[Qgis-developer] Please help to prepare the changeling for QGIS 2.12

[Tim Sutton]

Hi all


Most of you should be aware that we are in feature freeze 2.12. Each release adds more and more features, especially advanced features which are sometimes difficult to document. Could I call on those who have introduced key new features like e.g. the authentication framework, new gemetry tools, new labelling tools etc. to provide me with details descriptions of your work for the visual changelog?[1]  Those of you that are pressed for time and can’t write a lot of details, please consider just supplying a bullet list of facts and I will fill in the details.

If you have direct access to the change log, please consider adding entries, or stubs for entries (with screenshots if you can!) - again I am happy to fill in the details, but please provide enough info that we are able to test it and document it based on your description.

If you do not have direct access to the change log, please consider sending me an email with notes and screenshots if you would like me to promote a new feature.

Don’t forget to include the name of the developer for the new feature, their url, the name of the feature sponsor and their url if you are interested in promoting them.

By the way, those of you who experienced issues with the change log in the last releases, please give it another go - I made many small fixes to it over the  last month or so and (while it is certainly still not perfect) it should be more useable now.

If anyone would like to assist in writing up the changelog, please contact me. You don’t need to be a developer, just have good english writing skills, a recent nightly build of QGIS and some spare time. I would be most grateful for any help provided.

Finally could I ask folks not to blog / share the changelog on social media etc yet - lets save that for release day so that what we are sharing with people is current and complete.
