[Qgis-developer] What will be in QGIS 2.0

[Alexander Bruy]

Great list, it would be cool to get all this things in 2.0 (but not sure is this
possible with our limited resources)

Going quite well, but there are some performance issues with large and
complex vectors. Most time consuming operation is topology analysis.
Simplification itself is relatively fast.

A working draft code available at here

It would be nice to review current situation with providers and lots
of "add layer" buttons. Currently each provider creates own button
and panel becomes longer and longer. I remember, there are several
discussions on this topic and at least two solutions were proposed.

Another task — make all API functions available in Python and make
Python API more Pythonic. Also, mabe move to PySide or update
to PyQt API v2 (currently QGIS uses PyQt API v1).

There is an old patch that adds tabs support to QGIS, but there is a lot
of work to be done on it.
