Some proprietary formats (e.g., ECW and MrSid) supported by GDAL require proprietary third party libraries. QGIS doesn't need any of those itself to build, but will only support those formats if GDAL is built accordingly.

+

+/!\ Note: Refer to the section Building Debian packages for building debian packages. Unless you plan to develop on QGIS, that is probably the easiest option to compile and install QGIS. -

-

+

+

These notes are for Ubuntu - other versions and Debian derived distros may require slight variations in package names. -

-

+

+

These notes are for if you want to build QGIS from source. One of the major -aims here is to show how this can be done using binary packages for *all* +aims here is to show how this can be done using binary packages for *all* dependencies - building only the core QGIS stuff from source. I prefer this approach because it means we can leave the business of managing system packages to apt and only concern ourselves with coding QGIS! -

-

+

+

This document assumes you have made a fresh install and have a 'clean' system. These instructions should work fine if this is a system that has already been in use for a while, you may need to just skip those steps which are irrelevant to you. -

3.2. Prepare apt

+

The packages QGIS depends on to build are available in the "universe" component of Ubuntu. This is not activated by default, so you need to activate it: -

+

-
    -
  1. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file. -
  2. Uncomment all the lines starting with "deb" -

    +
  1. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file. +
    2. +
  2. Uncomment all the lines starting with "deb" +
    3. +
-

+

Also you will need a recent enough distribution in order for all dependencies to be met. The supported distributions are listed in the following section. -

-

+

+

Now update your local sources database: -

+

-
+
 sudo apt-get update

 mkdir -p ${HOME}/dev/cpp
 cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp

3.6. Check out the QGIS Source Code

-

There are two ways the source can be checked out. Use the anonymous method if you do not have edit privileges for the QGIS source repository, or use the developer checkout if you have permissions to commit source code changes. -

-

+

+

1. Anonymous Checkout -

+

-
+
 cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp
 git clone git://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git
-

+
-

+

2. Developer Checkout -

+

3.7. Starting the compile

-

+

I compile my development version of QGIS into my ~/apps directory to avoid conflicts with Ubuntu packages that may be under /usr. This way for example you can use the binary packages of QGIS on your system along side with your development version. I suggest you do something similar: -

+

-
+
 mkdir -p ${HOME}/apps
-

+
-

+

Now we create a build directory and run ccmake: -

+

-
+
 cd QGIS
 mkdir build-master
 cd build-master
 ccmake ..
-

+
-

+

When you run ccmake (note the .. is required!), a menu will appear where you can configure various aspects of the build. If you want QGIS to have debugging capabilities then set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Debug. If you do not have @@ -440,908 +465,988 @@

+/!\ Warning: Make sure that your build directory is completely empty when you +enter the command. Do never try to "re-use" an existing Qt4 build directory. If you want to use `ccmake` or other interactive tools, run the command in the empty build directory once before starting to use the interactive tools. -

-

+

+

Now on with the build: -

+

-
+
 make -jX
-

+
-

+

where X is the number of available cores. Depending on your platform, this can speed up the build time considerably. -

-

+

+

Then you can directly run from the build directory: -

+

-
+
 ./output/bin/qgis
-

+
-

+

Another option is to install to your system: -

+

-
+
 make install
-

+
-

+

After that you can try to run QGIS: -

+

-
+
 $HOME/apps/bin/qgis
-

+
-

+

If all has worked properly the QGIS application should start up and appear on your screen. If you get the error message "error while loading shared libraries", execute this command in your shell. -

+

-
+
 sudo ldconfig
-

+
-

+

If that doesn't help add the install path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH: -

+

-
+
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${HOME}/apps/lib/
-

+
-

+

Optionally, if you already know what aspects you want in your custom build then you can skip the interactive ccmake .. part by using the cmake -D option for each aspect, e.g.: -

+

-
+
 cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/apps ..
-

+
-

+

Also, if you want to speed your build times, you can easily do it with ninja, an alternative to make with similar build options. -

-

+

+

For example, to configure your build you can do either one of: -

+

-
+
 ccmake -G Ninja ..
-

+
-
+
 cmake -G Ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/apps ..
-

+
-

+

Build and install with ninja: -

+

-
+
 ninja (uses all cores by default; also supports the above described -jX option)
 ninja install
-

+
-

+

You can build just the targets you need using, for example: -

+

-
+
 ninja qgis
 ninja pycore
-

+
- -

3.8. Building Debian packages

+
+

3.8. Building Debian packages

-

+

Instead of creating a personal installation as in the previous step you can also create debian package. This is done from the QGIS root directory, where you'll find a debian directory. -

-

+

+

First you need to install the debian packaging tools once: -

+

-
+
 apt-get install build-essential
-

+
-

+

First you need to create an changelog entry for your distribution. For example for Ubuntu Precise: -

+

-
+
 dch -l ~precise --force-distribution --distribution precise "precise build"
-

+
-

+

The QGIS packages will be created with: -

+

-
+
 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
-

-
-

-/!\ Note: Install devscripts to get dch.
-

-

-/!\ Note: If dpkg-buildpackage complains about unmet build dependencies
-you can install them using apt-get and re-run the command.

-
+
 sudo debi

-

+
-

+

To build QGIS server additional dependencies are required: -

+

-
+
 dnf install fcgi-devel
-

+
-

+

Make sure that your build directory is completely empty when you enter the following command. Do never try to "re-use" an existing Qt4 build directory. If you want to use `ccmake` or other interactive tools, run the following command in the empty build directory once before starting to use the interactive tools. -

+

-
+
 cmake ..
-

+
-

+

If everything went OK you can finally start to compile. (As usual append a -jX where X is the number of available cores option to make to speed up your build process) -

+

-
+
 make
-

+
-

+

Run from the build directory -

+

-
+

-

+
-

+

Using configonly.bat to create the MSVC solution file: We will be using the file ms-windows/osgeo4w/configonly.bat to create an MSVC solution file. There are a few options for a solution file, following are the options: ninja, native MSVC. The advantage of using native MSVC solution is that you can find the root of build problems much easily. configonly.bat is meant to create a configured build directory with a MSVC solution file: -

-

+

+

``` configonly.bat ``` -

-

+

+

Compiling QGIS with MSVC: We will need to run MSVC with all the environment variables set, thus we will run it as follows: - Run the batch file OSGeo4W-dev.bat you created before. On the command prompt run: devenv + Run the batch file OSGeo4W-dev.bat you created before. On the command prompt run: devenv From MSVC, open the solution file - d:\OSGeo4W64\QGIS\ms-windows\osgeo4w\build-qgis-test-x86_64\qgis.sln - Try to build the solution go grab a cup of tea, it may take a. + d:\OSGeo4W64\QGIS\ms-windows\osgeo4w\build-qgis-test-x86_64\qgis.sln + Try to build the solution go grab a cup of tea, it may take a. If it fails, run it again and again until there are [hopefully] no errors. -

-

-

+

+

Install QGIS by building the INSTALL project. By default this will install to c:\Program Files\qgis<version> (this can be changed by changing the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable in cmake-gui). -

4.1.4. Packaging

-

To create a standalone installer there is a perl script named 'creatensis.pl' in 'qgis/ms-windows/osgeo4w'. It downloads all required packages from OSGeo4W and repackages them into an installer using NSIS. -

-

+

The script can be run on both Windows and Linux. -

On Debian/Ubuntu you can just install the 'nsis' package. -

4.1.5. Packaging your own build of QGIS

+
+

4.1.5. Packaging your own build of QGIS

-

+

Assuming you have completed the above packaging step, if you want to include your own hand built QGIS executables, you need to copy them in from your windows installation into the ms-windows file tree created by the creatensis script. -

+

-
+
 cd ms-windows/
 rm -rf osgeo4w/unpacked/apps/qgis/*
 cp -r /tmp/qgis1.7.0/* osgeo4w/unpacked/apps/qgis/
-

+
-

+

Now create a package. -

+

-
+
 ./quickpackage.sh
-

+
-

+

After this you should now have a nsis installer containing your own build of QGIS and all dependencies needed to run it on a windows machine. -

+

+

Read on to use the simplified approach with pre-built libraries... -

+

-

4.2.1. MSYS

+
+

4.2.1. MSYS

-

+

MSYS provides a unix style build environment under windows. We have created a zip archive that contains just about all dependencies. -

-

+

+

Get this: -

-

-http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/win32/msys.zip -

-

+

+

+http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/win32/msys.zip +

+

and unpack to c:\msys -

-

+

+

If you wish to prepare your msys environment yourself rather than using our pre-made one, detailed instructions are provided elsewhere in this document. -

+

-

4.2.2. Qt

+
+
+

4.2.2. Qt

-

+

Download Qt opensource precompiled edition exe and install (including the download and install of mingw) from here: -

-

-http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/ -

-

+

+

+http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/ +

+

When the installer will ask for MinGW, you don't need to download and install it, just point the installer to c:\msys\mingw -

-

+

+

When Qt installation is complete: -

-

+

+

Edit C:\Qt\5.9.1\bin\qtvars.bat and add the following lines: -

+

-
+
 set PATH=%PATH%;C:\msys\local\bin;c:\msys\local\lib 
 set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin" 
-

+
-

+

I suggest you also add C:\Qt\5.9.1\bin\ to your Environment Variables Path in the windows system preferences. -

-

+

+

If you plan to do some debugging, you'll need to compile debug version of Qt: C:\Qt\5.9.1\bin\qtvars.bat compile_debug -

-

+

+

Note: there is a problem when compiling debug version of Qt 4.7, the script ends with this message "mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `debug'. Stop.". To compile the debug version you have to go out of src directory and execute the following command: -

+

-
+
 c:\Qt\5.9.1 make 
-

+
-

4.2.3. Flex and Bison

+
+
+

4.2.3. Flex and Bison

+

-

4.2.4. Python

+
+
+

4.2.4. Python

-

+

Follow this section in case you would like to use Python bindings for QGIS. To be able to compile bindings, you need to compile SIP and PyQt5 from sources as their installer doesn't include some development files which are necessary. -

-

+

+

Note that even if you compile without the Python bindings, Python3 is still a necessary dependency for building QGIS. -

+

-

4.2.4.1. Download and install Python - use Windows installer

/!\ You can delete the directories with unpacked SIP and PyQt5 sources after a successful install, they're not needed anymore. -

+

-

4.2.5. git

+
+
+
+

4.2.5. git

-

+

In order to check out QGIS sources from the repository, you need a git client. This installer should work fine: -

-

+

+

+https://git-scm.com/download/win +

-

4.2.6. CMake

+
+
+

4.2.6. CMake

-

+

CMake is build system used by QGIS. Download it from here: -

-

-https://cmake.org/files/v3.9/cmake-3.9.3-win64-x64.msi -

+

+

+https://cmake.org/files/v3.9/cmake-3.9.3-win64-x64.msi +

-

4.2.7. QGIS

+
+
+

4.2.7. QGIS

-

+

Start a cmd.exe window ( Start -> Run -> cmd.exe ) Create development directory and move into it -

+

-
+
 md c:\dev\cpp 
 cd c:\dev\cpp 
-

+
-

+

Check out sources from GIT: -

+

-
+
 git clone git://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git
-

+
-

4.2.8. Compiling

+
+
+

4.2.8. Compiling

-

+

As a background read the generic building with CMake notes at the end of this document. -

-

+

+

Start a cmd.exe window ( Start -> Run -> cmd.exe ) if you don't have one already. Add paths to compiler and our MSYS environment: -

+

-
+
 c:\Qt\5.9.1\bin\qtvars.bat 
-

+
-

+

For ease of use add c:\Qt\5.9.1\bin\ to your system path in system properties so you can just type qtvars.bat when you open the cmd console. Create build directory and set it as current directory: -

+

-
+
 cd c:\dev\cpp\qgis 
 md build 
 cd build 
-

+
-

4.2.9. Configuration

+

+Note: You must include the '..' above. +

+

Click 'Configure' button. When asked, you should choose 'MinGW Makefiles' as generator. -

-

+

+

There's a problem with MinGW Makefiles on Win2K. If you're compiling on this platform, use 'MSYS Makefiles' generator instead. -

-

+

+

All dependencies should be picked up automatically, if you have set up the Paths correctly. The only thing you need to change is the installation destination (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) and/or set 'Debug'. -

-

+

+

For compatibility with NSIS packaging scripts I recommend to leave the install prefix to its default c:\program files\ -

-

+

+

When configuration is done, click 'OK' to exit the setup utility. -

Make sure to copy all .dll:s needed to the same directory as the qgis.exe binary is installed to, if not already done so, otherwise QGIS will complain about missing libraries when started. -

-

+

+

A possibility is to run qgis.exe when your path contains c:\msys\local\bin and c:\msys\local\lib directories, so the DLLs will be used from that place. -

In this approach I will try to avoid as much as possible building dependencies from source and rather use frameworks wherever possible. -

-

"Universal", SDK and non-default arch builds require more complex options and some fiddling with the system. It is best to stick with a single, default, architecture build and follow these instructions for an initial build. -Included are notes for building on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 -(Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mt.

+General note on Terminal usage: When I say "cd" to a folder in a Terminal, it means type "cd " (without the quotes, make sure to type a space after) and then type the path to said folder, then <return>. A simple way to do this without having to know and type the full path is, after type the "cd " part, drag the folder (use the icon in its window title bar, or drag a folder from within a window) from the Desktop to the Terminal, then tap <return>. -

+

+Parallel Compilation: On multiprocessor/multicore Macs, it's possible to speed up compilation, but it's not automatic. Whenever you type "make" (but NOT "make install"), instead type: -

+

-
+
 make -j [#cpus]
-

+
-

+

Replace [#cpus] with the number of cores and/or processors your Mac has. On recent models with hyperthreading processors this can be double the physical count of processors and cores. -

 /usr/sbin/sysctl -n hw.ncpu
-

+
-

which can be used in build shell scripts like: -

5.1. Install Developer Tools

-

+

Developer tools are not a part of a standard OS X installation. Up through Snow Leopard, the Developer Tools, later called Xcode, were included with the system install disks, though it's best to download the latest version compatible with your system to get important updates fixing various issues. Starting with Lion, Xcode is available as a download and from the App Store. -

-

+

+

Downloading Xcode/Developer Tools for up through Snow Leopard requires a free developer account at -developer.apple.com. Up through Snow Leopard, get the latest Xcode that is +developer.apple.com. Up through Snow Leopard, get the latest Xcode that is supported for your system. For Lion and above, you can get Xcode from either a free developer account or for a minimal fee from the app store. When installing Xcode up through Snow Leopard, make sure to do a custom install and install the Unix Development or Command Line Tools option. -

-

+

+

On Lion, if you have installed Xcode 4.0 - 4.2 and are upgrading to 4.3, it's a good idea to uninstall the old version first with: -

+

-
+
 sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools
-

+
-

+

On Lion and Mt. Lion, using Xcode 4.4+, the developer command line tools can be installed via the Xcode preferences. -

-

+

+

Xcode 4.3+ also introduces the clang frontend to the LLVM compiler as default. -

+

The supplied clang version 4 can compile QGIS, but presents many warnings compared to just using LLVM. You can specifically use LLVM by exporting paths to the compilers in Terminal, or shell scripts, prior to building QGIS: -

+

-
+
 export CC=/usr/bin/llvm-gcc
 export CXX=/usr/bin/llvm-g++
-

+
-

+

If you have trouble building some of the dependencies listed below with clang (e.g. OSG & osgEarth), try using only the LLVM compilers. -

5.2. Install Qt4 from disk image

You need a minimum of Qt-4.4.0. I suggest getting the latest (Qt 4, not 5). There is no need for the full Qt SDK, so save yourself some download time and get the frameworks only. This is available in the Libraries section of the Qt download page. -

If you want debug frameworks, Qt also provides a separate download with these. These are in addition to the non-debug frameworks. -

-

+

+

Earlier OS X systems may need an old Qt version - check the requirements of the current Qt version. To get old Qt downloads, there is an FTP link at the bottom of the download page. Files are in the qt/source (yes, even the binary packages). -

-

+

Once downloaded open the disk image and run the installer. Note you need admin privileges to install. -

+

+Leopard+ note: Qt includes a couple non-framework libraries in /usr/lib. When using a system SDK these libraries will not be found. To fix this problem, add symlinks to /usr/local: -

 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libQtUiTools.a /usr/local/lib/
 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libQtCLucene.dylib /usr/local/lib/
-

These should then be found automatically. Earlier systems may need some help by adding '-L/usr/local/lib' to CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS, CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS and CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS in the cmake build. -

Graphviz is simply installed via a regular Mac package installer. Install it first. It will place some of its binaries in /usr/local/bin/. -

For Doxygen, compiling the source is recommended over installing the app. Double-click the source tarball to unpack it, then cd to the source folder and: -

+

-

5.7. Configure the build

-

CMake supports out of source build so we will create a 'build' dir for the build process. OS X uses ${HOME}/Applications as a standard user app folder (it gives it the system app folder icon). If you have the correct permissions you may want to build straight into your /Applications folder. The instructions below assume you are building into a ${HOME}/Applications directory. -

-

+

+

You have two interactive options for configuring the build: ccmake or run Terminal commands. ccmake is a curses interface inside Terminal for CMake and allows a tabular layout for viewing and editing ALL available QGIS source CMake options. To get started initially run the Terminal method. -

This will automatically find and use the previously installed frameworks, and the GRASS application if installed. Remember to change the Qwt version if a different version was installed, and possibly paths, e.g. for Qwt 6.0.2 installed as a framework use: -

    If you are interested in seeing embedded debug output, change the following CMake option: -

    -
    +
     -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG (or RELWITHDEBINFO)
-

    -

    +

    This will flood your terminal or system log with lots of useful output from QgsDebugMsg() calls in source code. -

    -

    +

    +

    If you would like to run the test suite, you will need to do so from the build directory, as it will not work with the installed/bundled app. First set the CMake option to enable tests: -

    -
    +
     -D ENABLE_TESTS=TRUE
-

      • 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. -

      • 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. -

      • 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. -

      • 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 + Note: Most plugins written for QGIS < 1.x will need to be ported to work correctly in QGIS 2.x.

        • +
      • 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. -

    18. Whats 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. -

    • 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. -
    • Ellipse renderer - symbollayer to render ellipse shapes (and also rectangles, triangles, crosses by specifying width and height). Moreover, the symbol layer allows setting all parameters (width, height, colors, rotation, outline with) from data fields, in mm or map units -
    • New scale selector with predefined scales -
    • Option to add layers to selected or active group -
    • Pan To Selected tool -

    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 1.4.0. 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 over 350 bug fixes, over 40 new features. Once again it is impossible to document everything here that has changed so we will just provide a bullet list of key new features here. -

    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.

    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 -

    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. -

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. -
