[Qgis-developer] Merging of incompatible changes

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Pirmin and others,

 Tim should correct me - but as far as I remember we said that threading 
 support is one of the major things we want to see in QGIS 2.0 (along 
 with raster redesign, atlas printing and others). But none of us were 
 sure in what timeframe Martin can work on it and when it will be 
 finished. Therefore we decided not to make it a blocker.

 We also decided that the geometry refactoring (for arcs, splines, 
 z-values, m-values, multitype geometries, etc.) should be done after 
 QGIS 2.0. I am not sure if this would again mean API breaks ...

 So I am against postponing the multithreading work and I had the 
 impression that this was the conclusion of others as well.

 Andreas
