    Hi Nathan,<br>
    Thanks for the quick reply. I've once (a while ago) tried compiling
    my own qgis version and failed, and without adequate internet
    connection it's too much frustration to solve it. Maybe it's time to
    give it another go, if I can muster the courage, otherwise I'll wait
    for it to appear!<br>

              is it already possible to use expression based labels, and
              if so, how can we get it? If you need someone to do some
