<li> Measure tool allows you to measure distances on the map with both segment length and total length displayed as you click
43
-
<li> GPX loading times and memory consumption for large GPX (GPS) files has been drastically reduced
44
-
<li> Many enhancements to the digitizing tools have been made, including the ability to capture data straight into PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and improvements to the definition of attribute tables for newly created layers
45
-
<li> The Raster Georeferencer plugin can be used to generate a world file for a raster. The plugin allows you to define known control points in the raster coordinate system. Once enough control points are defined, the world file can be generated and the raster properly displayed in QGIS or other GIS applications
