Hi all,

I'd like to merge the rendercontext branch soon. Therefore I'm repeating my 
call to test the branch and report comments and bugs.

Regards,
Marco

Hi all,

Note that the render context branch is now in a stage where it can be tested.
You may check out the branch with: 
'svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/branches/rendercontext-branch 
qgis_rendercontext'

Regards,
Marco
