As far as I can tell there will probably be a few other API changes during
the hackfest..
So from my point of view there should be all API breakages done before 2.0
release.. Which actually means now..
+1 from me for doing the changes..
And applying the "hard" freeze after the hackfest..
Tim? You
Hi,
So I've now got drop shadows working for all label components: text,
buffer, and background shape and SVG [0]. I realize this is obviously late,
but the changes also introduce a small container class for temporal
labeling data that stabilizes the API [1]. In this way, the calls should

Hi Larry
+1 for pushing the drop shadows to master.

new feature? If not, I'd like to work on it over the next week.
Tim as release manager needs to decide here.

Hi!
Well I'd still vote
+1
for integrating
To me it does make a lot more sense to break the API NOW with 2.0 than
introducing some small glitches afterwards again with 2.1 or 2.2
It's just that the Hackfest starts on Thursday and .. it should be good to
have all API changes pulled in by then ..
Hi,
Here's an update on the labeling work I've been doing for the past week:
* Label backgrounds (geometric shapes and SVG) have been
implemented/committed, but currently have a couple of loose ends [0].
* Label drop shadows are essentially functional, and work for label buffers
[1]. I need a co
Hi,
Ok, I'm going to do what I can in the next week, then put it up for review
for inclusion in 2.0.
Note that these changes to the labeling engine will also work well when
moving to styles and rule-based labeling. When that happens (I think a
definite main goal for 2.1) then pretty much most of
Hi,
I'd love to have these label backgrounds and drop shadows in QGIS 2.0.
Makes sense to me to include this work despite feature freeze since a
major effort was made already to improve labeling in QGIS 2.0.
so +1 from my side.
Thank you for your work, Larry.

Hi,
In an effort to bring a basic label background feature into 2.0 before for
the freeze, I figured out a good approach that makes adding label
backgrounds much easier (better late than never, I suppose) [0]. This means
that adding SVGs and drop shadows for label backgrounds is only an extra
coup
