[Qgis-developer] New geometry classes merged

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi devs

Finally, the new geometry classes are merged to master branch (the new 
classes are under src/core/geometry). The changes contain only the core 
classes, not included are the changes in the rendering workflow and all 
the edit tools. They would be too risky for 2.10 and will be merged at a 
later time (most likely for 2.12).

At the moment, the compatibility class  QgsGeometry should hide the 
differences to the old geometry. In practice, there will be a number of 
unexpected problems after the merge. If you encounter one, fill a ticket 
in the tracker and assign it to me (or drop a note to the devel list). 
My apologies beforehand for the trouble caused.

There are a number of provider unit tests not passing at the moment 
(mostly because of wkt formating issues). I'll go through them in the 
next days.

Regards,
Marco
