[Qgis-developer] Planning for QGIS 1.0.0 '????'

[Jürgen E. Fischer]

Hi Tim,

I filed a ticket about this [1].  It includes links to the GEOS ticket,
changeset and the qgis patch.

There's already a changeset, so that didn't take that loooong.  But you
are right: I don't know when the next GEOS release is and when the
distributions will pick the new release up.

The GEOS patch only adds a C-API call to get the cut edges from the GEOS
polygonizer.  Which is only used for splitting polygons for
QgsMapToolSplitFeatures (see src/core/qgsgeometry.cpp:4689 [2]).

I must admit, that I'm not really sure if it's just a sanity check,
which we might - at least temporary - disable.  Or disable (again
temporarily) the whole split feature feature.
