Package: qgis
Version: 0.6.0-2
Severity: wishlist
There is a new version 0.7.0 of qgis available from upstream. These
are the changes reported in
<URL:http://community.qgis.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=66&Itemid=60>:
Changes:
Whats new in Version 0.7
+ On the fly projection support to automatically project layers
from different coordinate systems
+ Map Composer for creating map layouts
+ Toolbox for running GRASS tools from QGIS. The toolbox can be
easily customized to add additional tools
+ Handling of spatially enabled tables and views in PostgreSQL
has been greatly improved. QGIS can now load any table in the
database that contains a geometry column
+ PostgreSQL views containing a geometry column can be viewed
in QGIS
+ Raster graphing tool to produce a histogram for a raster
layer
+ Raster query using the identify tool allows you to get the
pixel values from a raster by making it the active layer and
clicking on the point of interest
+ User preferences provides customizable settings for the
digitizing line width, color, and selection color
+ New symbols for use with point layers are available from the
layer properties dialog
+ Spatial bookmarks allow you to create and manage bookmarks
for an area on the map. Bookmarks are persistent and global;
meaning they are available for all projects
+ Measure tool allows you to measure distances on the map with
both segment length and total length displayed as you click
+ GPX loading times and memory consumption for large GPX (GPS)
files has been drastically reduced
+ Many enhancements to the digitizing tools have been made,
including the ability to capture data straight into
PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and improvements to the definition of
attribute tables for newly created layers
+ The Raster Georeferencer plugin can be used to generate a
world file for a raster. The plugin allows you to define
known control points in the raster coordinate system. Once
enough control points are defined, the world file can be
generated and the raster properly displayed in QGIS or other
GIS applications
+ Improvements to the Mapserver export tool
The libgdal-dev package is now installable in sid again, so I believe
it is time to update qgis in debian/main. :)
Would it be an idea to do group maintainence of qgis as part of the
debian-gis effort?
