The QVariant type doesn't exist any more

Wow, really very good news for the Python and Python console lovers:  the
end of the PyQt  pollution in the data processing (as in gvSIG, see 
http://blog.gvsig.org/2013/05/21/gvsig-2-0-scripting-exploit-your-gvsig-iii-generate-a-polygon-from-a-course/
http://blog.gvsig.org/2013/05/21/gvsig-2-0-scripting-exploit-your-gvsig-iii-generate-a-polygon-from-a-course/
  
or with the Python console of GRASS GIS):
Ideally, the use of PyQt should be limited to the creation of interfaces (as
in GRASS GIS with wxPython)

Many thanks Nathan !

 The plugin
 installer will not install a 1.8 plugin into 2.0 or a 2.0 plugin into 1.8.

Just to clarify: please note the future form of this sentence. Now we're in a 
transitional period: QGIS is switched to 2.0 API, but formally the version 
number is still 1.9, so don't be surprised the plugin manager in the *current* 
master branch (and in nightly builds) still installs incompatible 1.x plugins 
(and then tells they are invalid of course).

[Qgis-user] New QGIS users. Attention plugin authors and nightly dev users.

2013-06-08 Thread Nathan Woodrow
Hey all,

I would like to make everyone aware of a recent change that I made in the
nightly build that will break all the current plugins running in 1.9/2.0.
These changes were needed in order to give pyqgis a nicer API and needed to
happen now.  All plugins will need to be updated to the new API in order to
work in 2.0 and as such third party plugins might be broken for a while
until they are updated.

Note: 1.8 plugins will not work in 2.0 without being updated, and 2.0
plugins will not work in 1.8.

If you are a plugin author you can see a conversion guide here:
https://gist.github.com/NathanW2/5734767 It's a pretty simple update and I
suspect most plugin authors will not have any issues.   The plugin
installer will not install a 1.8 plugin into 2.0 or a 2.0 plugin into 1.8.

Dev nightly users please bare with us while we sort this out and if you are
using the nightly for production work I would suggest not updating unless
you can handle broken plugins.

Regards,
Nathan
