## Whats new in Version 1.0.0?

This release includes over 265 bug fixes and enchancements over the QGIS 0.11.0 release. In addition we have added the following new features:

- HIG Compliance improvements for Windows / Mac OS X / KDE / Gnome
- Saving a vector layer or subset of that layer to disk with a different Coordinate Reference System to the original.
- Advanced topological editing of vector data.
- Single click selection of vector features.
- Many improvements to raster rendering and support for building pyramids external to the raster file.
- Overhaul of the map composer for much improved printing support.
- A new 'coordinate capture' plugin was added that lets you click on the map and then cut & paste the coordinates to and from the clipboard
- A new plugin for converting between OGR supported formats was added.
- A new plugin for converting from DXF files to shapefiles was added.
- A new plugin was added for interpolating point features into ASCII grid layers.
- The python plugin installer was completely overhauled, the new version having many improvements, including checking that the version of QGIS running will support a plugin that is being installed.
- Plugin toolbar positions are now correctly saved when the application is closed.
- In the WMS client, WMS standards support has been improved.
- Complete API revision - we now have a stable API following well defined naming conventions.
- Ported all GDAL/OGR and GEOS usage to use C APIs only.

Special Requirements

- Qt 4.3.0 is required.
- The Expat XML Parser is required for the GPS plugin. This vastly improves the speed and memory management when loading GPX files.
- The raster georeferencer plugin requires the GNU Scientfic Library (GSL).

GSL and Expat are optional and required only if you want to use the georeferencer or GPS plugins respectively. SQLite is always required.

Known Issues in this Release
  General

  - QGIS is not bug free - we make no assertions as to its fitness for use for any particular purpose. Use entirely at your own risk.

  - Due to a limitation in the Quicktime graphics engine, there is a limit on the number points allowed per feature. See the Readme that comes with the OS X dmg
  Windows
