[Qgis-user] Announcing the release of QGIS 2.10 'Pisa'

Wed Jul 22 05:41:19 PDT 2015

Hi Nicolas, 

Below is the list of Nyalls Dawsons improvements concerning the raster
calculator and a separate list of improvements in the raster
georeferencer. Note that this was only possible, because we could pay
him through the donations and sponsorship money we receive from our
users. A handful of selected QGIS devs invested each a couple of days to
improve QGIS. The donations/sponsorship money allows them to concentrate
on the bug fixing work. 

-------------------- 

- (unreported) Fix a bug causing raster blocks to be cleared when
reprojecting
- #9081 (NORMAL) [rastercalc] Switch all internal calculations to
doubles for more accurate calculations
- [rastercalc] Add test suite for raster calculator
- [rastercalc] Fix errors with log/log10 calculation and inputs <= 0
- [rastercalc] Fix loss of nodata values in certain circumstances
- #12450 (BLOCKER) [rastercalc] Rework raster calculator to use QGIS
raster classes rather than reading input layers directly through GDAL.
Benefits include more robust handling of nodata/data type conversions,
less code duplication, also being able to take advantage of features in
QGIS raster code like handling gain/offset in rasters.
- #3649 (LOW) [rastercalc] Add a choice of output projection to the
raster calculator. Previously the output CRS would be taken from the
first raster, with no guarantees that the output extent matched the
output CRS. This resulted in empty/misplaced rasters.
- #7589 (NORMAL) [rastercalc] Fix handling of unquoted bands > 9 

------------------------- 

- (unreported) Fix crash when loading new project with georeferencer
open
- #4602 (NORMAL) Ensure all GCPs are shown in georeferencer report
- #6215 (NORMAL) [georef] Add reset menu action to remove GCP and close
current raster
- #3804 (LOW) [georef] Don't allow overwriting input raster
- (unreported) [georef] Don't crash when loading invalid GCP files
- #7429 (NORMAL) [georef] Show messages when georeferencer creates a
world file
- #10018 (NORMAL) [georef] fix raster not loaded into main canvas when
creating a world file
- [georef] Show success message in messagebar
- [georef] Make plugin less frustrating to use by adding a message bar,
and converts most message boxes to message bar messages. Now, most
transformation parameters are checked when the transform is attempted,
rather then when the transform properties dialog is opened. This avoids
the frustrating situation where the transform settings dialog blocks you
from selecting transform parameters before adding GCPs
- #10480 (NORMAL) [georef] Fix coordinates truncated to 2 decimal
places in table
- (unreported) [georef] Fix untranslatable strings
- (unreported) [georef] Fix crash when closing georeferencer window
while editing a GCP list item
- #4311 (NORMAL) [georef] Fix blank PDF for generated PDF map
- (unreported) [georef] Correctly restore paper size when opening
settings dialog
- (unreported) [georef] Save/restore window positions
- [georef] Modernise georeferencer UI 

Note that Nyall did a lot more bug fixing in other areas of QGIS, along
with other devs.
