How often do point releases happen in QGIS?
Beginning after 2.12 the development phase is always 12 weeks and the freeze phase is at least 5 weeks. Remainders are used to extend the freeze phase of LTR releases. Point releases will happen every month on the latest release branch and the LTR branch, if there are backports.
What are the new features in QGIS 3.4?
A new type of vector layer form widget for showing graphically appealing and interactive items like charts or technical drawings on the attribute form has been added in QGIS 3.4. The widget sports a flexible configuration, including example templates and expression support. This feature was developed by David Signer and Matthias Kuhn (OPENGIS.ch)
How do you change a temporary layer in QGIS?
It’s also much easier to transition these temporary layers to permanent disk-based formats. You can either click the new indicator icon or select “Make Permanent” from the layer context menu. QGIS will then prompt for a location to save the temporary layer to, then replaces it in place (keeping the same layer ID, style, form settings, etc).
Who are the Sustaining Members of the QGIS project?
QGIS is supported by donors and sustaining members. A current list of donors who have made financial contributions large and small to the project can be seen on our donors list. If you would like to become an official sustaining member, please visit our sustaining members page for details.
How does QGIS allow you to control the rendering process?
QGIS allows you to control the rendering process in a number of ways. Scale-dependent rendering allows you to specify the minimum and maximum scales at which a layer will be visible. To set scale-dependent rendering, open the Properties dialog by double-clicking on the layer in the legend.
How to use QGIS to measure distance between points?
To select a measuring tool, click on and select the tool you want to use. Measure Line: QGIS is able to measure real distances between given points according to a defined ellipsoid. To configure this, choose menu option Settings ‣ Options, click on the Map tools tab and select the appropriate ellipsoid.
How to update the feature count in QGIS?
By default, QGIS does not display any features for a layer until the entire layer has been rendered. To update the display as features are read from the datastore, choose menu option Settings ‣ Options and click on the Rendering tab. Set the feature count to an appropriate value to update the display during rendering.
