14. Whats new in Version 2.0.0 'Dufour'?
========================================
This is a new major release. Building on the foundation of
QGIS 1.x.x releases, QGIS Dufour introduces many new features,
improvements and bug fixes. Here is a summary of some of the
key new features.
- We have updated out icon theme to use the 'GIS' theme which introduces
an improved level of consistency and professionalism to the QGIS user
interface.
- The new symbol layer overview uses a clear, tree-structured layout
which allows for easy and fast access to all symbol layers.
- QGIS 2.0 now includes Oracle Spatial support.
- With the new data defined properties, it is possible to control symbol
type, size, color, rotation, and many other properties through feature
attributes.
- You can now place html elements onto your map.
- Having nicely aligned map items is critical to making nice printed
maps. Auto snapping lines have been added to allow for easy composer
object alignment by simply dragging an object close to another.
- Sometimes you need to align objects a curtain distance on the composer.
With the new manual snapping lines you are able to add manual snap lines
which allow for better align objects using a common alignment. Simply
drag from the top or side ruler to add new guide line.
- Ever needed to generate a map series? Of course you have. The composer
now includes built in map series generation using the atlas feature.
Coverage layers can be points, lines, polygons, and the current feature
attribute data is available in labels for on the fly value replacement.
- A single composer window can now contain more then one page.
- The composer label item in 1.8 was quite limited and only allowed a single
token $CURRENT_DATE to be used. In 2.0 full expression support has been
added too greater power and control of the final labels.
- The map frame now contains the ability to show the extents of another
map and will update when moved. Using this with the atlas generation
feature now core in the composer allows for some slick map generation.
Overview frame style uses the same styling as a normal map polygon
object so your creativity is never restricted.
- Layer blending makes it possible to combine layers in new and exciting
ways. While in older versions, all you could do was to make the layer
transparent, you can now choose between much more advanced options such as
"multiply", "darken only", and many more. Blending can be used in the
normal map view as well as in print composer.
- HTML support has been added map composer label item to give you even
