [larsl] 0.3.0devel29 User is allowed to choose GPS protocol and feature type for download.

2004-06-10 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel28 An extension rectangle screen has been added to the general map. The current implementation is not optimized (requires repainting the summary canvas to show the updated rectangle). Acetate layer support added to map canvas. Currently there is only one type of acetate object: QgsAcetateRectangle, which inherits from QgsAcetateObject. More types of acetate will follow ...

2004-06-10 [ts] 0.3.0devel27 Modified projection (serialization and deserialization of project files) to use maplayerregistry and not mapcanvas.

State handling of the 'showInOverview' property has been implemented in the io project.

2004-06-10 [petebr] 0.3.0devel26 SPIT GUI fixed to match plugin template. Fixed the bug in the scale bar showing the wrong size bar. All plugins have been fixed, so they no longer update multiple times on exit. Color selection added for scale bar.

2004-06-09 [mcoletti] 0.3.0devel25 Added support for a feature type name in QgsFeature. The ShapeFiles GDAL / OGR provider now also provides the feature type name.

2004-06-09 [petebr] 0.3.0devel24 Added the scale bar plugin. My first plugin alone! 🙂

2004-06-09 [ts] 0.3.0devel23 Added “Show in overview” option to vector popup menu.

General version information removed from qgisapp debug only.

"Plumbing" was done to enable deactivation of layers in the overview of the pop-up context menu. Good news. 🙂

All that remains to be done now is to tune the layer order between the main map canvas and the overview canvas.

2004-06-09 [ts] 0.3.0devel22 The error causing QGIS to crash when an empty .dbf is found has been fixed. Transparency slider added to raster popup menu.

2004-06-09 [larsl] 0.3.0devel21 'GPS Download File Importer' tab hidden.

2004-06-08 [larsl] 0.3.0devel20 GPSBabel is called using QProcess instead of system (), showing a progress bar while GPSBabel is running, it also shows the messages printed on the GPSBabel stderr if something goes wrong.

2004-06-08 [larsl] 0.3.0devel19 Data download capability for GPS started to be added. Only tracklogs on Garmin devices are currently enabled. Routes and waypoints as well as Magellan support will arrive in the near future.

2004-06-08 [jobi] 0.3.0devel18 Fixed ts files updated. Additional translation support for external helper applications (grid_maker and gpsimporter) was added to the German translation.

2004-06-07 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel17 Update threshold added to user options. The refresh threshold defines the numerical characteristics to read before updating the map display (canvas). If set to zero, the display does not update until all features have been read.

2004-06-07 [larsl] 0.3.0devel16 Some calls were changed to QMessageBox :: question (), to QMessageBox :: information () since Qt 3.1.2 has no question ().

2004-06-07 [ts] 0.3.0devel15 The map overview was implemented using maplayers instead of snapshots of a raster layer.

The QgsMapLayerRegistry Singleton object has been implemented which tracks the loaded layers. When a layer is added, an entry is made in the registry. When a layer is removed, the record emits a layerWillBeRemoved signal that is connected to any mapcanvas, legend, etc. who may be wearing the cape. Objects that use the layer can remove any references to the layer, after which the record removes the object from the layer.

This fixes an issue when adding a general map that caused QGIS to crash when a layer was removed because it was trying to remove the same pointer twice.

Added better implementation of the general map below the map legend.

Refactoring in QGIS app: All private members now adhere to QGIS naming conventions (prefixed with m).

Import Note * NOW ONLY THE MAPLAYER RECORD MUST DELETE QgsMapLayer :: LayerType *

2004-06-03 [ts] 0.3.0devel14 The getPaletteAsPixmap function has been added to the raster and is displayed in the raster accessories dialog. The metadata dialog box for the gdaldatatype raster props was also added.

2004-06-04 [jobi] 0.3.0devel13 Fixed bug with fixed GDAL_LDADD plugin names fixed.

2004-06-03 [jobi] 0.3.0devel12 Bug # 965720 was fixed by adding math.h for gcc 3.4 problems.

2004-06-02 [ts] 0.3.0devel11 The draw () maplayer and its vectorlayer subclasses as well as rasterlayer have been modified so that they do not need the src parameter (this can be obtained from painter → device ()).

More work on the printing system: it only works well in A4 format.

NorthArrow and copyright tag plugins are now hidden before issuing update signals when OK is pressed.

QGSMapCanvas can now return the scale (last calculated) using getScale.

QGSMapCanvas Impl struct has been renamed to CanvasProperties. The QGSMapCanvas impl_ member has been renamed to mCanvasProperties.

2004-05-31 [ts] 0.3.0devel10 Basic printing capability added to QGIS… consider this a work in progress.

2004-05-31 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel9 QgsIdentifyResultsBase was changed to inherit from QWidget instead of QDialog, so window position can be saved / restored from user settings every time. QGIS.h int version number changed to 300 (should have been done in version).

2004-05-30 [ts] 0.3.0devel8 The misplaced status text on the splash screen has been fixed.

2004-05-27 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel7 The schema issue with the spit plugin has been fixed.

2004-05-27 [jobi] 0.3.0devel7 Cleaning of gcc warnings was performed.

2004-05-27 [petebr] 0.3.0devel6 The buttons in the GUI have been modified for a standardized design - HELP - REQUEST - OK - CANCEL.

2004-05-26 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel5 Added theme selection to user preferences dialog box. There is currently only one (default) theme available

2004-05-26 [gsherman] 0.3.0devel4 Support for added themes to load png icons during startup. This solves the ugly icon problem when it is encoded as xpm in the user interface files. See the comments in the QgisApp :: settheme () function for more details.

2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel3 Added some calls to std :: string :: c_str () to make Qt without STL work smoothly.

2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel2

2004-05-26 [larsl] 0.3.0devel1 Fixed a bug that caused legend checkboxes to always disable when using Qt 3.1.2 when QgsLegendItem :: setOn () was removed, I don't know how this affects the Qt newer.

2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel37 Legend widgets are also displayed in debug mode.

2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel36 A few more instances of the same error in the raster layer were fixed.

2004-05-25 [ts] 0.2.0devel35 Description widget disabled for release. Minor bug fix in raster layer picker by Larsl, only found with iFin users. Other miscellaneous solutions including proper rotation support for north arrows in 4 corners of screen, improved n-arrow update behavior and copyright plugin. There is now a better status for copyright blocking.

2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel34 All ts files have been updated and new messages have been translated into the Swedish language file.

2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel33 Updated Swedish translation

2004-05-25 [larsl] 0.2.0devel32 Plugins / copyright_label / pluginguibase.ui were rescued with designer 3.1 to fix the const problem.

>>>>>>> 1.120 2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel31 First working version for the gui pyramid manager (implemented as a tab in raster supports). The raster legend input now spans the width of the legend and displays an icon indicating whether the layer has overviews or not. Struct and qvaluelist have been added to the raster to store the state of the pyramids.

2004-05-20 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel30 Version name changed to Madison in QGIS.h QgsScaleCalculator added to libqgis specification in src / Makefile.am. Additional debug statements in the GRASS data provider.

2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel29 Added a pyramid / no pyramid icon to the raster legend entry and made the legend map fill all available space in legend width. Added new directory for icons in src to be installed in PKGPATH / share / icons.

2004-05-20 [ts] 0.2.0devel28 The splash has been changed to load the image from the file instead of including xpm. Hopefully this will speed up the build times for people who build on p133. Changed splash image to 'fluff' ball ready for version 0.3.

2004-05-19 [larsl] 0.2.0devel27 Implemented nextFeature (List &) in the GPX provider.

2004-05-18 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel26 The files qgsappbase.ui and qgsprojectpropertiesbase.ui (modified in version 0.2.0devel25) were saved using qt designer 3.1.2 to preserve backward compatibility.

2004-05-18 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel25 Changes were made to implement scale display for map data in feet, meters, and decimal degrees. A new menu item is added to the Tools menu to select map units. These settings are not currently saved with a project file. ALL: 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 qt designer version 3.1.2…

2004-05-18 [ts] 0.2.0devel24 Relax with checking raster file type extensions to accommodate file types whose extension is unpredictable (eg GRASS). Now gdal is used to quickly check if a file is usable, so practically everything should be obtained with gdal iscompile if the wildcard filter has been chosen in the add raster dialog.

2004-05-17 [larsl] 0.2.0devel23 Analysis of aggregated URLs and attribute fields was performed to route and trace GPX layers.

2004-05-17 [ts] 0.2.0devel22 Added support for Save as Image to save in any QImageIO compatible format. The File-> SaveAsImage dialog filter list is now automatically generated when asking QImageIO for its supported formats. File-> SaveAsImage remembers the last used directory (stored in qsettings). It is supposed to remember the last filter used, but there is a problem with that that needs to be resolved.

2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel21 Added url / link parsing to GPX provider.

2004-05-16 [larsl] 0.2.0devel20 Fixed file name extension for PNG files.

2004-05-15 [larsl] 0.2.0devel19 I added my image in the About dialog box to attract more users to QGIS.

2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel18 Changes in raster properties: The order of the general tab and the symbology tab has been changed, as it normally changes directly to the symbology tab. Statistics tab and consolidated statistics in metadata tab removed. Cleanings performed in the metadata tab.

2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel17 The Raster Statistics tab now displays pyramid / general information.

2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel16 Clean up enabling/disabling controls in GPS dialog Changed the order in which different layers are loaded from a GPX file. Added the base name of the GPX or LOC file in the layer name. Changed 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 version of Qt: The layout of the main grid of the main window had an additional column.

2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel14 A tab was added to load the GPX and LOC files into the GPS plugin dialog box.

2004-05-14 [larsl] 0.2.0devel13 A virtual destructor was added to QgsDataProvider and dataProvider was removed in the destructor for QgsVectorLayer.

2004-05-13 [larsl] 0.2.0devel12 std :: string is changed to QString in GPSData :: getData () and GPSData :: releaseData () to support Qt libraries built without STL support.

2004-05-13 [ts] 0.2.0devel11 Corrections were made for segfaults in grid_make and gps_importer dbf creation.

2004-05-12 [gsherman] 0.2.0devel10 Bug fixes for OS X endian bug (more testing needed).

2004-05-12 [jobi] 0.2.0devel9 Endian checks added in reduced configuration versions in auto * checks.

2004-05-12 [ts] 0.2.0devel8 addProject (QString) added to the plugin interface.

2004-05-05 [jobi] 0.2.0devel7 QGIS-config extended to expose version

2004-05-04 [ts] 0.2.0devel6 Two new internal plugins were added: North Arrow and Copyright message overlay.

2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel5 The canvas now emits a renderComplete signal when the canvas rendering is complete, but before the screen is refreshed. Added accessory and mutators for the canvas pixel map.

2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel4 The qgisApp-> mapCanvas is now exposed through the plugin interface.

2004-05-03 [ts] 0.2.0devel3 Three new widgets have been added to the status bar: scale - displays the scale as 1: 50000 * coordinates - displays the mouse coordinates on the map in its own widget bar progress - shows the progress of any task emitting signals connected to the showProgress slot.

Added signal / slot mechanism for showExtents and set fp precision to 2 (see below)

The stringRep function in QgsRect and QgsPoint is now overloaded to allow configuration of the floating point precision for display. QgisApp and Canvas are currently encoding this to 2, but I plan to make this configurable in the options panel.

Added an example of using the progress indicator to the raster statistics collection procedure. You can see this in action when you set the sample dataset ak_shade to single-band pseudocolor, and you will see the progress indicator progress as statistics are collected.

* NOTE: Scale calculations may not be correct at this time; are still in development.

2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel2

Added preliminary support for building pyramids on raster files using the general GDAL function. Currently, it is hard coded to use the nearest neighbor algorithm with pyramids at levels 2, 4, and 8. Adding pyramids to the raster layer can greatly improve rendering performance. This new functionality is accessed by right-clicking on a raster legend entry and selecting “Build Pyramids” from the pop-up menu.

* PLEASE USE CAREFULLY * This current implementation does not warn you of possible side effects, such as:

Possible image degradation if too many pyramids are generated
Possible large magnification on the image side
This process is currently NOT KNOWN TO BE REVERSIBLE, so please back up your data before experimenting.

2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel1

Single marker symbol reused so that the directory, icon picker, preview, and scaling widget are all in one pane instead of having to spawn a new window to select an icon.

2004-04-27 [ts] 0.2.0devel0

Fixed broken bits in internal plugin generator template and updated gui default plugin template, 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 also changed.

2004-04-22 [jobi] 0.1.0devel35 Added an installation routine for svg files that added new adjusted path translations in cpp files.

2004-04-19 [jobi] 0.1.0devel34 Changed to simple macros to detect QT and GDAL. Added code to detect QGIS as m4 file in tools, it will be installed along with QT and GDAL detection in $ prefix / share / aclocal / QGIS. m4, so plugins can only use those simple updated unique macros from German translation !! The developers have to link the installed QGIS.m4 to / usr / share / aclocal / !! or where ever aclocal saves the m4 files !! otherwise it is not detected by autogen.sh plugins (more accurately !! aclocal) !! It can be tricked by adding -I path / to / QGIS.m4 to the aclocal of !! autogen.sh. But be careful not to compromise with CVS.

2004-04-18 [jobi] 0.1.0devel33 Internationalization material added. Documentation and more translations needed 🙂

2004-04-17 [ts] 0.1.0devel32 Fixed crash when opening single band grayscale images introduced by Steves which fixed MULTIBAND_SINGLEBAND_GRAYSCALE image crash. Thanks to Steves' help, all eight raster processors are working properly. This resolves the error: [934234] Segfault produced when drawing multiband image band as grayscale.

2004-04-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel31 A new plugin (grid_maker) was added to build arbitrary-sized grids and add them to the current map view.

2004-04-05 [jobi] 0.1.0devel30 Fixed qgiscommit (didn't work when in QGIS root) cosmetic for QGIS-config to be more “standardconform”.

2004-04-04 [jobi] 0.1.0devel29 GRASS provider was fixed.

2004-04-03 [ts] 0.1.0devel28 Bug fix (not confirmed yet if bug fixed!) For rendering artifacts in raster layer.

Added a new color grader for the grayscale and pseudocolor grayscale image called freak out (it's a bit psychedelic at the moment). The last class break needs a little work!

2004-04-02 [jobi] 0.1.0devel27 Verifications for autoconf, automake and libtool were added to the version. Small bug fixes.

2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel26 There is a progressive advance of the QgsFeature :: setGeometry () interface which now also passes the size of the binary buffer of known geometry.

2004-04-02 [mcoletti] 0.1.0devel25 QgsFeature::setGeometry() offset now accepts the “size” parameter for the given binary geometry string.

QgsShapeFileProvider :: endian () now uses a shorter, more standard way of estimating endian-ness.

2004-04-02 [stevehalasz] 0.1.0devel25

2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel24 qgiscommit was changed to fix all problems.

2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel23 Tools / qgiscommit were extended to pass parameters to cvs.

2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel22 GRASS plugin and provider generation have been fixed.

2004-04-01 [jobi] 0.1.0devel21 Fixed strange warning: object 'foo. $ (OBJEXT) 'created both with and without libtool; the other Makefiles were also cleaned that way.

2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel20 The small error was fixed by renaming plugins / gps_importer / shapefil.ha shapefile.h.

2004-03-31 [jobi] 0.1.0devel19 A lot of small changes were made to get the release working again. More cleaning is probably needed in the Makefiles

2004-03-27 [ts] 0.1.0devel18 Fixed the “snapshot” parameter in the cl to ensure that events are processed (ie the canvas is drawn) before taking a snapshot.

2004-03-27 [jobi] 0.1.0devel17 autogen.sh now pass the parameters to configure the fixed tools / qgiscommit using mktemp, thanks mcoletti. The pluginpath is now taken from libdir to be 64bit compatible (for example, / usr / lib64 / QGIS)

2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel13 You forgot to delete the temporary file.

2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel12 Newline removed after status line It should work fine now! Have fun!

2004-03-26 [jobi] 0.1.0devel11

Qgiscommit tool added

2004-03-26 [didge] 0.1.0devel10

Fixed bug # 920070 - 64bit plugin-libdir (for example, / usr / lib64 / QGIS) has been supported 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, will now install headers in $(prefix)/QGIS/include and libqis. * Library in $ (prefix ) / lib “src / Makefile” no longer relies on explicit dependencies and uses a better naming scheme for source files created.

2004-03-21 [ts] 0.1.0devel7

Added a thumbnail preview of the raster dialog to raster. Added drawThumbnail method to rasterlayer.cpp. Split draw method (overloaded) in rasterlayer.cpp so that some parts of the original stroke method can also be used by the drawThumbnail method.

Fixed a bug in drawing pseudocolor single-band grayscale images that prevented all class jumps from displaying.

2004-03-10 [gs] 0.1.0devel7 Added the delimited text plugin that provides gui to add delimited text layers using the delimited_text data provider. Changes to the delimited_text data provider to support zooming, display of attributes, and identification characteristics. Feature selection does not work at this time. Automatic * changes to support the creation of the delimited text provider plugin. Minor changes to QgsFeature.

2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Plugins session management completed (so active plugins are remembered when QGIS is closed and reloaded in 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 Plugins status is saved in ~ / .qt / qtrc file (in progress). The state is saved, you only need to implement code to load plugins marked as active during application startup.

2004-03-06 [ts] 0.1.0devel6 Added QgsRasterLayer :: filterLayer which is called near the end of each of the 8 renderers. This is the place for online filters. Note that eventually the filters will be split into a filter plugin mechanism.

2004-03-06 [didge] 0.1.0devel6 Changed settings for writing DEFINES to config.h.

PostgreSQL material needs testing. I have made comments for compileflags in src / Makefile.am. The reports will be published on the development distribution list.

2004-03-04 [ts] 0.1.0devel5 Added option to options dialog box to disable splash screen.

2004-02-28 [ts] 0.1.0devel5

-snapshot of the command line parameter that works now and correctly scales snapshot to pixmap size. The splashscreen has been moved to a global level so that other classes directing the startup process can access set welcome status. (in progress)

2004-02-28 [gs] 0.1.0devel5 QgsField has been refactored to use the new encoding conventions of Documented QgsField (documents added to qgsfield.h). Updated the doxygen home page section in QGIS.h. What's This help has been added to the main application window. Added providers / delimited text and associated source files to CVS.

2004-02-27 [gs] 0.1.0devel4 Fixed debug statements in main.cpp and added some verbiage to help text. The hardcoding of provider types in QgisApp :: addVectorLayer method has been removed. The call should now provide compatible arguments that the designated provider can use to open the data store and retrieve data. QgsPgGeoprocessing class changed to properly call addVectorLayer.

2004-02-27 [ts] The parser cl was changed to getopt. The project was moved by loading a loop that loads layers - Now you need to specify the name of the project file to load a file name. This ensures that only one project file is attempted to be loaded at a time. Added a capture file name parameter that will load the specified layers and project files. A screen will be taken from the map view and saved to disk as the file name; this is still under construction. Added saveMapAsImage (QString) to qgisapp so that the above cl option can be used.

2004-02-26 [ts] A tab was added to the Raster Layer Properties dialog box to display the metadata on the raster layer (using the gdal metadata)

2004-02-26 [gs] 0.1.0devel3 Added version for configure.in. QGIS now displays its version number depending on the configuration in configure.in

2004-02-24 [gs] Search radius to identify features in vector layers added to Preferences.

2004-02-23 [ts] The current view is saved to disk as a PNG image.

Version 0.1 'Moroz' February 25, 2004 Improvements to the user interface: cleaning of menus and dialogs as well as a new theme icon based on the Everaldo Crystal icon set. QGIS can load layers and / or a project at startup by specifying these on the command line. Single, Graduated, and Continuous Symbol Representatives Raster support for most GDAL formats. The raster implementation supports a variety of rendering settings, including semi-transparent overlays, palette inversion, flexible color band mapping on multi-band images, and pseudocolor creation. It has been changed to a data provider architecture for vector layers. Additional data types can be backed up by writing a provider plugin Buffer plugin for PostGIS layers. The PostgreSQL port number can be specified when making ShapeFile connections to the PostGIS Import Tool (SPIT) plugin to import ShapeFiles into PostgreSQL / PostGIS. Added a User Guide (HTML and PDF) Installation Guide (HTML and PDF) Plugin Manager to manage plugin upload / download. Plugin template to automate the most basic parts of creating a new plugin. Numerous bug fixes Libpq ++ dependency removed when compiling with PostgreSQL / PostGIS. PostgreSQL / PostGIS layers now rely on GEOS to select functions.

Version 0.0.13 December 8, 2003 New compilation system (uses GNU Autoconf) Improved classification in the attribute table Persistent selections (ShapeFiles only). The display order can be changed by dragging a layer to a new position in the legend Export QGIS view as map file Mapserver Solution for crash in SuSE 9.0 by moving mouse in legend area.

Version 0.0.12-alpha June 10, 2003 Multiple functions are displayed with the Identify Identification Function tool that returns and displays attributes for multiple functions found within the search radius. Corrections were made for endian handling on Big Endian machines. Support for PostgreSQL 7.3 schemas for database layers. Features in ShapeFiles that can be selected by dragging a selection box or selecting the records in the attribute table. Zoom to the extent of selected features (ShapeFiles only). Bug fix: bug that prevented the 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. The compilation system has changed to build with PostgreSQL support.

Version 0.0.11-alpha June 10, 2003 Preliminary implementation of Plugin Manager. Version revision in the Version revision tools menu that use port 80 to avoid problems with firewalls. Solution for PostGIS error when srid! = -1. PostGIS LINESTRING rendering solution. Connections to the database can now be removed. Fixes for the Database Connection dialog box. Fixed crash when opening attribute table of ShapeFile file twice in a row. Fixed crash when opening invalid ShapeFile files.

Version 0.0.5-alpha October 5, 2002 * A layer is removed from the map so that it no longer blocks the application. * Fixed multiple rendering error when adding a layer. * Data source is displayed in the Layer Properties dialog. * The display name for a layer can be changed using the Layer Properties dialog. * Line widths can be set for a layer using the Layer Properties dialog. * The zoom out function now works. * Zoom Previous option has been added to the toolbar. * The toolbar has been reorganized and new icons have been added. * Help | About QGIS now contains version, what's new and license information.

Version 0.0.4-alpha August 15, 2002 * Added Layer Properties dialog box. * User can set the color of the layers. * Added context menu to the list of layers in the legend. * Layers can be removed using the context menu (buggy). * Moved the KDevelop QGIS.kdevprj project file to the src subdirectory. * Fixed multiple repainting error that occurred when adding more than one layer at a time. * Fixed the bug that caused a full update at the start of a pan operation.

Version 0.0.3-alpha August 10, 2002 * Support for ShapeFiles and other vector formats. * Improved handling of extensions by adding layers. * There is a primitive legend that allows the visibility of the layer to be controlled. * About Quantum GIS implemented. * Other internal changes.

July 26, 2002 Drawing code now displays layers correctly and calculates extensions when zoomed. The zoom is still fixed and is not interactive.

July 20, 2002 Automatic repainting for coats.

July 18, 2002 PostGis layers of points, lines, and polygons can be drawn. There are still problems with map extent and layer positioning on the canvas. The drawing is manual and is not related to the painting event. There is no zoom or pan yet.

July 10, 2002 Layers can be selected and added to the map canvas collection; however, the rendering code is currently disabled and is being reorganized. So if you add a layer nothing will be drawn.

July 6, 2002 This code is preliminary and does not really have any functionality other than the ability to define a PostGIS connection and display spatially enabled tables that could be loaded.

This is the initial import of the base code into CVS on Sourceforge.net.
