I would say expose it now since afaik there is no concrete time frame for the streaming/shapefile renderer merge?
Is the only reason not to expose it by default that it still requires some quality assurance? Assuming that at some point these improvements will become the default I would say avoid using a gui/config parameter to activate since it will just have to be removed later? Using a system parameter also seems to be more consistent with how we have dealt with such improvements in the past right? Thinking about the labeling improvements here. Anyways, no strong opinion, whatever is easiest. 2c. -Jusitn Andrea Aime wrote: > Hi, > the advanced projection handling support has been finalized for the > time being.
