Right -- but again, I see no concrete issues here. We have one issue which isn't a regression (postgis rasters) and is instead a feature request, and one regression which was caused by an important fix (broken grass for Windows non-English users), not a feature! (And one unknown issue cos you pasted the wrong link ;) Also - just to point out - Alessandro implemented the feature request overnight. Big kudos to him -- we finally have a stable way of using PostGIS rasters in QGIS.* Nyall * Ironically enough, this is a feature. > > Of course bugfixing is not fun for nobody and making new stuff is 10000 > times better. > > So just to be even more clear: I don't have a proposal (ping @Tim ;) ) > and I think the bug situation is not bad at all (regression or not > regression) and really think the efforts and work behind the scenes is > incredible. > > Just my 2 cents (after an unlucky workflow where I hit different bugs). > > Cheers and thanks > > Matteo > _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
