Plugin Repository Security Enhancements

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:29:52 +0000

We want to share some updates we have made on the QGIS Plugin Repository. In January 2026 we shared QEP 409. The proposal seeks to improve the general working practices with QGIS plugins, adding some optional and some mandatory checks to every plugin that gets published in the QGIS plugin repo. This builds on initial work (see PR) we did to run ‘soft’ checks on every plugin when they are published.

We also ‘back ran’ the new security checks on every existing plugin in the plugin repository (latest versions only) and assigned them a security badge without blocking or removing any plugin from being published.

Reports from the winning grant proposals 2025

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 17:24:20 +0000

With the QGIS Grant Programme 2025, we were able to support 6 enhancement proposals that improve the QGIS project. The following reports summarize the work performed:

QEP 332: Port SQL Query History to Browser — Report
This enhancement has ported the “history” component of the DB Manager SQL dialog to the main QGIS browser “Execute SQL” dialog. The new command history is fully searchable, and shows historic commands grouped nicely in chronological groups. The history also includes the details of the associated connection, row count and execution time. This change was introduced in QGIS 3.44. Screencasts of the work are available in the original pull request.
QEP 333: Add screenshots to PyQGIS reference documentation — Report
This enhancement has added screenshots to the PyQGIS reference documentation, e.g. for the QgsMapLayerComboBox.html, QgsTableEditorDialog.html, QgsColorButton.html and many more. While the original proposal only promised screenshots for 100 classes, this change ended up adding over 150. The final process for adding screenshots is very straightforward and easy to implement. We’ve seen screenshots being contributed by other developers too, and hopefully this trend continues.
QEP 335: Adopt wasm32-emscripten as a build target for QGIS — Report
With this enhancement, QGIS now officially supports the wasm32-emscripten build target. All qgis-js patches have been upstreamed and qgis-js no longer requires any QGIS patches. This allows for easier creation of new qgis-js version in coordination with new QGIS versions. GitHub Actions CI ensures ongoing Emscripten compatibility. This lays the foundation for future WebAssembly-based QGIS applications and exploration of additional WASM possibilities (QGIS Processing, PyQGIS in browser, …).
QEP 336: Trusted Projects and Folders — Report
Thi enhancement has added trust levels for project files and folder (undetermined, untrusted, and trusted). The trust determination by the user can be temporary (for a single QGIS session) or saved in the user profile’s settings and remembered across sessions. The status can be modified in the corresponding options dialog (or preconfigured in the global INI file). Project trust is used to determine whether embedded scripts are permitted to run (including macros, custom expression functions, map layer actions, and attribute form custom init code).
QEP 337: Coverity Scan cleanup — Report
This enhancement has seen a massive cleanup to the QGIS code base via hundreds of fixes to issues reported by the Coverity Scan tool. From the original 1075 issues identified by Coverity Scan at the start of the project, we are now down to 145 remaining outstanding issues. All false positive issues have been marked accordingly, and many fixes submitted to QGIS to remedy valid issues in the QGIS code. The remaining issues are either non-trivial or ambiguous. Several related projects also saw fixes submitted (including MDAL, laz-perf, untwine, PDAL wrench and tinygltf libraries).
QEP 338: SIP Incremental builds — Report
This enhancement has improved the performance of clean builds through improvement to SIP itself as well as improvements on the QGIS side to not rebuild unchanged code generated by SIP. With code compilation now taking longer than SIP code generation, this effectively gives us incremental builds, just at a larger granularity.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sustaining members and donors who make this initiative possible!

Reports from the winning grant proposals 2024

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:25:06 +0000

With the QGIS Grant Programme 2024 (Updates #1 & #2), we were able to support 7 enhancement proposals that improve the QGIS project. The following reports summarize the work performed:

QEP#269 Update older annotation items to new framework — report
This enhancement introduced new annotation types, improved callout options, and a rich text editor for better formatting. Annotations can now link to a “visibility layer,” and older types are automatically upgraded for a cleaner UI. Future improvements may include handling HTML annotations, deprecating the “Form” annotation, and refining the user experience.
QEP#289 Authentication system revision (v1.1) — report
This work enhances the authentication framework by automating password synchronization with the system keychain and generating secure default passwords for new profiles. Users now experience a smoother setup with fewer manual steps, while UI tweaks improve password handling and security. These changes provide a more seamless and secure experience for both users and plugin developers.
QEP#291 Mitigate Abusive Tile Fetching on OpenStreetMap (OSM) — report
This work enhanced network caching by dynamically adjusting cache size based on available disk space, significantly improving tile storage for most users. New safeguards prevent accidental breaches of OpenStreetMap’s tile usage policy by limiting bulk downloads across various tools and warning users when thresholds are exceeded. Additionally, the default OpenStreetMap XYZ layer now uses a 96DPI tile resolution, reducing unnecessary tile requests and improving print layout exports. These changes help ensure responsible data usage while enhancing performance and usability.
QEP#287 PyQGIS linter warnings — report
This work enhanced QGIS’s Python integration by contributing upstream, directly to SIP. This approach avoids extra build-time complexity. In addition to static linting, support for deprecation messages was added, now active in QGIS (requires Python-SIP 6.9.0 or later). Due to budget constraints and dependency availability, planned updates to the plugin platform needed to be postponed.
QEP#290 Clean up point cloud index and improve its thread safety — report
This work enhanced point cloud support by providing shared pointer access to the point cloud index, cleaning up the point cloud index API, unifying local and remote implementations of EPT/COPC providers, and refining hierarchy fetching logic. These updates make point cloud handling more robust and better prepared for future use cases.
QEP#292 Implementing CI Qt6 Windows Builds through vcpkg — report
This enhancement focused on transitioning QGIS to build with Qt6 using vcpkg, streamlining dependency management and improving the Windows development experience. Continuous integration pipelines now test Qt6 builds, helping identify compatibility issues early. Additional contributions include improved build documentation, enhanced dependency tracking, modernized CMake scripts, and updates to the pull request comment bot. Preliminary work has also begun on macOS support using the same vcpkg system. These efforts lay the groundwork for a smoother Qt6 migration and long-term maintainability.
QEP#248 Authentication System: allow Database storage for authentication DB — report
This enhancement introduced a new API for managing authentication credentials in QGIS. While its immediate impact on users is limited, it addresses SQLite scaling issues for QGIS Server in cloud environments and lays the foundation for future enhancements. The update includes an abstraction layer for third-party credential storage, support for multiple prioritized encrypted and unencrypted storage options, and improved access control for authentication assets. Documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sustaining members and donors who make this initiative possible!

User Conference

The QGIS User Conference is an annual event that brings together users and developers of QGIS. The conference provides an opportunity for attendees to learn about the latest developments in QGIS, share their experiences with others, and network with other QGIS users and
developers.

Contributor Meeting

QGIS Contributor Meetings are volunteer-driven events where contributors to the QGIS project from around the world get together in a common space – usually a university campus. During these events, contributors to the QGIS project take the opportunity to plan their work, hold face-to-face discussions and present new improvements to the QGIS project that they have been working on. Everybody attending the event donates their time to the project for the days of the event.
As a project that is built primarily through online collaboration, these meetings provide a crucial ingredient to the future development of the QGIS project. The event is planned largely as an ‘unconference’ with minimal structured programme planning.

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 10:05:00 +0000

QGIS Server provides numerous services like WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS and OGC API for Features. These last years, a lot of efforts were made to offer a robust implementation of the WMS 1.3.0 specification.

We are pleased to announce that QGIS Server LTR 3.28 is now certified against WMS 1.3.0.

This formal OGC certification process is performed once a year, specifically for the Long Term Release versions. But, as every change in QGIS source code is now tested against the formal OGC test suites (using OGC TeamEngine) to avoid any kind of regressions, you can always check any revision of the code against OGC failures in our Github continuous integration results.

Reporting Back From the User Conference & Contributor Meeting in Den Bosch

Thu, 27 Apr 2023 00:02:51 +0000

Last week, we had our 25th Contributor Meeting in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. Prior to the meeting, the International QGIS User Conference, brought together 200 participants from all around the world who came to learn about QGIS and exchange ideas and best practices.

The conference programme was jam-packed with great content. Over 50 presentations were given during the conference, with the participants enjoying the Dutch atmosphere whilst building up their knowledge of QGIS and sharing their ideas. With more than 20 years of development behind us, QGIS has become a stable platform that supports geospatial decision making, analysis and decision making in all sorts of endeavours. We saw lots of talks that demonstrated this maturity, for example a presentation John Holden and Blake Esselsteyn showed how QGIS is being used to determine voting districts to support the democratic process, Angelina Savchuk showed how QGIS is being used to support the work of the Red Cross, whilst Nick Vervaal showed us how QGIS is used to make high tech artistic laser cut maps from wood.

Reports from the winning grant proposals 2022

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 10:58:16 +0000

With the QGIS Grant Programme 2022, we were able to support four proposals that are aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. The following reports summarize the work performed in the proposals.

Support building QGIS application on Qt 6 (#243) – Report
In addition to the original plan of porting the “gui” and “app” libraries to Qt 6, it was possible to complete also the “3d” and “server” libraries. We now are at a stage where the majority of QGIS builds and runs without any significant issues on Qt 6. The Github CI setup has been updated to also run the C++ tests for gui, app, server and 3d, and the majority of these have been fixed so that they pass on the Qt 6 builds too. In addition, some tests which were failing under Qt 6 revealed some real QGIS bugs which have been fixed in the process of this work. (So there’s a direct benefit for the existing Qt 5 builds too!).
Add SQL Logging in the debugging/development panel (#242) – Report
When debugging or developing a QGIS algorithm or a QGIS plugin and when investigating performances of a particular layer it is often useful to view the SQL commands that QGIS sends to the backend. The SQL logging was implemented for Postgres, GeoPackage, Spatialite and Oracle data providers.
QGIS setting registry follow-up (#245) – Report
The work can mainly be seen here PR qgis/QGIS#51295 with the proposed approach to register settings in a hierarchical and organized way, without too much complexity in the API to actually use the settings.
To have a clean approach, some keys have been renamed. There is a compatibility handling (both forward and backward). The GUI implementation will be worked on during the HF in NL this spring.
Fix handling of provider default value clauses/Autogenerate/nextval(…) handling (#247) – Report
The bulk of these changes landed in the QGIS 3.28 release. A quick way to demonstrate on of the issues fixed is: open a Geopackage file, start editing the layer, add some features to it, but don’t save the edits, then right click the edited layer and try to save it to a different file. On older QGIS releases you’ll be spammed with a number of error messages because we tried to write a string value of “Autogenerate” into a number field for all the newly created features. On QGIS 3.28 this all just works as expected, with no errors encountered.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sustaining members and donors who make this initiative possible!

Crowd-Funding Call 2023

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 10:55:00 +0000

QGIS turned 20 last year. Help us get ready for the next 20+ years by becoming a sustaining member!

We want to ensure another 20+ years of sustainable development to keep on bringing the most user-friendly GIS to users worldwide.

This year (2023), we, therefore, plan to focus on addressing long-standing infrastructure debt (particularly docs and web infrastructure). To make this infrastructure more sustainable, we had to make the difficult decision to move funds from our annual grant program to rather support these infrastructure tasks. To enable us to bring the grant program back to full strength and to address upcoming challenges (including but not limited to Qt6 support and next-generation installers), we need additional funds. The best way to achieve this goal is to enlarge our sustaining member base.

Save the date: QGIS user conference and contributor meeting in ‘s-Hertogenbosch

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 10:51:50 +0000

We are happy to announce that our 25th Contributor Meeting will be held in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands from 20 to 23 April 2023.

uc2023.qgis.nl

Leading up to the contributor meeting, we will also have a two-day International QGIS User Conference, on 18 & 19 April.

QGIS Contributors Meetings are volunteer-driven events where contributors to the QGIS project from around the world get together in a common space – usually a university campus. During these events, contributors to the QGIS project take the opportunity to plan their work, hold face-to-face discussions and present new improvements to the QGIS project that they have been working on. Everybody attending the event donates their time to the project for the days of the event. As a project that is built primarily through online collaboration, these meetings provide a crucial ingredient to the future development of the QGIS project. The event is planned largely as an ‘unconference’ with minimal structured programme planning. We do this to allow attendees the freedom to meet dynamically with those they encounter at the event. Those sessions that are planned are advertised on the event web page and we try to enable remote participation through video conferencing software. Although our hosts are not funded and donate the working space to us, we show our appreciation by making one of our software release’s splash screens in honour of that host, which is a great way to gain exposure of your institution and country to the hundreds of thousands of users that make use of QGIS.

QGIS Userbase Analytics

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 14:15:20 +0000

Background

Understanding which regions QGIS is being used in, which versions are in active use, which platforms it is being used on, and how many users we have is hugely beneficial to our ability as a project to serve our users. Back in 2017 at the bi-annual QGIS hackfest in Nødebo, Denmark, we had a long discussion about key project goals and the need to better understand our user base in order to plan the future direction of the project, and allocate funding and resources to where they are needed most

Save the date: QGIS contributor meeting in Firenze

QGIS Grant Programme 2022 Results

Sat, 12 Mar 2022 16:27:56 +0000

We are extremely pleased to announce the four funded proposals for our 2022 QGIS.ORG grant programme. Funding for the programme was sourced by you, our project donors and sponsors! Note: For more context surrounding our grant programme, please see: QGIS Grants #7: Call for Grant Proposals 2022

These are the proposals:

Since the total requested budget is equal to the available budget, there is no need for a voting this year.

Reports from the winning grant proposals 2021

Sat, 05 Feb 2022 11:59:44 +0000

With the QGIS Grant Programme 2021, we were able to support eight proposals that are aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. The following reports summarize the work performed in the proposals.

QGIS Server and services documentation (#213) – Report
The Services chapter of the QGIS Server documentation needed some love to
be effectively representative of the underlying implementation. Numerous
services, requests or parameters were not documented at all. Some others
also had very sketchy descriptions. Thanks to this QEP, the Services
chapter is now in a much better shape!
Rework handling of multi-layer, mixed-format datasets (#216) – Report
While the work was partly motivated as an opportunity to clean up some
older parts of the QGIS codebase which were fragile and had low test
coverage, it has also resulted in many improvements and polish in the
QGIS user interface.
Port DB Manager Table Management Functionalities to Browser: SQL execution (part 3) (#205) – Report
Besides SQL execution functionalities, an additional PR adds to QGIS core the query layer management tool that was provided by DB Manager plugin. The new API is fully covered by unit tests.
Locale support for numeric input and display: revision and enhancements (#210) – Report
The work has been completed with multiple pull requests that fixed all localization issues that have been reported plus countless unreported issues that have been identified along the way.
Integrate GPS Tools plugin functionality into core QGIS (#217) – Report
This grant sees the removal of the old, unmaintained “GPS Tools” core plugin, with all functionality from the plugin moved to reusable Processing algorithms or the unified Data Source Manager dialog. Since the functionality now uses the Processing framework, users gain the ability to run these tools in batch modes, as part of graphical models, and from 3rd party scripts and plugins. As a bonus the new tools are all fully covered by unit tests.
QGIS Server, OGC tests and Continuous Integration: OGC API Features (part 2 (#212) – Report
Thanks to the QEP funding, the OGC API Features standard for QGIS Server is
now checked in QGIS continuous integration since end-November 2021.
Fixing terrain and camera issues in 3D (#215) – Report
These improvements should make the 3D map view easier to use. Especially the camera control issues (unintuitivie camera rotation and wrong center point) were quite tricky to fix.
Review process on plugins.qgis.org and improvements (#219) – This proposal has been withdrawn.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sponsor and donors who make this initiative possible!

QGIS Annual General Meeting – 2021

QGIS Grants #7: Call for Grant Proposals 2022

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 15:00:55 +0000

Dear QGIS Community,

We are very pleased to announce that this year’s round of grants is now available. The call is open to anybody who wants to make a funded contribution to QGIS, subject to the call conditions outlined in the application form.

The deadline for this round is in four weeks, on 13th February 2022.

As of 2022, we are changing the procedure in the following ways:

The project budgets should account for PR reviewing expenses to ensure timely handling of the project-related PRs and avoid delays caused by relying on reviewer volunteer time.
In the week after the QEP discussion period, the proposal authors are expected to write a short summary of the discussion that is suitable for use as a basis on which voting members make their decisions.

Also, note the following guidelines established in previous years:

QGIS not affected by Log4J

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 18:11:25 +0000

The Log4J vulnerability has been dominating recent tech news. Consequently, we’ve received many request asking whether QGIS is affected. Therefore, we’d like to clarify:

QGIS is not a Java application. QGIS is built using C++ and Python. QGIS therefore does not use any Java component, including Log4j(ava).

It is technically possible that a plugin interfaces with Java applications. If you are aware of any potential vulnerabilities, please contact the plugin developers through the contact information provided in the plugin metadata.

QGIS LTR 3.16.13 reverted to 3.16.11

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 09:40:06 +0000

Dear community,

Due to some rather severe issues in the 3.16.13 and .12 Windows MSI installers, we decided to temporarily revert back the available download to the latest release without those issues, 3.16.11. The website rebuild has been performed and you’ll see everywhere that 3.16.11 is the latest LTR. This is true for Windows only as other OS will keep delivering the latest 3.16.13.

Next Friday 19th November is the planned release date for 3.16.14 which should bring fixes to both the above mentioned issues and restore the normal release flow.

QGIS 3.22 Białowieża is released!

QGIS Phasing out 32-bit support on Windows

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 06:05:18 +0000

QGIS will drop 32-bit support on Windows after the QGIS 3.16 release when we update our Qt dependencies to Qt 5.15.

The Plan

QGIS will drop 32-bit Windows support in the next few months. QGIS 3.16 LTR will still be available for 32-bit systems. 32-bit support will be dropped during the process of updating Qt to version 5.15. Due to the complexity of the involved tasks, there is no fixed date for when this update will happen.

Anita Graser receives the 2020 Sol Katz Award

Sun, 20 Sep 2020 16:09:53 +0000

It is with great pleasure that on behalf of the PSC and the whole QGIS community I’d like to extend the most heartfelt congratulations to Anita for receiving the Sol Katz Award.

Anita has been a pillar of the QGIS community since she joined her first hackfest in Vienna in 2009. Since then she has been pushing QGIS’ boundaries and has helped thousands of people to do so through all her publications, ideas and answers on her blog, stackexchange, on the QGIS documentation and in the 7(!) books she co-authored on QGIS. Anita is also the author of the hugely popular TimeManager QGIS plugin that was the precursor of the temporal manager added in QGIS 3.14.

Say hello to the QHackFriday

Fri, 21 Aug 2020 18:14:05 +0000

Dear Community,

2020, as we all know, has been an unusual year. In addition to all the other issues we have all faced, we also had to cancel our beloved hackfests. Since we first started holding bi-annual hackfests in 2009, this will be the first year without an in-person event where our friendly community can meet.

That can’t be! We are a modern and thriving community based on exchange, discussion and collaboration and should foster this even when physical meetings are not possible.

For 3.14 we were looking for creative maps that capture the essence of Pi.

Submissions

The submission phase was open for two weeks and we received numerous inspiring submissions:

QGIS Server and OGC API Features

Wed, 13 May 2020 19:23:46 +0000

Based on text and information from Paul Blottiere and Alessandro Pasotti (both QCooperative)

QGIS Server implements a number of OGC services, such as WMS, WFS, WCS or WMTS and extends these services where useful. Thanks to the efforts of a number of QGIS Server developers and companies, QGIS 3.10 (and 3.4 before) had been certified by the OGC for the WMS 1.3.0 service, and is also a WMS reference implementation.

Greetings from your new QGIS project Chair

Wed, 13 May 2020 05:15:51 +0000

Dear community,

First of all, I would like to thank Paolo for his work during the last two years as Chair and for the years before that, and years to come in his role as PSC member. I’m looking forward to keeping up the good work with him.

Secondly, I would like to thank all the community voting members for all the great inputs during the discussion phase of the AGM and for the fantastic participation in the voting process where we had more than an 80% turnout.

I will continue to serve on the PSC and am pleased also to say that the project governance is in good hands with Jürgen Fischer, Andreas Neumann and Anita Graser kindly making themselves available to serve on the PSC for another two years. It is also great to know that our project founder, Gary Sherman, as well as long-term PSC member Tim Sutton continue to serve on the PSC as honorary PSC members. They both set the standard for our great project culture and it is great to have his continued presence.

QGIS Grants #5: Call for Grant Proposals 2020

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 09:48:55 +0000

Dear QGIS Community,

Our previous rounds of grant proposals have always been a great success (2019, 2018, 2017, 2016). We are very pleased to announce that this year’s round of grants is now available. The call is open to anybody who wants to make a funded contribution to QGIS, subject to the call conditions outlined in the application form.

The deadline for this round is 24th May 2020.

For more details, please read the introduction provided in the application form.

PyQGIS Cookbook revision 2020

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 16:48:40 +0000

We are happy to announce that the PyQGIS Cookbook has received a complete overhaul and is now better than ever.

The PyQGIS Cookbook is a great source of information, not only for PyQGIS beginners or plugin developers, but also for C++ developers: it contains a lot of information about the internals of the QGIS API that you cannot really find anywhere else.

The main point addressed in this review were:

All the code snippets have been reviewed and put under automated test in CI. Before this revision, there were 62 tests. Now there are over 300 tested snippets.
A few snippets had to be updated because of changes in the QGIS API or because of the deprecation of methods (CRS handling in particular due to the proj6 switch).
Textual descriptions have been edited to update the contents where the API has substantially changed.
The material covering Python for QGIS Server has been reorganized and now includes new snippets and introductory texts about the new modules and OGC APIs architecture.

For the full summary, please refer to Alessandro Pasotti’s report on the PSC mailing list.

LTR usage survey

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 08:15:33 +0000

Back in 2018, we asked QGIS users how often they use QGIS and how often they upgrade. Today, we want to find out more about how different user groups and organisations use QGIS and particularly the LTR. You may be aware of ongoing discussions concerning potentially extending the LTR period and other potential steps to further improve user experience.

To better understand the needs of our QGIS community, we therefore invite you to our new LTR usage survey:

QGIS Events Cancellation

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 21:11:15 +0000

Dear QGIS Community:

Due to the uncertainty caused by rapidly unfolding global events related to the COVID-19 virus, we have decided to cancel all in-person QGIS events until further notice. This includes the 25th QGIS Contributor meeting and User Conference that was scheduled to be held this year in Nødebo, Denmark. In the interim, we will pursue ways to meet virtually from time to time, and of course, continue working using our normal collaboration process via email and GitHub.

QGIS 3.12 București is released!

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 10:48:41 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of QGIS 3.12 ‘București’! Bucharest was the location of our developer meeting at FOSS4G 2019.

Installers for all supported operating systems are already out. QGIS 3.12 comes with tons of new features, as you can see in our visual changelog.

Reports from the winning grant proposals 2019

Sun, 23 Feb 2020 09:36:35 +0000

With the QGIS Grant Programme 2019, we were able to support six proposals that were aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. These are the reports on the work that has been done within the individual projects:

Profile and optimise the QGIS vector rendering code (Nyall Dawson)
We conducted in-depth research into code “hot spots” and inefficiencies in the QGIS rendering code using a number of code profiling tools. This work resulted in many optimisations in the vector rendering code and other parts of QGIS (such as certain Processing algorithms). These optimisations were made available in the QGIS 3.10.0 release.
“Rebalance” the labeling engine and fix poor automatic label placement choices (Nyall Dawson)
We first designed unit tests covering a range of different label placement situations and then used these tests as a guide to re-work the label placement engine. Now, labels will never be placed over features from a layer with a higher obstacle weight, avoiding the complexities and bugs which were present in the older approach. To avoid disrupting existing projects, the new labeling logic is only used for newly created projects in QGIS 3.12 and later. (Existing projects can be upgraded via the project’s label settings dialog.)
Reuse core functionality to provide DB manager features (Alessandro Pasotti & Nyall Dawson)
We have developed a new QGIS core API, fully exposed to Python, that makes it possible to manage stored connections to various data provider source in a unified and consistent way. This is part of a larger effort building a new connections API.
Snapping cache improvements (Hugo Mercier)
Snapping is crucial for editing geospatial features. Snapping correctly supposes QGIS have in memory an indexed cache of the geometries to snap to. And maintainting this cache when data is modified, sometimes by another user or database logic, can be a real challenge. This it exactly what this work adresses. This feature has been merged into QGIS 3.12.
Fix problems in larger 3D scenes (Martin Dobias)
We worked on two issues within 3D map views. The first one was that map tiles were only being prepared using a single CPU core – this is now fixed and we may use multiple CPUs to load tiles of 3D scenes faster. The other (and greater) problem was that data from vector layers (when they have 3D renderer assigned) were all being prepared at once for the whole layer in the main thread. That resulted in possibly long freeze of the whole user interface while data were being loaded. This is now resolved as well and data from vector layers are being loaded in smaller tiles in background threads (and using multiple CPU cores). As a result, the overall user experience is now much smoother.
Open documentation issues for pull requests (Matthias Kuhn and Denis Rouzaud)
A documentation bot is now alive and automatically create an issue in the documentation repo for merged PR.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sponsor and donors who make this initiative possible!

Public Service Announcement: Update to the latest point release now

Fri, 24 Jan 2020 08:50:29 +0000

QGIS users who have adopted the 3.10 version when initially released at the end of October 2019 have likely noticed a sharp drop in reliability. The underlying issues have now been addressed in 3.10.2, all users are advised to update *now*.

When QGIS 3.10 was first released in the end of October 2019, a pair of libraries – namely GDAL and PROJ – were updated to their next-generation versions. The advantages are plenty: GeoPDF export[1] support, more accurate coordinate transformation, etc. For those interested, more technical information on this is available here[2].

Reports from the winning grant proposals 2018

Mon, 06 Jan 2020 13:44:25 +0000

With the QGIS Grant Programme 2018, we were able to support seven proposals that were aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. These are the reports on the work that has been done within the individual projects:

Increased stability for Processing GUI and External Providers (Nyall Dawson)
Many bugs in 3rd party providers have been fixed and lots of new unit tests added. The GUI includes new C++ classes and a new framework that landed in QGIS 3.4. For more details see Nyall’s report on the mailing list.
OSGeo4W updates (Jürgen Fischer)
The updates performed in this project were essential to bring QGIS 3.x to Windows.
Resurrect Processing “R” Provider (Nyall Dawson)
The R provider has been implemented as a provider plugin. The plugin’s beta phase was first announced in Nov 2018 and the plugin is now available for general use.
OpenCL support for processing core algs (Alessandro Pasotti)
The following processing algorithms have been ported: slope, aspect, hillshade, and ruggedness. Even if was not in scope for this QEP, the hillshade renderer has also been optimized. For more details see qgis/QGIS#7451.
QGIS server OGC compliant and certified for WFS (Régis Haubourg)
This project fixed numerous issues to get closer to the goal of getting QGIS Server WFS certified. However, the project ran out of resources before the goal could be achieved. For details see the current WFS tests status page.
Charts and drawings on attribute forms (Matthias Kuhn)
For details read “The new QML widgets in QGIS” and see qgis/QGIS#7801.
Update of QGIS Training Manual (Matteo Ghetta)
This project hasn’t been completed yet.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sponsor and donors who make this initiative possible!

QGIS Server is ready for the new OGC API for Features protocol.

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 22:21:55 +0000

The new OGC API for Features (OAPIF) (also formerly known as WFS3) is one of the first protocols of the new generation of OGC web services and we are happy to announce that QGIS Server is ready to serve data following the specifications of this new protocol.

A lot of work has been going on during last summer to make sure QGIS Server was ready to support the new family of REST APIs, the underlying architecture allows in fact to expand QGIS Server API capabilities with any kind of new API that will be available in the future.

QGIS 3.10 A Coruña is released!

Sat, 02 Nov 2019 12:28:32 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of QGIS 3.10 ‘A Coruña’! A Coruña was the location of our developer meeting and user conference in March 2019.

Installers for all supported operating systems are already out. QGIS 3.10 comes with tons of new features, as you can see in our visual changelog.

Results of the user questionnaire from Sep’19

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 18:57:36 +0000

Last month’s user question focused on QGIS documentation. More specifically, we asked how you learn how to use QGIS. And many of you answered our call. Indeed we collected 824 responses over a period of two weeks:

The answers to the first question show that the top three first sources of information on how to use QGIS features or solve problems are: 1. search engines, 2. Stack Exchange, and 3. the QGIS User Manual:

User question of the Month – Sep’19

Sat, 28 Sep 2019 10:43:55 +0000

After the summer break, we’re back with a new user question.

This month, we want to focus on documentation. Specifically, we’d like to know how you learn how to use QGIS.

The survey is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Ukrainian, and Indonesian. If you want to help us translate user questions into more languages, please get in touch on the community mailing list!

Introducing new QGIS macOS packages

Mon, 29 Jul 2019 19:39:44 +0000

We now have signed packages for macOS. You can find these packages published on the official QGIS download page at http://download.qgis.org.

Rationale

In addition to being a very powerful and user-friendly open source GIS application, QGIS can be installed on different operating systems: MS Windows, macOS, various flavours of Linux and FreeBSD.

Volunteers help with generating the installers for those platforms. The work is highly valuable and the scale of effort put into packaging over the years is often underappreciated. QGIS has also grown significantly over the years and so has its complexity to package relevant libraries and 3rd party tools to the end-users.

QGIS 3.8 Zanzibar is released!

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 12:10:02 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of QGIS 3.8 ‘Zanzibar’! Zanzibar was the location of our developer meeting before the international FOSS4G 2018 conference in Dar Es Salaam.

Installers for all supported operating systems are already out. QGIS 3.8 comes with tons of new features, as you can see in our visual changelog.

QGIS Grant Programme 2019 Results

QGIS Server 3.4.6 certified for WMS 1.3

Mon, 08 Apr 2019 15:09:18 +0000

We are very happy to announce that QGIS 3.4.6 LTR is now OGC certified as a reference implementation :

The OGC certification program gives a third party validation that the a web service is compliant with the standard.

The certification process requires manual work, so we will only certify on version for each LTR. This was not enough, so we build a OGC CI test platform that is checking compliance every night for WMS and WFS, so that you can check by yourself any specific version commit.

Crowdfunding initiatives in spring 2019

Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:57:01 +0000

Results of the MacOS bug fixing initiative

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 20:24:44 +0000

Thanks to your donations, we were able to hire core developers to focus on solving Mac OS specific issues for QGIS. More than 30 MacOS QGIS users donated a little more than 3000 € for this bug fixing round.

After an effort of triage and testing, here is what has been achieved:

The map canvas is now in HiDPI (https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17773).
The issue was that Mac OS handles differently high DPI scaling by providing a scaling ration to scale graphics output. For more information, read http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/scalability.html#high-dpi-scaling-on-macos-and-ios and for even more info http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpainter.html#drawing-high-resolution-versions-of-pixmaps-and-images. You may not have noticed, but the scale shown under the canvas was wrong in former QGIS 3.x versions. It has been fixed too.
Zooming with trackpad is now fluent (https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18418) The track pad is apparently sending more events than the scrolling and are now discarded to avoid scale jumps.
Size of mouse cursors with map tools has been fixed (https://issues.qgis.org/issues/19092). The scaling previously introduced could be removed thanks to the HiDPI fixes, and this has fixed by the same occasion the active point of the cursor being misplaced.
The size of the map canvas at startup was not an issue in QGIS in itself and has been fixed by upgrading to a newer Qt version (https://issues.qgis.org/issues/19524)
Rendering slowness issue *should* also have been fixed by an upgrade of Qt version (https://issues.qgis.org/issues/19546)
At the moment, the “default” theme of QGIS (as opposed to the “Night Mapping” theme), has a few glitches when used in Mojave with “Dark” theme activated. Mainly text in widgets cannot be read since they are white on white. This is a Qt issue (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68891) and the upcoming Qt 5.12 released by the end of november should fix it. In the mean time, the QGIS “Night Mapping” theme is automatically applied when running on Mojave with Dark theme. While the theme is probably not perfect, it allows to work properly and the situation will be evaluated again when Qt 5.12 is released.

Unfortunately, some issues remain. Mainly, the text being rendered as outlines in PDF export (https://issues.qgis.org/issues/3975) remains for now. It might be fixed in a following effort.

User question of the Month – Nov’18

Sun, 11 Nov 2018 19:11:35 +0000

QGIS 2.18 is the third LTR since we started this effort back in 2015 and next year will see the first LTR of QGIS 3. On this occasion, we want to learn more about our users and which versions of QGIS they use. Therefore, we invite you to our QGIS user question of the month.

Report back on the 20th QGIS Hackfest in Zanzibar

Mon, 05 Nov 2018 20:35:59 +0000

QGIS 3.4 Madeira is released!

Sun, 28 Oct 2018 12:11:17 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of QGIS 3.4 ‘Madeira’! Madeira was the location of our developer meeting in February 2018.

Windows installers and Ubuntu/debian binaries are already out, and all the packagers are actively preparing packages for the other operating systems. We’ll keep you updated when different packages and installers become available.

MacOS specific bug fixing campaign

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 08:51:38 +0000

If you are a MacOS QGIS user, you are probably bothered by some MacOS specific bugs. These are due to the fact that we have fewer QGIS developers working on the MacOS platform and there are additional MacOS specific issues in the underlying qt5 library.

Nevertheless, we found a developer, Denis Rouzaud, who wants to specifically look into investigating and hopefully solving several of these issues. If you are a MacOS user and care about a better QGIS experience on this platform, we invite you to financially support this effort. As a private person, and for smaller amounts, please use the usual donation channel – if you are a company or organization and want to contribute to this specific effort, please consider becoming a sponsor. In any case – please add “MacOS bug fixing campaign” as a remark when donating/sponsoring or inform finance@qgis.org about your earmarked donation.

QGIS Server certified as official OGC reference implementation

Wed, 27 Jun 2018 17:34:46 +0000

We are very excited to announce that QGIS Server has been successfully certified as a compliant WMS 1.3 server against the OGC certification platform, and moreover, it is even considered as a reference implementation now!

This is the first step on our roadmap of having a fast, compliant and bullet proof web map server that is straightforward to publish from a classical QGIS project.

QGIS 3.2 Bonn is released!

Sun, 24 Jun 2018 19:57:25 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of QGIS 3.2 ‘Bonn’. The city of Bonn was the location of our 16th developer meeting.

QGIS User Conference 2018

Sun, 03 Jun 2018 19:18:54 +0000

This year’s QGIS User Conference will be embedded within the FOSS4G conference. That means that you should refer to the FOSS4G web site for all registration and event details with the exception of the QGIS Hackfest (22-26 August) which follows our normal organisation procedure on the QGIS Wiki.

There are five main activities for QGIS Users to enjoy at the conference:

The QGIS Hackfest: This is our twice-yearly meet up to work on and improve the QGIS code base. Come along to this event if you want contribute documentation, bug fixes, bug reports, features and other ideas for improvements to the QGIS project. The hackfest is a side event to be held on the island of Zanzibar and will happen before the main conference. Again refer to the QGIS Hackfest wiki page for details and to register.
The Workshops: FOSS4G is always popular for the wide range of workshops presented. The workshop presentations are very often by the developers of the software being explained, which gives you a unique opportunity to talk face to face with the people using the software you are using. There will be a number of QGIS specific workshops at FOSS4G – you will be able to identify them easily on the mobile app that provides the conference programme by filtering on ‘QGIS’ in the workshops section. For a current list of all the workshops at the event please refer to: https://2018.foss4g.org/workshop-schedule/
The Presentations: There will be a wide range of QGIS related presentations during the main conference. 17 QGIS related presentations have been registered. See https://2018.foss4g.org/programme/list-of-presentations/ for a full list of the conference presentations.
The Academic Track: This year a large number of academic papers have been submitted, a good number of which relate to QGIS. Watch the conference web site for more details to be published soon!
The QGIS Plenary / Panel Discussion: During the conference we will have an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session with QGIS developers and community members forming a panel to field any questions you might want to ask! This is a unique opportunity to find out more about the project, its roadmap or just come along to say ‘thank you’ to the dedicated team of community members who put so much work into making QGIS!

If you have not already registered for FOSS4G2018, do so now to enjoy early bird rates! Visit the Registration Page for more details! We are looking forward to meeting you in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar!

New PyQGIS documentation

Sun, 20 May 2018 17:42:55 +0000

We are proud to announce our new dedicated documentation of the QGIS Python API (also called PyQGIS) which is now available at https://qgis.org/pyqgis:

While the QGIS API has long been documented, Python developers in the past had to work with the general C++ documentation that wasn’t always straightforward to use. The new PyQGIS documentation presents the API in an accessible pythonic manner.

Reports from the winning grant proposals 2017

Tue, 08 May 2018 19:45:24 +0000

While we are waiting for this year’s grant proposals to come in, it is time to look back at last year’s winning proposals and their results. These are the reports on the work that has been done within the individual projects:

QGIS 3D – Martin Dobias

Preparing for the next LTR

Tue, 01 May 2018 06:49:48 +0000

Dear QGIS users,

As you know, QGIS 3 has recently been published. This version introduced big changes in the code structure that, in addition to the new functionalities already exposed, makes our code base more modern and easier to expand and improve on in the future.

As a normal by-product of such a huge overhaul, these changes also triggered a series of new issues, that you, our users are helping to discover and document. Our objective is to eliminate the most important of these issues in time for what will be our next Long Term Release (LTR) – version 3.4. This release is scheduled for October 2018. The resources available from QGIS.ORG funds are limited, and we have already invested in QGIS 3.0 far more than we have done for any previous version.

QGIS Grants #3: Call for Grant Proposals 2018

Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:16:48 +0000

Dear QGIS Community

Our first two rounds of Grant Proposals were a great success. If you are an early adopter using QGIS 3.0, you can already try out some of the new capabilities that have arrived in QGIS thanks to these grants.

We are very pleased to announce the third round of grants is now available to QGIS contributors. The deadline for this round is Sunday, 13 May 2018. All the details for the grants are described in the application form, and for more context we encourage you to also read these articles:

QGIS Annual General Meeting – 2018

Fri, 13 Apr 2018 13:26:51 +0000

Dear QGIS Community

We recently held our 2018 QGIS Annual General Meeting. The minutes of this meeting are available for all to view. As I have previously announced, I have decided to step down as chair of the PSC this year, so this post is my last official act as QGIS Chair. Thank you all for the kind words and deeds of support you gave me during my time as project chair.

QGIS 3.0 Girona is released!

Fri, 23 Feb 2018 18:28:26 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of QGIS 3.0 ‘Girona’. The city of Girona was the location of our 15th developer meeting.

This is the first release in the 3.x series. It comes with tons of new features (see our visual changelog) and under-the-hood updates. As such, we do not expect it to be as reliable as the 2.18 LTR just yet.

Documentation for QGIS 3.0 – call for contributions!

Mon, 04 Dec 2017 17:48:30 +0000

Dear QGIS users, enthusiasts and fine people out there. QGIS 3.0 is coming very soon….we are in a ‘soft freeze’ state at the moment while we wait for some critical last pieces of code to get finalised. Then we go into hard freeze and prepare to roll out our next major release. Those of you that have been playing with the ‘2.99’ builds will surely have noticed that QGIS 3.0 is going to feature a huge number of improvements and new features – both in the user interface and in the API and code internals.

QGIS Server refactoring is done!

Sun, 29 Oct 2017 22:31:10 +0000

As you may know, QGIS is jumping to a new major version. (Yes!) Doing so was made necessary because of the need to switch to Python 3, Qt5, but also because we needed to break the QGIS API in several places.

A year ago there was an appeal on the QGIS developer mailing list about the strong need for love that the QGIS server code base required. Indeed, the API was locked by some old methods of QGIS server. In short, QGIS server was reparsing the .qgs project file in its own way, and created dependencies to parts of QGIS we needed to drop.

Do you want to host a QGIS developer meeting?

Sat, 02 Sep 2017 21:49:45 +0000

Each year the QGIS.ORG community holds two developer meetings. These events are an important part of our project – they provide an invaluable opportunity for us all to meet face to face and share ideas, discuss issues and plan the future of QGIS.

The host of the developer meeting gets a special bonus for hosting the meeting: One of our releases will be named after the town / village / city etc. where the event was held – like this:

Plotting the future of QGIS

Fri, 25 Aug 2017 11:42:14 +0000

During the developer hackfest at our recent QGIS Conference in Nødebo, the developers present had a discussion session about the future (post 3.0) road map for QGIS. Note that the ideas laid out here do no necessarily represent a consensus between all the QGIS developers and community members since those present at the hackfest were only a subset of the great QGIS community. However the discussion probably provides a good idea of the kind of things on our minds as we move forward to QGIS 3.0 and beyond. Just a note before you get too excited reading the article below: This was a future looking session of great ideas that will take QGIS forward, but there may not be anybody actively working on these ideas (if you are looking for something to fund it would be a great start!). Here are twelve ideas that were raised (in no particular order)…

Report back on the 3rd QGIS Conference in Nødebo, Denmark

Tue, 15 Aug 2017 23:38:37 +0000

We just wrapped up the 3rd QGIS User Conference at the University of Copenhagen’s “Skovskolen” Forestry and Landscape College, just outside of Copenhagen. The conference programme was split into three parts:

A general user conference of three days
The a QGIS hackfest – where many developers brought their families along
A week of workshops where attendees can learn in-depth topics such as expressions or the new QGIS Web Client version 2

We are extremely grateful to the event sponsors (you can find links to our sponsors at the bottom of this page):

3rd QGIS User Conference

Tue, 13 Jun 2017 20:16:06 +0000

This year, we are looking forward to the 3rd installment of our annual QGIS conference and it will be the biggest one yet!

The QGIS community, developers and users are meeting from August 2–11, 2017 in Nødebo at University of Copenhagen’s Forest and Landscape College.

1st user conference in Nødebo 2015

2017 QGIS Governance Update

Mon, 22 May 2017 16:37:39 +0000

QGIS Developers and Community Members working on QGIS at our recent meet up in Essen, German,

Dear Voting members (and interested QGIS community members out there)

This is an open letter that was emailed to all QGIS voting members today

Call for presentations and workshop proposals: QGIS Conference 2017

Mon, 01 May 2017 11:26:43 +0000

NOTE: Deadline for proposals is May 15 2017

We are going back to Nødebo! Each year we combine one of our QGIS Developer Meetings with a User Conference. The User Conference is a great opportunity for QGIS users to meet developers and share their experiences – both with developers and with other users. Our first ever User Conference was held in Nødebo, Denmark in 2015 and we are thrilled to be going back to the beautiful venue at the University of Denmark’s Forest and Landscape College.

QGIS Grant Programme #2 Results

Sun, 30 Apr 2017 13:10:28 +0000

We are extremely pleased to announce the winning proposals for our 2017 QGIS.ORG grant programme. Funding for the programme was sourced by you, our project donors and sponsors! Note: For more context surrounding our grant programme, please see:

Our intent with the QGIS.ORG Grant Programme is to support work from community that would typically not be funded by client/contractor agreements, and that contributes to the broadest possible swathe of our community by providing cross-cutting, foundational improvements to the QGIS Project.

Logo Evolution – Call to User Groups

Sat, 29 Apr 2017 11:44:32 +0000

With QGIS 3.0 moving closer, it is also time to get the new QGIS logo out there.

QGIS logo evolution

We are therefore asking all our user groups to join the project redesign efforts. Please have a look at your user group logo and bring it in line with the QGIS 3.0 design.

Update on the QGIS Grant Applications

Tue, 04 Apr 2017 09:32:34 +0000

In February this year, we put out a call for applications for the second (yay!) round of the QGIS grant programme. The intent of the programme is to leverage donor and sponsor funding in order to support community members with great ideas to improve the underlying infrastructure of the QGIS project and code base.

We have had a really great response to the call for applications (detailed list of applications is here for your reading pleasure – 231KB download).

A report on QGIS Income 2016

Sat, 25 Feb 2017 07:33:34 +0000

Greetings wonderful QGIS Users, Developers and Supporters! 2016 was quite an exciting year for QGIS – we released QGIS 2.14LTR which has been a great stable release. We also set the wheels in motion for QGIS 3.0 which we plan to release later this year. QGIS development takes a lot of time and effort – and much of the work is done by volunteers – especially the core project maintenance work which typically does not attract paid-for consulting work like new feature work does.

QGIS Grants #2: Call for Grant Proposals 2017

Sun, 19 Feb 2017 19:03:50 +0000

Dear QGIS Community

Last year we held our first ever call for Grant Proposals and it was a great success. If you are an early adopter using QGIS 3.0 preview builds, you can already try out some of the new capabilities that have arrived in QGIS thanks to these grants.

We are very pleased to announce the second round of Grants is now available to QGIS Contributors. The deadline for this round is Sunday, 19 March 2017. All the details for the Grant are described in the application form, and for more context we encourage you to also read these articles:

Minutes of the Inaugural QGIS General Meeting (2016)

Sun, 05 Feb 2017 22:03:57 +0000

Dear QGIS community members

At the end of December 2016, we held our inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM). It should be noted that QGIS AGM’s will be ‘virtual’ meetings conducted as a questionnaire (for voting / raising motions) and then a report such as the one below, with optional follow up email discussion if deemed necessary. The reason for this is that our community is spread far and wide and any attempt at an in-person (physical or virtual) meeting will prove very difficult given the number of different time zones the participants live in. Thus this, and future, AGM reports will be a reflection / summary of the various online activities that constitute the ‘AGM’ and the reports should be read with this understanding in mind. It should also be kept in mind that because we are bootstrapping the QGIS Board, the 2016/ 2017 meetings follow a reduced agenda – the 2018 meeting will commence with the full AGM agenda since we will have a year of financial reporting / board activity etc. behind us. Here follow the minutes:

2017 Hackfests and Summer Camp

Tue, 10 Jan 2017 08:48:22 +0000

Where is QGIS being developed?

That is a questions my students often ask. Open Source is a strange and new ‘world’ for most of them. So I try to explain: QGIS is a software, developed and maintained from all over the world by developers who are employed by companies, self-employed or working for free…

Some of the work is paid for by QGIS and some by users and as written – some do it for free – yay! The core developers meet two times a year for ‘Hackfests’ (do not confuse with ‘Hacking’).

QGIS 3.0 logo voting results

Sun, 08 Jan 2017 09:48:48 +0000

It is our pleasure to announce that the QGIS.org voting members have unanimously agreed to the adoption of the proposed new logo.

We are currently planning the roll out of the new logo to all our applications, web platforms, and social media accounts. In addition, we will create marketing material with the new QGIS branding. Since this is a volunteer effort, we are planning to approach this step-by-step. The goal is to have everything ready by the time of the QGIS 3.0 release.

Happy new year 2017!

Wed, 04 Jan 2017 22:34:24 +0000

2016 was an exciting year for us. It was a year with three great releases (2.14 LTR, 2.16 & 2.18), lots of developer and community events (including our 2nd user conference in Girona, the developer meeting in Bonn before FOSS4G & a QGIS Server sprint in Lyon) and many firsts, including the first round of QGIS grants and our new QGIS.org organizational structure.

Group picture from Girona

New QGIS 3.0 logo candidate

Tue, 13 Dec 2016 17:41:17 +0000

If you have been following this blog and the QGIS community discussions, you will know that 2017 is going to be a big year in the history of QGIS since we are planning the release of QGIS 3.0. One of the requests we had during our Girona Hackfest held earlier this year was to come up with a fresher logo for QGIS. Some of you may remember that we had an abortive attempt at coming up with a new logo a couple of years ago. We found that process quite difficult to manage since we tried to do it in a completely open way and there were so many differing opinions, varying tastes and so on that the whole process reached an impasse and we decided to shelve the idea for time being. With that history in mind we decided to approach the logo updating process for QGIS 3.0 differently this time around and use a professional designer to come up with a design and then provide the QGIS Voting Members with a simple, binary YES/NO choice as to whether they accept the new logo or not.

Let’s make a big funding push for QGIS 3.0!

Sat, 19 Nov 2016 08:09:01 +0000

In 2017 we are planning to release QGIS 3.0. This new major version will become the basis of the next LTR release (QGIS 3.2) and is set to be a sea-change in the development of QGIS. It will modernize the architecture to get rid of many legacy issues that we were unable to resolve in the minor release series of 2.x releases. For example we are switching to Qt5, Python3 stripping out deprecated API’s, cleaning away many old code artifacts, and making a huge range of under the hood tweaks to improve the performance and stability of QGIS. Here are some of the other key issues that need to be worked on before we can release QGIS 3.0:

QGIS 2.18 ‘Las Palmas’ is released!

Tue, 08 Nov 2016 20:07:46 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of QGIS 2.18 ‘Las Palmas’. The city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was the location of our autumn 2015 developer meeting.

This is the last release in the 2.x series. The current Long Term Release (LTR) remains version 2.14.x. This release provides incremental improvements over our previous release. The majority of activity is currently focused towards the development of QGIS 3.0 which is our next generation release planned for the end of the first quarter of 2017.

Winning QGIS Grant Proposals for 2016

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 21:35:50 +0000

We are extremely pleased to announce the winning proposals for our 2016 QGIS.ORG grant programme. Funding for the programme was sourced by you, our project donors and sponsors! Note: For more context surrounding our grant programme, please see:

Update on the QGIS Grant Programme

Sun, 25 Sep 2016 21:32:54 +0000

At the beginning of August this year, we put out a call for applications in our newly launched grant programme. The intent of the programme is to leverage donor and sponsor funding in order to support community members with great ideas to improve the underlying infrastructure of the QGIS project and code base.

We have had a really great response to the call for applications (detailed list of applications is here for your reading pleasure – 233KB download). There has also been some good discussion on the QGIS Developer mailing list about the evaluation process.

What are trusted plugins?

Fri, 26 Aug 2016 10:16:21 +0000

The core team of QGIS strives hard to provide the most advanced and user friendly GIS for free use by everyone. In the core QGIS project, every line of code that gets committed is subject to peer review when contributed by a non core developer. This gives us an opportunity to identify and correct inadvertent (or intentional) security issues that a developer may introduce into the code base. By contrast, all of the plugins that are published via the QGIS plugin repository are reviewed by the plugin developers themselves and we don’t have good insight into how much due diligence is applied to plugin code management.

Results of the QGIS user survey 2015

Tue, 23 Aug 2016 15:36:04 +0000

In autumn last year, we ran a rather large-scale user survey, which was translated into many languages and advertised here on this blog. The final reports can be found here:

English (1476 responses)
Spanish (122 responses)
French (457 responses)
Portuguese (146 responses)
Romanian (30 responses)

(Let me know if you have links to other language versions which were not sent to the mailing list.)

Looking at the English report, most responses were filed by regular (49.7%) and advanced users (35.9%) who use QGIS at least several times per week. One interesting result is that responders feel that the project should still prioritise new features when spending funds:

QGIS Grants: Call for applications

Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:55:41 +0000

We are pleased to announce the first round of funding for the QGIS grant programme.

What is the grant programme?

The QGIS.ORG grant programme is our way to accelerate and streamline development of the QGIS.ORG project by rewarding committed developers and contributors for their work through a grant system. It is a way to distribute our funds amongst our team members in a fair and transparent way.

Why have a grant programme?

There are four main reasons for embarking on a grant programme.

QGIS 2.16 ‘Nødebo’ is released!

Fri, 22 Jul 2016 14:41:23 +0000

We’re happy to announce the release of QGIS 2.16.0 ‘Nødebo’. The University of Copenhagen’s Department of Geoscience and Natural Resource Management Forest and Landscape College in Nødebo were hosts to the First International QGIS conference and developer meeting in May 2015. For all of us who are not fluent in Danish, Lene Fischer has prepared the following video teaching us how to pronounce the release name:

Report back: 15th QGIS hackfest in Girona, Spain

Thu, 30 Jun 2016 05:49:19 +0000

Time flies when you are having fun! It seems like only yesterday that I was writing about the 14th Hackfest in Gran Canaria. At the end of May 2016, we held the 15th QGIS hackfest! QGIS has been on an incredible journey since the project was started by Gary Sherman 14 years ago, and the fact that the hackfest was held in tandem with the 2nd QGIS International User conference is a testament to the growth and strength of the project.

Licensing requirements for QGIS plugins

Sun, 29 May 2016 08:09:27 +0000

One thing we have been encountering lately in the QGIS project is plugin authors not understanding the licensing requirements for publishing their QGIS plugins. In this article I will try to clarify this a little:

QGIS is Open Source Software and provides a great platform for third parties to distribute additional functionality to users through our plugin system. QGIS is licensed under the GPL version 2 or greater. This license is provided with every copy of the QGIS and in the source code and is available on our web site here:

Call for nominations for voting members of the QGIS.org board.

Wed, 04 May 2016 22:29:59 +0000

Dear QGIS Community members

As many of you will be aware, in this last year we have been embarking on the process to transition from a loose-knit community organisation to a more formal organisation. This new organisation ‘QGIS.org’ will be a legal entity and will afford us a greater amount of flexibility in how we manage funds, legal agreements and so forth. You can read the statutes for the QGIS.org organisation for more info.

Under the statutes of the new organisation, there will be one user group voting member put forward for each registered user group (user group registration page is here). For each user group voting member we will have a community voting member elected. In addition there will be one voting member from the OSGEO leadership. It is probably best explained by way of a simple (contrived) example:

1) The Martian user group puts forward Joe Alien to be their QGIS User Group Voting Member.

2) QGIS committers put forward nominations for a matching Community Voting Member from within the community. Community member with the highest number of nominations is elected. Only people with git commit rights to an official QGIS repository or write access to the QGIS translation platform on transifex can put forward nominations. The nominated person can be any person from within the QGIS community who is willing to serve as a voting QGIS community member.

3) The Moon user group puts forward Janet Luna to be their QGIS User Group Voting Member.

4) QGIS committers again nominate a matching Community Voting Member

5) OSGEO puts forward one person to act as the OSGEO voting member.

Voting members will elect the QGIS Board, Board Chairman and approve budgets and the annual report. Once elected, the board will make day to day decisions on behalf of the project as needed. The OSGEO voting member will also serve to ensure that there are always an odd number of voting members to avoid deadlocks. Voting members will have their continued membership confirmed on a 3 yearly basis.

Since we are bootstrapping the QGIS.org organisation, we have not yet elected any voting members. Currently there are 10 QGIS User Groups registered (this number may be different when you read this due to new registrations), thus we would like to invite all people who have Git commit access to any official QGIS repo, or transifex write access to make their nominations for their community voting members. The 10 consenting nominees with the highest number of nominations will be appointed as community voting members.

We will close the nomination period on Wed 11 May if at least 10 unique persons have been nominated, otherwise as soon as 10 unique persons have been nominated.

We will maintain a list of the QGIS Voting Members on the web site for public viewing.

After all of the voting members have been elected they will be asked to elect the members of the board. Board members need not be voting members, any QGIS community member can be elected to the board. For formation of the new board, existing PSC members will automatically be nominated and the community voting members can also put up additional nominations. We would then put the election of the board members to a vote (maintaining the same number of members as are currently in the PSC for now). Once the board has officially been elected, the voting members can then select a chair for the board. Note that all voting will be done electronically via an online form.

By this process we will have a democratically elected board entrusted with stewardship of the new QGIS.org Organisation.

Each year we will hold an annual general meeting and voting members can elect a new chair, or re-elect the existing chair. Similarly on a rotational basis, board members will be up for re-election each year. If things are a little unclear above, I have made a simple diagram which hopefully clarifies things (see below).

Note that Gary Sherman (QGIS project founder) is board member emeritus and this will not be up for re-election as he has life long tenure on the board.

So if you are eligible to nominate voting members (i.e. you are a committer on any official QGIS repo or a Transifex author), please head over to the form provided to make your nomination!

Promoting and using QGIS for the enterprise

Sat, 23 Apr 2016 10:24:12 +0000

Over the years, QGIS has gained more functionality, more users and more people and organisations who make their livelihood from it. As an Open Source project, there are two things that we value most highly (and equally):

Our community of users
Our community of project contributors

The two groups are intermingled, co-dependent and indispensable to the project. As both these groups have grown, our reach has grown. Now as a project we touch the lives of (by best estimation) hundreds of thousands of users and contributors around the world.

QGIS 2.14 ‘Essen’ is released!

Tue, 01 Mar 2016 21:57:43 +0000

QGIS is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows.

We are very pleased to announce the release of QGIS 2.14 ‘Essen’. Essen was the host city to our developer meet ups in October 2012 and 2014.

Long Term Release

This is a special release since it is designated an ‘LTR’ (Long Term Release). LTR releases will be supported with backported bug fixes for one year, and will be in permanent feature freeze (i.e. no new features will be added, only bug fixes and trivial updates). Note that we are in discussion to extend the term of our LTR releases to two years, but for technical reasons we will not do this until QGIS 3.2.

QGIS User & Developer conference – Extension of presentation and workshop submissions deadline

QGIS 3.0 plans

Wed, 10 Feb 2016 07:38:13 +0000

Ok so quick spoiler here: there is no QGIS 3.0 ready yet, nor will there be a QGIS 3.0 for some time. This article provides a bit more detail on the plans for QGIS 3.0. A few weeks ago I wrote about some of the considerations for the 3.0 release, so you may want to read that first before continuing with this article as I do not cover the same ground here.

Announcing the QGIS hackfests 2016

Mon, 25 Jan 2016 20:17:07 +0000

Tue, 19 Jan 2016 12:06:24 +0000

The latest bug fix releases 2.8.6 and 2.12.3 have been released according to our release road map.

For a list of fixed issues see the commits to 2.8 and commits to 2.12, respectively.

Help us to plan for QGIS 3.0

Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:47:22 +0000

Many of you out there may be wondering ‘when are we going to release QGIS 3.0?’. Last year (2015) we started investigating when and how we would release QGIS 3.0. We promised (see Anita Graser’s post about this) that we would convey clearly to our users and developers our plans well before making the QGIS 3.0 release. In this post I will try to lay out some of the considerations for a QGIS 3.0 release and at the end of this post there is an opportunity for you to present your ideas.

Crowd funding project for reading CAD documents in QGIS

Tue, 08 Dec 2015 13:51:32 +0000

Local governments on the municipality or provincial level often have to deal with DXF/DWG/DGN documents delivered from architects, urban planners or engineering companies. As an example, cadastral or utility offices or companies often have to import CAD documents to either check deliveries about correctness or import selected objects into their central database. Another requirement is being able to visualize planned objects, such as buildings or bridges alongside with the cadastral data.

A word of thanks to the hosts of the 14th QGIS Hackfest in Gran Canaria

Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:27:59 +0000

Last weekend (November 5th – November 8th, 2015) was a special occasion for the QGIS Project – we convened the 14th our ‘hackfest’ meeting!

QGIS hackfests are events where an organiser provides a space for collaboration and members of the community converge and self-organise to improve the QGIS project. We are very much dependent on the good will of our hosts – typically universities – for providing these spaces and the logistics needed to manage the provision of accommodation, food, internet and other needs of our participants over the duration of the hackfest. For this event our gracious hosts were Universitas de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Our presence at the University was endorsed and facilitated by:

Your donations/sponsorships help to maintain and improve the quality of QGIS

Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:51:40 +0000

The QGIS project is growing in size, number of contributors/contributions and code complexity. This introduces challenges for the project, especially for maintaining quality. Maintaining and improving quality is one of the main concerns of the QGIS.ORG board and some core developers.

Past and current QA efforts

Tim Sutton introduced a first unit test framework several years ago. But it wasn’t very visible then and passing the tests as a prerequisite to make changes to master wasn’t enforced. About a year ago, Matthias Kuhn introduced automated unit testing for the Linux builds – using Travis continuous integration testing. At our github page you can always see whether the master version builds fine and whether the tests are passing – see the green “Build passing” button at the beginning of the Readme.md file.

Introducing the QGIS Board

Tue, 03 Nov 2015 08:59:53 +0000

Transition
The QGIS PSC (Project Steering Committee) is in transition to becoming a Board. We are registering the project as a Swiss ‘Verein‘ (Association) which will be known as QGIS.ORG and will function as a not-for-profit company, serving the interests of the QGIS project. The motivation for the transition to a legal entity is described in QGIS QEP (QGIS Enhancement Proposal) #16. The board will be constituted of the same members of the PSC but will gain the executive responsibilities required of our Verein statutes.

QGIS Crowdfunding project: 2.5D Rendering of buildings/polygons

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 19:46:29 +0000

QGIS already supports various different renderers, such as
categorized, rule-based, point-displacement, heatmap, etc. This allows for advanced cartographic representations. In addition, there are plugins available, such as “qgis2threejs” or “QGIS Globe”, which allow to view and export QGIS data in the third dimension. While these plugins are very useful, they also have limitations: they are not fully integrated with the QGIS styling mechanisms and can’t be integrated in the QGIS print composer for high-quality printing.

Call for applications: QGIS Manual Update and Improvement

Tue, 06 Oct 2015 09:21:12 +0000

Dear QGIS community,

In the last few years we have been steadily improving the amount of funding we are able to accumulate in the QGIS project. Our goal in obtaining funding is always to ‘make QGIS better’. Up until now we have focussed funding on high profile aspects of the project: Funding regular hackfests, paying for bug fixing work prior to releases, funding infrastructure such as servers, domain name registrations etc.

Feature freeze is now in effect for QGIS 2.12

Sat, 26 Sep 2015 13:04:45 +0000

A note from Jürgen Fischer, our release manager, heralds the start of preparations for QGIS 2.12. We depend all users out there to test it and report issues so we can make the best possible release. An edit version of the email to the developer mailing list from Jürgen follows:

Hi,

I’d like to remind everyone that the 2.11 development cycle ended yesterday at
12:00 UTC. We are now in feature freeze on the road to the 2.12 release on 2015-10-23

Registration open for QGIS hackfest in Gran Canaria, November 2015

Sun, 30 Aug 2015 17:39:24 +0000

Dear QGIS developers

We will be holding our 14th hackfest in Gran Canaria over November 5th – November 8th, 2015. You can read more about the plans for this meet up and register your intention to attend on the hackfest wikipage. This is a developer centric hackfest where we invite coders, documenters, testers, graphic artists, translators and anyone else who is interested in improving QGIS for the benefit of all our users. General users of QGIS are of course also welcome to join us, but we will not be holding any specific user-centric workshops or talks like we do at our user conferences.

Point release QGIS 2.8.3 ‘Wien’ is ready!

Thu, 06 Aug 2015 19:13:00 +0000

We are very pleased to announce the point release of QGIS 2.8.3 ‘Wien’. Wien is German for ‘Vienna’ – host city to our developer meet up in November 2009 and again in March 2014.

As point release it contains no new features, but 150 changes to fix bugs (see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/compare/final-2_8_2…final-2_8_3 for a full list).

Even when only fixes are added to software they introduce the possibility of new bugs – if you encounter any problems with this release, please file a ticket on the QGIS Bug Tracker (http://hub.qgis.org/). Please consult the existing and closed issues there before filing any new ones.

QGIS 2.10 ‘Pisa’ released!

Sun, 26 Jul 2015 14:04:19 +0000

We are very pleased to announce the release of QGIS 2.10 ‘Pisa’. Pisa was the host city to our developer meet up in March 2010.

Latest Release

This is another release following our four monthly schedule. It again brings many nice new features to QGIS. With the release of 2.10 the previous release 2.8 ‘Wien’, which is designated a long term release (LTR) is moved to the long term package repositories and is the first to arrive there. If you are working in a production environment where you wish to be more conservative about rolling out new features to your users, you will probably prefer those. Of course going with the feature frozen LTR also means that you’ll have to learn
to do without all the nice new things introduced in 2.10 and above until the next long term is released next year.
