Qgis Landmark Events
QGIS has had a lot of landmark events in it’s development. Here are just a few, not necessarily in chronological order:
- It compiled and ran on Linux, displaying data from a PostGIS database
- Successfully ported the code to Windows
- Successfully ported the code to Mac
- GRASS integration
- Added on the fly projection and coordinate system support
- Python support, allowing plugins
- Print composer (now layout)
- Installers everywhere! msi, dmg, osgeo4w, linux packages
- Migration of the code from CVS -> SVN - Git
- Processing toolbox
- The API-breaking migration from Python 2.x to 3.x
It’s far from the humble and dodgy kid it was back in the day (August 2002):
