Sessions
QGIS releases three new versions per year and each spring a new long-term release (LTR) is designated. Each version comes with a long list of new features. This rapid development pace can be difficult to keep up with, and many new features go unnoticed. This presentation will give a visual overview of some of the best new features released over the last calendar year. This will be a mixture of important/popular features along with those which are easily overlooked or missed. Each highlighted feature will not simply be described, but will be demonstrated with real data. The version number for each feature will also be provided. This will let you know which new features are included in the LTR. If you want to learn about the current capabilities of QGIS this talk is for you! Potential topics include: Annotation layers * GUI enhancements * New Expressions * Point cloud support * Print layout enhancements * New renderers and symbology improvements * Mesh data algorithms * 3D * Editing
