[Qgis-user] Counting down to QGIS 2.0

[Lester Anderson]

Further to Tim's posting, is there now a list of changes to view between
the current download (1.8.0) and the upcoming version 2.0? What will be the
major changes and what new components will be available as default rather
than having to go and retrieve extra plugins.


Cheers
Lester
