Less than a month after 1.2.0, the QGIS team announced the <a href="http://blog.qgis.org/node/138">release of version 1.3.0 of their popular open source GIS</a>.
>From the announcement: "<i>We have removed the 'unstable' designation from our development release series because it creates the incorrect impression that these release are more likely to crash. The development releases are usually quite stable to run, but introduce new features and API additions which some people may wish to avoid. [...] This release includes over 30 bug fixes and enhancements over the QGIS 1.2.0 release. [...] Other notable features and improvements in this release
* Marker size is now configurable when editing a layer.
* Incorporation of the analysis library into the mainstream release.
* Identify features across multiple layers.
* Added a new plugin for carrying out raster terrain analysis (computing slope aspect, steepness etc).
* A reshape tool to apply to line/polygon geometries. The part of a geometry between the first and last intersection of the reshape line will be replaced.
* Added snapping to current layer in measure dialog.
* Added ability to select the primary key for views.
* Zoom to a coordinate by entering it in the status bar coordinate display.</i>"
