You > can drag layers from the QGIS Browser into DB Manager and it will > import your layer into your spatial database. Drag and drop tables > between spatial databases and they will get imported. You can use the > DB Manager to execute SQL queries against your spatial database and > then view the spatial output for queries by adding the results to QGIS > as a query layer. > - Action Tool - now there is a tool on the map tools toolbar that will > allow you to click on a vector feature and execute an action. > - MSSQL Spatial Support - you can now connect to your Microsoft SQL > Server spatial databases using QGIS. > - Customization - allows setting up simplified QGIS interface by > hiding various components of main window and widgets in dialogs. > - New symbol layer types - Line Pattern Fill, Point Pattern fill > - Composers - have multiple lines on legend items using a specified character > - Expression based labelling > - 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 digitising 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 coloured relief > maps. > - Ellipse renderer - symbollayer to render ellipse shapes (and also > rectangles, triangles, crosses by specifying width and height). > Moreover, the symbol layer allows to set 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 > - New tools in Vector menu - densify geoemtries, Build spatial index > - Export/add geometry column tool can export info using layer CRS, > project CRS or ellipsoidal measurements > - Model/view based tree for rules in rule-based renderer > - Updated CRS selector dialog > - Improvements in Spatial Bookmarks > - Plugin metadata in metadata.txt > - New plugin repository > - Refactored postgres data provider: support for arbitrary key > (including non-numeric and multi column), support for requesting a > certain geometry type and/or srid in QgsDataSourceURI > added gdal_fillnodata to GDALTools plugin > - Support for PostGIS TopoGeometry datatype > - Python bindings for vector field symbollayer and general updates to > the python bindings. > - New message log window > - Benchmark program > - Row cache for attribute table > - Legend independent drawing order > - UUID generation widget for attribute table > - Added support of editable views in SpatiaLite databases > - Expression based widget in field calculator > - Creation of event layers in analysis lib using linear referencing > - Group selected layers option added to the TOC context menu > - load/save layer style (new symbology) from/to SLD document > - WFS support in QGIS Server > - Option to skip WKT geometry when copying from attribute table > - upport for zipped and gzipped layers > - Test suite now passes all tests on major platforms and nightly tests > - Copy and paste styles between layers > - Set tile size for WMS layers > - Support for nesting projects within other projects > > Happy QGIS'ing! > > Regards, > > The QGIS Team! > >
