I am also glad that this campaign made it.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Delay 2.6 release?..
+1 I would also prefer an extra week for testing/bug fixing. Also, the list of high priority bugs is still very long. We should not only fix blockers, but also some of the high ones. There are some high priority bugs with crashes or severe malfunctioning. Andreas * today a very odd issue has been reported, and I'm not sure is not intended behaviour (I hope not) http://hub.qgis.org/issues/11485 * a bad issue is this one http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7540 basically is pretty easy to loose features after editing/removing/adding a shapefile. I would like also to discuss about this * speaking about shapefiles http://hub.qgis.org/issues/11007 long story short: edited shapefiles in QGIS (with the reshape tool, the split features tool and others) are saved in a inconsistent state (even when removed from the project) and other gis software (tested many, OS and closed) have issues with them (they show supposedly deleted features, throw errors because of the different number of features and records, etc.). Saving the shapefile into a copy fixes the issue. A patch in OGR, that will be available in gdal/ogr 2 solves the issue, but only if closing the qgis project or removing the shapefile from the project. If a user edits a shape and copy/send it to another person (to be opened in a different software), without closing the project or removing the shape from it, then the shape will still be corrupted. cheers -- G -- ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
