[Qgis-developer] QGIS 0.9.0 Preview 1

[Tim Sutton]

Hi All

Today I've tagged 0.9.0 Preview 1 as per our release plan at

http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/ReleaseChecklist0.9

You can check out a copy doing:

svn co https://svn.qgis.org/repos/qgis/tags/Preview-0.9.0-1 qgis0.9.0Preview1

This should bring into effect the following things:

 - string freeze for UI - if you are a developer please dont change
any more UI elements or translatable strings
- call for translators to update ts files
- call for document managers to update docs based on new features in SVN
- call for packagers to create preview binaries

A source bundle for preview 1 will be made available soon.

Now is the time we call on your help to produce translations, update
documentation etc. You dont need to be a programmer to be of
assistance - all you need to do is be willing to donate some time and
have a computer.

Note that automake and qmake build systems are completely removed and
using cmake is the only way to build QGIS 0.9.0 preview 1. Please see
the INSTALL document in the source tree for detailed notes for your
platform. http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource Also
contains updated build notes for all platforms.

Many thanks for all who are pitching in to make this release happen.

Best regards
