[Qgis-developer] Ellipse renderer

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

I think it is fine to introduce API changes as long as you don't need
your changes to enter into the 1.7.x releases. We are going to break
API with remove of old symbology and old labelling and deprecated API
elements anyway so if there ever was a good time to break (hopefully
with improvements) API it would seem to me this is it.

Regards

Tim
