Currently QGIS supports many common vector and raster formats shapefiles
and PostgreSQL/PostGIS layers.

This is a milestone release for QGIS. This release adds:

3. Buffer plugin for PostGIS layers
4. Improved user interface
5. Help files in HTML and PDF
This release adds:
Simple and graduated SVG marker symbols
SVG Marker library
Mapcanvas is updated as features are drawn (every 1,000 features)
WhatsThis? help for menus and toolbar buttons
Save map canvas as an image (.png)
Search radius for identifying features can be specified in the preferences dialog
Splashscreen can be disabled in user preferences
Raster statistics
Thumbnail preview in raster properties dialog
Metadata tab in raster properties dialog
Internationalization for several languages
Snapshot mode (invoked from command line)
Command line options for loading project files/layers
Currently loaded plugins are restored each time QGIS is started
New Core Plugins
Delimited text plugin for creating a map layer from a set of x, y coordinates
GPS importer plugin
Grid/graticule maker plugin
Grass plugin
New Contributed Plugins
Launcher plugin runs a system script or program
Worldmap

TODO,v 1.19 2004/04/03 16:42:34 gsherman Exp
#############################################################################
TODO List for getting to version 0.2 (in no order of importance)
#############################################################################
1. Add vector of view extents and replace the Previous Extent
function with Forward and Back view buttons to allow user to move back and
forth between views.
2 [DONE (TS)] Can the loaded plugin list be remebered from one session
to the next?
3. On the properties dialog for pg layer, can you make an apply button or
wait cursor or progress bar. The gui is currently quite unresponsive when
changing the layer type.
4. [DELAYED] PostgreSQL/PostGIS layer management plugin (create/delete layers)
Forward and Back view buttons to allow user to move back and forth between
views.
5. GRASS support tested and implemented.
6. Create SVG marker directory and supply a minimal set of markers for this
release.

#############################################################################
TODO List for getting to version 0.1 (in no order of importance)
#############################################################################
1. [DONE TS/MH] Fix QgsProjectIo so that qgis projects can be saved and
loaded. Major areas needing attention are customized raster settings and
symbology for vector layers.
2. [DONE (GS)] Plugin manager needs to track which plugins are already
loaded and allow user to unload a plugin from the plugin manager dialog.
3. [DONE (TS)] Raster legend items need to be fixed to properly display raster
name and a suitable pixmap. Will improve later.
4. [DONE (TS/GS)] Implement context menus for raster and vector layers.
Will add advanced functions later.
5. [DONE (SH)] Toolbar buttons related to layer functions need to be disabled
when not appropriate (eg. table and select buttons when a raster is
selected in the legend)
6. [DONE DA/GS] SPIT integration needs to be completed. The libpq++ dependency must be
removed and the current open bugs (sf.net) need to be resolved.
7. [DONE (MAC)] Adjust the open dialog for "shapefiles" to allow other formats supported
by OGR.
8. [DONE (TS)] Move the "All rasters" filter to the top of the rasters
open dialog.
9. [DONE (TS)] Remove *.adf from all rasters filter
10. [DONE (GS)] Add options dialog to store user preferences (only browser
preference is stored at present).
11. [PARTIALLY DONE (GS/TS) Add Help (HTML opened in user specified browser)
12. [DONE (TS)] Modify cursors so the black cursor / transparency bounndaries
are bordered with a 1 pixel wide white border (to prevent losing the cursor
over all black image regions.
13. [DONE (MAC)] Update file open boxes to remember the last filter used in that session.
14. [DELAYED TILL 0.2] Add vector of view extents and replace the Previous Extent
function with Forward and Back view buttons to allow user to move back and
forth between views.
15. [DONE (GS)] Prompt user to save / are you sure before opening a new project
and losing everything in the current one.
16. [DONE (GS)]The geoprocessing menu, having the remove plugin option there
does not make sense to me - it is better managed by your nice plugin manager
- otherwise if you have more then one geoprocessing plugin that menu will
be very cluttered.
17. [DELAYED TILL 0.2] Can the loaded plugin list be remebered from one session
to the next?
18. [REJECTED - User may have more than one connection or wish to create a new
connection at startup] The postgres vector layer dialog, could it
automatically do the connect and show list of layers?
19. [DONE (GS)] The postgres vector layer dialog, could you make it that double
clicking a layer loads it?
20. [DONE (GS)] When loading a pg layer, can you make the default name just the
table name and show schema and geom stuff in properties box only?
21. [DONE (GS)] Can you upper case the first letter of a name in the legend
(implemented separately in qgsvectorlayer and qgsrasterlayer)
22. On the properties dialog for pg layer, can you make an apply button or
wait cursor or progress bar. The gui is currently quite unresponsive when
changing the layer type.
23. [Done [TS and MH)] Go through all dialogs and neaten up field labels to mixed case -
e.g. on symbolisation dialog for vectors

For version 0.2
1. PostgreSQL/PostGIS layer management plugin (create/delete layers)
2. Add vector of view extents and replace the Previous Extent function with
Forward and Back view buttons to allow user to move back and forth between
views.
