Tutorial 7 - Creating spatial datasets with the QGIS API

Hi all.This is a repost since the original article got deleted some
how. A while ago I decided to make some improvements to some of my code
that creates a shapefile. I was using shapelib which
is nice and simple and self contained, but I found it a little awkward
to add attributes to features in a flexible way. Since my application
use the QGIS libs anyway, I thought I may as well give using

In my last tutorial I showed you how to create temporary objects on the map canvas.

QGIS 0.9 release plans

QGIS 0.8.1 is released and with it my first stint in my new role as Release Manager. I would like to say a very big 'thank you' to all the people who helped squash bugs, submit patches, convert the build system in 0.8 branch to cmake, update the msys environment and so on. Since it was my first time orchestrating a release, there were a few kinks in the process which hopefully will not be repeated in the next release.
