Changelog for QGIS 3.28

image1

Release date: 2022-10-21

QGIS 3.28 Firenze introduces various feature updates, UX modifications, usability enhancements, and improved integration with various proprietary services and data backends. It is also set to introduce the long-awaited features provided by previous releases into the long-term support release, as outlined in the QGIS Roadmap.

The splash screen features a rare and extraordinary 1847 map of Firenze, or Florence, Italy by Giuseppe Molini. This magnificently engraved map was originally drawn in 1731 by the Florentine architect Ferdinando Ruggieri. Oriented to the south, the map covers the old walled center of Florence as it extends on both sides of the Arno River. The upper right quadrant features the lily symbol of Florence. Though printed in 1847, this map has been prepared in the 17th-century style by copperplate engraving on thick-laid paper. Firenze in 1847 was on the cusp of political transformation. One year following the production of this rare map the Grand Duke of Tuscany, responding to political demonstrations throughout Florence, granted Tuscany its first constitution.

Breaking Changes

Feature: Drop project backward compatibility for symbology with QGIS 3.16 and older

Previous releases of QGIS would write significant amounts of compatibility objects into the XML structure of project files to maintain backward compatibility for symbologies in order to allow project files to be opened with QGIS 3.16 and older. This compatibility has been removed from future releases, providing significant optimizations to the project file structure.

Temporal

Feature: Add temporal manager support for WMTS layers with TIME dimension

This enhancement exposes any WMTS "time" dimensions for use in the temporal framework, including allowing these layers to be animated and controlled via the temporal controller.

When we do detect a time dimension on a WMTS layer, we no longer expose this in the same way as other non-time dimensions. The browser panel does not show the dimension values, and adding the layer via Data Source Manager no longer prompts the user to pick from the available time values. Instead, these layers are indicated with a new "time capable raster layer" icon, and are added to a project without the user specifying a time value.

Just like a WMS(T) layer, when a time-dimension enabled WMTS layer is added to the project, it will default to the "automatic" temporal mode, meaning that the layer will follow the temporal controller's current time range by default. A user can then opt to show a specific static time value for the layer through the layer's Temporal properties page, by unchecking "Dynamic Temporal Control" and picking a specific available time range from the "Predefined date" option.

This should unify the user experience so that the usage of WMTS time-enabled layers is essentially identical to the usage of WMS(T) layers.

Map Tools

Feature: Allow selecting features in vector tile layers

Support for selecting features from vector tile layers has been added, which allows users to use the standard map-based selection tools to interactively select features from these sources.

When a vector tile layer has a selection, a user can:

  • Copy the features and paste them to other layers, or paste them into a scratch layer
  • Use other (non-editing) tools which operate on selections, such as "zoom to selected features"/"pan to selected features"

Selections can be made using any of the interactive map-based selection tools, e.g. select by rectangle, freehand, polygon, or radius. All the shortcuts which apply to vector selections for adding/subtracting/intersecting selections also apply.

Selecting features is made using the tile zoom level of the canvas, and then the features selected at this zoom level persist even if the user changes the map scale to another vector tile zoom level. This means a user can zoom in and select a small/ detailed feature, then zoom out and still see the selected feature on the map.

User Interface

Feature: Exclusive window based UX for data source manager

The data source manager dialog is now ALWAYS non modal, and options to set it as such have been removed. The dialog now functions just like other "manager" type windows in QGIS, such as the style manager or layout manager.

The data source manager will instead be treated as its own window, which is raised to the foreground whenever the Data Source Manager button is pressed.

Feature: Add a Show in Attribute Table action to the right click menu of legend class symbols

A new "Show in Attribute Table" action has been added to the right-click context menu of legend class symbols in the table of contents. This allows users to open the attribute table with a filter applied to match only the features relevant to a particular symbol group. This provides a significant performance improvement for certain datasets, such as large vector layers loaded from a remote source.

Feature: Add setting to hide NULL values on identify result

The "Identify Features" utility now provides the capability to hide NULL values from the returned results

Symbology

Feature: Allow control over GPS location marker

A new general GPS options page has been introduced which includes new settings for controlling the marker symbol used for the current GPS location, and whether this symbol should be rotated to match the GPS direction.

Feature: Added new ellipse marker shapes

The symbol styles for the ellipse marker type now include additional shape types for:

  • Pentagon
  • Hexagon
  • Octagon
  • Third Circle
  • Quarter Circle
  • Star

Labelling

Feature: Add support for HTML bold/italic/font size and font family to labelling

Support for additional HTML formatting tags have been added for use within labeling (and everywhere else the text renderer is used).

Supported tags specifically include:

  • font family
  • font size
  • bold
  • italic

Feature: Add option to use absolute units for line height

Previously, the line height was always set in multiples of the text line spacing, however, it is now possible to use absolute units for line height (useful in contexts where mixed text sizes are used within a single document).

image10

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Mesh

Feature: Add option to reload mesh layer temporal properties

An "Always take reference time from data source" option has been added for mesh layers that when checked, will ensure that the reference time is reloaded from the data source, and each time the layer is reloaded or the project reopened the time properties will be updated from the file automatically.

In previous releases, when a mesh layer file had a reference time and time extent that changed, the time layer properties would not be updated when the projector layer are reloaded, and the user would be required to manually navigate to the "Reload from provider" feature in the temporal tab of the layer properties.

This feature was developed by Vincent Cloarec

3D Features

Feature: Ambient Occlusion 3D Effect

A new ambient occlusion effect is available for rendering data in 3D views that is useful for improving depth perception of the data in 3D. This is a post-processing effect and it can be even combined with eye dome lighting (EDL) for quite interesting results. An oversimplification of the effect is that features that are not visible to the camera are used to texture and darken neighboring elements, with the benefit of improving contrast, feature definition, and differentiation.

There is a new item for controlling the state of Ambient Occlusion in the configuration menu for 3D views, as well as extra parameters in the advanced section of the configuration dialog for fine-grained control over:

  • Radius: The distance threshold for calculating ambient occlusion
  • Intensity: The strength of the effect should be (higher values make things darker)
  • Occlusion threshold: Number of neighboring points that need to be occluded for the effect to appear (values lower than 50% will make the output darker, but possibly provide a greater range of occlusion)

This feature was developed by Martin Dobias & Belgacem Nedjima

Point Clouds

Feature: Point Cloud Layer Export

Point Cloud layers now support being exported to vector or point cloud data formats, with optional filtering.

Supported formats include:

  • Temporary scratch layer (memory layer)
  • GeoPackage
  • Shapefile
  • DXF
  • LAZ (requires build WITH_PDAL)
  • Uncompressed LAS files

Export operations support filtering by:

  • Extent
  • Filtering by Z Range
  • Limiting the number of exported points
  • Filtering spatially by polygon layer

In addition, output CRS definition and re-projection are also supported.

This feature was developed by Nedjima Belgacem

Feature: Add FORCE_RASTER and IMAGE_COMPRESSION parameters to PDF algorithms

The FORCE_RASTER and IMAGE_COMPRESSION parameters have been added to the various "Export print layout as PDF" algorithms, including support for Atlas and multifile exports.

FORCE_RASTER is mutually exclusive with and takes precedence over the FORCE_VECTOR parameter.

image15

This feature was developed by Andrea Giudiceandrea

Expressions

Feature: Add new variable form of current feature expression functions

The newer style variable form has been added for referencing the current feature and its attributes in expressions.

The newly introduced variables are:

  • @feature: a replacement for $currentfeature, contains the current feature
  • @id: a replacement for $id, contains the current feature id
  • @geometry: a replacement for $geometry, contains the current feature geometry

This is a step towards eventually deprecating the older $ style functions, and providing a more consistent approach to expressions instead of an unpredictable mix of @/$.

Older functions and variable references will continue to work (and will likely continue working indefinitely for the sake of compatibility with older projects). They will also continue (for the time being) to be exposed in the UI to avoid user confusion.

image16

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: Add new shared_paths function

A new shared_paths function has been added which returns a collection containing paths shared by the two input geometries. Those going in the same direction are in the first element of the collection, and those going in the opposite direction are in the second element. The paths themselves are given in the direction of the first geometry.

image17

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: Make_valid and geom_to_array functions

Additional functions have been added for:

  • make_valid: Repair broken input geometries and returns the corrected geometries
  • geometries_to_array: This converts a geometry collection into an array for easier handling and iteration

image18

This feature was developed by Alex

Feature: Concave hull function

A new concave_hull function is now available in QGIS expressions (GEOS 3.11+)

image19

This feature was developed by Loïc Bartoletti

Feature: Ask for confirmation when discarding expression changes

A new confirmation dialog is now safeguarding users against accidentally discarding their unapplied changes in expression editor dialogs. This safeguard is used in the Expression String Builder, the Expression Dialog (Epsilon icon, e. g. for Geometry Generators or for Pre-calculated Values in the model builder) and the Expression Based Filter (Attribute Table -> Advanced filter expression).

This feature was developed by Johannes Kröger

Data Management

Feature: Ask for confirmation when deleting features

A new confirmation dialog appears by default when users perform an action that would delete records, such as using the DEL key or toolbar actions, to further reduce the risks of accidental feature deletion. Additionally, the feature count is now included in the dialog message itself (and is also still displayed in the title bar), making the total number of features deleted more clear to users.

In previous releases, similar confirmation prompts would only be displayed when some features fell out of the extent of the map canvas, or the deletion triggered the removal of child relation features. The new behavior is for the prompt to be enabled by default and disabled by using the "Don't show this message again" checkbox.

Metadata and Metasearch

Feature: Layer metadata data provider search and storage

Implementation of elements from the QEP #250 "Database metadata storage" initiative have been completed and this functionality includes the creation of a new layer metadata API and GUI components.

The following data providers/formats are supported for storing and managing layer metadata in QGIS:

  • GPKG (it was implemented already, I just wrapped it into the new API)
  • Postgres
  • Postgres Raster

In addition, a new layer metadata search tab is available from the data source manager, and an interactive layer metadata search is available using the QGIS locator.

Processing

Feature: Fixed precision support for select processing tools

A new advanced parameter is available for some processing tools which allows the use of the fixed precision parameter provided by GEOS >= 3.9.0. This parameter is listed under advanced parameters as "Grid Size" and is currently supported in the following tools:

  • Overlap
  • Intersection
  • Difference
  • Symmetrical Difference
  • Union

Feature: Improved "Make Valid" Algorithms

QGIS can now use the newer refined GEOS 3.10+ methods for validating and repairing geometry features.

image23

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: Default option to show feature count for vector outputs from processing

A new Show feature count for output vector layers setting is available (but disabled by default for performance reasons), which will automatically enable the "show feature count" option on output layers loaded from QGIS processing. This is able to give users a first glimpse of what to expect as an output from a Processing algorithm.

Feature: Add relations export option to package layers algorithm

The "Package Layers" processing tool now supports optionally following project relations and exporting related tables following the hierarchy both upstream and downstream, whilst also taking selected features into account.

This feature was developed by Alessandro Pasotti

Feature: Add "Offset" parameter to "Drape" algorithms

Adds the "Offset" parameter to the "Drape (set Z value from raster)" and "Set M value from raster" algorithms. The "Offset" value is algebraically added to the band values after applying the "Scale factor".

image26

This feature was developed by Andrea Giudiceandrea

Application and Project Options

Feature: Modified project coordinate and bearing display settings

The Coordinate and Bearing Display options in the project settings have been updated in line with the following:

  • Map Units (behavior is the same as previous releases)
  • Map Geographic (modified behavior)
  • Custom Projection Units (new type)

The legacy Geographic (Latitude/ Longitude) option would display values in the map CRS coordinates if the CRS was geographic, otherwise, it would transform coordinates to a hard-coded WGS84 CRS value.

The updated Map Geographic (degrees) option, which supersedes the legacy approach, will display values in the map CRS coordinates if the CRS is geographic, however in instances where it is not, the internal QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::toGeographicCrs() API will be used to transform the coordinates into the map CRS' associated geographic CRS. This is helpful in various contexts, such as when analyzing non-earth celestial bodies.

The Custom Projection Units type is a new addition that defaults to WGS84 and allows users to set any CRS they desire as display coordinates.

Feature: Add support for "user" fonts, and automatic downloading of freely licensed fonts

A new "Fonts" panel has been added to the settings dialog, which provides support for the following functionalities:

  • The ability for users to populate a list of automatic font replacements to apply when loading projects or styles, allowing better support for projects and styles to be used across different operating systems (e.g. replace "Arial" with "Helvetica").
  • Users can now place TTF or OTF fonts in the "fonts" subfolder of their user profile. These fonts will automatically be loaded at QGIS startup time. This provides a way for users to use fonts without requiring them to be installed on an operating system level, which is often blocked in enterprise environments. The Fonts setting panel lists all installed user fonts and allows users to manage (i.e. remove) previously installed user fonts
  • An API is provided for other tools, such as plugins and other clients, to specify additional user font folders which should be scanned during QGIS startup
  • Automatic downloading of missing fonts is now supported in certain circumstances. If a user opens a project or style, or they try to load a vector tile layer that references fonts that aren't currently available, then a hard-coded list of freely licensed fonts to download via URL is consulted to determine whether it's possible to automatically download the font to the user font directory (and notify the user of the font license). A setting to opt out of this behavior is provided in the Fonts panel if so desired.

Browser

Feature: Implement relationship discovery for OGR layers, and show relationships in browser

The Project Properties → Relations → Discover Relations feature is now able to support OGR layers that support relationships, such GeoPackage (via the related tables extension) and ESRI FileGeodatabases.

The QGIS Browser Panel now includes the ability to show detailed relationship information for these data sources.

image29

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: Modified UX for Geopackage and ESRI File Geodatabase creation

A "New ESRI File Geodatabase" action has been added to the QGIS Browser right-click context menu on directories, and a new "vacuum" action is available for GDB files. (requires GDAL 3.6+)

Additionally, creating a new Geopackage from the same menu will now immediately create an empty GPKG, rather than the legacy behavior of opening a table creation dialog by default (and requiring table creation or users to input dummy data).

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1829991/178902332-0e112e73-0140-45b9-84bf-fc7875cb7b98.gif

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: Allow drag and drop of vector layers to non-GPKG OGR database datasets

QGIS now allows drag and drop of vector layers between OGR database datasets that are not stored in GPKG format, for instance, the dragging of a layer onto a GDB to import that dataset into the geodatabase

image31

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: Expose field domain management for non-gpkg OGR sources

The QGIS browser now supports more advanced functionalities for OGR databases that are not in GPKG format, including Field domain management capabilities (creation and listing domains) and table creation. This means that users can manage field domains and create new tables in an existing ESRI FileGeodatabase database from the QGIS Browser interface.

Data Providers

Feature: Define session role for PostgreSQL connections

A session_role setting can now be specified for PostgreSQL connections to set the user identifier of the active SQL session. Permissions checking for SQL commands are then carried out with the associated named role.

This is highly useful in instances where it is desirable to automatically give ownership of new objects (Tables/ Views/ Functions etc.) to the session_role group, and share ownership and the associated rights with all members of the session_role group.

The specified session_role must be a role that the current session user is a member of, or if the session user is a superuser, any role can be selected.

This feature was funded by 3liz

This feature was developed by rldhont

For GDAL data formats with embedded relationship information, whenever a table is added QGIS is now able to discover relationships and immediately add all the related tables to the current project (if they don't already exist). Additionally, when adding these related layers QGIS will automatically configure the corresponding QGIS relationships.

This works for all formats which support the GDAL relationship API, which include:

  • Geopackage (via the related tables extension)
  • ESRI FileGDB/ OpenFileGDB
  • ESRI Personal Geodatabase
  • SQLite/ Spatialite formats.

Feature: Abstract database provider for renaming fields

A QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection interface has been added for supporting renaming fields, and implemented for OGR connections along with the ability to rename existing fields for supported database connections via the QGIS Browser interface.

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: WFS performing binary spatial operations in expressions on server

QGIS used to be able to perform the expression filters of binary spatial operations on the server when the geometry was provided as WKT or in the GML format. This change converts the geometry from being a static variable in the expression to an OGC filter. The WFS URL is then created by combining a bounding box rectangle, layer filter, and the filtering expression.

A feature request computes the expression in advance to find out if it can be performed on the server, then it's stored in QgsBackgroundCachedSharedData where a new download is triggered.

When a filter request is not a pure binary spatial operation, it will not be evaluated on the server.

This feature was funded by Kanton Schaffhausen

Feature: Editing ArcGIS REST Layers

QGIS now supports the editing of ArcGIS feature server layers, such as those hosted on ArcGIS online. Assuming the user has appropriate permissions granted for editing a layer, it will unlock the ability to use the native QGIS tools to edit that layer. These changes include support for the following operations:

  • Deleting features
  • Adding new features
  • Curved geometries (only supported for enterprise ArcGIS server, as ArcGIS online currently has no support for curves)
  • Modifying existing features
  • Modifying attributes (creating fields, deleting fields, creating attribute indexes)

This feature was funded by Naturstyrelsen and Miljøstyrelsen, Danish Ministry of Environment

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Feature: Load raster sublayers from vector tile styles automatically

When loading a new vector tile source into a project, if the associated MapBox GL style includes any raster sublayers, then also load those into the project with converted styles.

QGIS Server

Feature: QGIS_SERVER_ALLOWED_EXTRA_SQL_TOKENS settings variable

This new feature allows specifying extra tokens which may be used for a WMS FILTER definition. The current list of accepted tokens is rather small and this setting will allow system administrators to easily enlarge the list of allowed tokens.

This feature was funded by Zweckverband Grevesmühlen

This feature was developed by Alessandro Pasotti

Feature: Open layers in a read only mode with QGIS Server

A new QGIS_SERVER_FORCE_READONLY_LAYERS environment variable to force QGIS Server to open layers in read-only mode.

This includes various underlying API changes to support read-only configuration for data provider construction, project structure, and layer properties.

This feature was funded by Ifremer

This feature was developed by rldhont

Plugins

Feature: Changes to plugin automatic updates behaviour

This change moves the old app/plugin_installer/checkOnStart setting key to a new plugins/automatically-check-for-updates key, and switches the default value to enable automatic checks.

This is designed to switch all existing QGIS users to the new default behavior of checking for plugin updates at startup (at a maximum of once every 3 days).

It is intended to offer a better QGIS experience to our users, by proactively informing all users when plugins should be updated, ensuring that ALL users are more likely to upgrade plugins and get the bug fixes for plugins promptly.

Enterprise users who have customised this setting in their deployments will need to adapt their scripts for the new setting key.

Additionally, the option to control the number of days between plugin startup checks has been removed and is hardcoded at 3 days.

This feature was developed by Nyall Dawson

Programmability

Feature: Add temporal handling to maps in QGIS Quick

A new implementation has been added to allow the Canvas and Map Settings in QGIS Quick to handle temporal functionality.

This feature was developed by Mathieu Pellerin

Feature: Addition of py-args command line parameter

When running QGIS from the command line with the --code parameter, a new --py-args utility allows the passing of arguments to the python interpreter.

Arguments between --py-args and -- are passed to the python interpreter and ignored by QGIS, so for example, when using the following command:

qgis --code /home/user/example.py --py-args --specialScriptArguments "arg1" 'arg2' -- layer1 layer2

The example.py script will have --specialScriptArguments, arg1, and arg2 passed as system arguments to the python interpreter, whilst layer1 and layer2 will be handled by QGIS normally and loaded as map layers
