Hello world. Its been a while since I posted anything here so I thought I would post an update for those curious about the planning for QGIS 0.11.0 and QGIS 1.0.

- Code currently in trunk will become QGIS 0.11.0 at the end of this month (first week of July actually)
- After QGIS 0.11.0 is branched off SVN, the code in trunk will become QGIS 1.0
- QGIS 1.0 is is planned to be released mid August.

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. Today I will giving you a basic introduction to using QgsFeatureAttribute - which allows your to retrieve the attributes for a feature in a vector layer. The attributes are descriptive data related to the geometry of the feature.

Note this is a repeat post since the original copy of this article disappeared from the blog.

First lets take a look at what we will achieve in this tutorial.

In my last tutorial I showed you how to label vector features on the map canvas. Today we will take a brief look at how to add a raster map to the canvas.

QGIS 0.9.1 is on its way in early December. For the month of November we are holding a Bug Fixing Triage to squash as many bugs as we can. If you would like to partipate by claiming some bugs, please contact me with your bug id's at tim@linfiniti.com. Happy bug hunting!

Dear all

1) Can I get a quick straw poll for the question: Can we delete all the automake stuff from svn for this release?

Respond with +1, 0 or -1 as per normal.

2) I have the checklist for the 0.9.0 release up at

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.

Today on IRC Christoher Schmidt showed us this great little video of him putting together a simple Open Layers web mapping project in about 5 minutes. Its such a pleasure to see how people are using QGIS to do cool stuff!

I've made a new preview build (windows only) for the upcoming QGIS 0.8.1 release. The 0.8.1 release will be primarily a bugfix release. There are two notable new features though:

* Many GRASS modules have been added to the GRASS toolbox
* The launcher plugin has been added to the list of available plugins

As you may be aware we are working on getting QGIS 0.8.1 bug fix release out the door. I have made a preview build for windows...
