tr( "This release includes around 200 bug fixes, nearly 30 new "
"features and has had a lot of love and attention poured in "
"to it to take our favourite desktop GIS application another "
"step on the road to GIS nirvana! So much has happened in "
"the 3 months since our last release that it is impossible "
"to document everything here. Instead we will just highlight "
"a couple of important new features for you." )
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("Probably the biggest new feature is the addition of the new "
"vector symbology infrastructure. This is provided alongside the "
"old implementation - you can switch using a button in the "
"vector layer properties dialog. It does't replace the old "
"symbology implementation completely yet because there are "
"various isues that need to be resolved and a large amount "
"of testinhen it is considered ready.")
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("QGIS now has a field calculator, accessible via a button in "
"the attribute section of the vector properties, and from "
"the attribute table user interface. You can use feature "
"length, feature area, string concatenation and type "
"conversions in the field calculator, as well as field "
"values.")
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("The map composer has had a lot of attention. A grid can now "
"be added to composer maps. Composer maps can now be rotated "
"in the layout. The limitation of a single map layout "
"per project has been removed. A new composer manager dialog "
"has been added to manage the existing composer instances. "
"The composer widget property sheets have been completely "
"overhauled to use less screen space ")
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("Various parts of the user interface have been overhauled "
"with the goal of improving consistency and to improve "
"support for netbooks and other smaller screen devices. "
"Loading and saving of shortcuts. Position can now be "
"displayed as Degrees, Minutes, Seconds in the status bar. "
"The add, move and delete vertex buttons are now removed and "
"the node tool is moved from the advanced editing toolbar to "
"the standard editing toolbar. The identification tool has also "
"undergone numerous improvements.")
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("A render caching capability has been added to QGIS. This "
"speeds up common operations such as layer re-ordering, "
"changing symbology, WMS / WFS client, hiding / showing "
"layers and opens the door for future enhancements such as "
"threaded rendering and pre-compositing layer cache "
"manipulation. Note that it is disabled by default, and "
"can be enabled in the options dialog.")
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("User defined SVG search paths are now added to the options "
"dialog.")
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("When creating a new shapefile, you can now specify its CRS. "
"Also the avoid intersections option for polygons is now "
"also possible with background layers.")
+ "</p><p>" +
tr("For power users, you can now create customizable attribute "
"forms using Qt Designer dialog UIs.")
