Description:
It is our great pleasure to announce the immediate availability of Quantum GIS (QGIS) Version 0.8.1. Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU General Public License. QGIS lets you browse and create map data on your computer. It supports many common spatial data formats (e.g. ESRI ShapeFile, geotiff). QGIS supports plugins to do things like display tracks from your GPS. QGIS is Open Source software and its free of cost (download here). We welcome contributions from our user community in the form of code contributions, bug fixes, bug reports, contributed documentation, advocacy and supporting other users on our mailing lists and forums. Financial contributions are also welcome. The release also includes numerous bug fixes and stability improvements to the 0.8 code base. QGIS is available is source form, and will be available as binary executables for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux. All versions can be obtained from our download page. If the version for your platform is not available please check back in a day or two as some pacakges are still being built. As an open source project, we provide support for using QGIS via our mailing lists and bug tracker:

* For general enquiries subscribe to our users mailing list at http://lists.qgis.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
* For developer related enquiries subscribe to our separate developers list at http://lists.qgis.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
* If you think you have found a bug, please report it using our bug tracker. When reporting bugs, please include some contact information in case we need help with replicating your issue at https://svn.qgis.org/trac

2) Raster layers get the source SRS from XML only, and does not read the
GDAL view of projection.

r6409 Ported r6405:6406 from refactor branch
r6437 Add QtSql framework to Mac library list. Qt3Support needs it but it isn't loaded automatically by the Qt4.2.2/Mac binary distribution.

r6502 Applied patch from ticket #565 Do not render features or their labels if their classification value doesn't match a symbol's lower/upper range
r6506 Fixed CMake files for 0.8 built on win32. Does not build wms, and postgres is not tested/does not work.
All qgis files are compiled into qgis_core.dll (raster, legend, composer, gui, core).
Resulting binary crashes, but runs in gdb. Beware!
Please see build instructions for trunk on win32, the same environment is used here.
r6508 Small fix for postgres headers

r6554 Added missing GEOS include path for building pg provider on mac
r6574 On Mac, search for util.h instead of pty.h (same as r6525 in trunk)
r6575 CMake tweaks to get build working on mac

r6587 Added missing inlcudes and libs for mac build to work
r6588 Added uninstall target for cmake
r6594 I took the liberty...
r6598 Fix for bug #574. Checking for out-of-memory when allocating data buffer for rasterIO,
and also trying to avoid too high zoom level. In either case, the raster does not get displayed.
r6601 Fixing tabs
r6604 No double warning in case snapping failed (for 0.8 branch this time)
r6605 Added better logic for application path:
We could just hard code the path to qgis libs and share dir (as used to be done)
but that makes qgis non relocatable which is needed for my
generic QGIS linux bundle. So lets start by trying a relative path
and then falling back to the paths set in the make process
r6606 Fix for bug #569
r6614 Fix for #599 also for 0.8 branch
r6617 Applied patch #603. Thanks!
r6631 Use absolute file path to util.h on mac to resolve compile errors due to geos util.h being found instead
r6632 Install mac bundle stuff
r6633 Hard code search path for util.h on mac
r6634 Adjusted the version to have no spaces and to be ready for 0.8.1 release. Having spaces in the version breaks some sed scripts that run when doing a make install on osx.
r6635 Added tooltips to the scale and coordinate position displays
in the status bar.
r6638 Fix for compiling with cmake and without postgres
r6639 Updated version 0.8.1
r6641 Updated version in spalsh to 0.8.1
r6645 Set version no to 0.8.1
r6646 Dont build unit tests
r6647 Install headers for 0.8.1 into $PREFIX/include/qgis so that 3rd party app writers done need qgis sources
r6649 Dont try to run moc on qgsproject.h which is not moccable
r6650 Add qt plugins to the setup file
Add includes to the setup file (in its own section)
r6659 Backported change from 6658 to 0.8 brnach (dont overwrite qgssvnversion.h with each build)
r6660 Small fix to qgssvnversion detection
r6662 Backported from head to fix build problems in win cmd.exe prompt
r6667 Enhancements to installer builder:
- added a new zipdll.nsh that needs to be copied into the NSIS/include dir and should fix download and extract sample data functionality
- updated readme file
- it now expects the qgis binaries to be packaged to exist in c:\Program Files\qgis
- set the PRODUCT_VERSION_NUMBER before running
This will allow having multiple development versions on the same machine and being able to package them without issue.
r6668 More helpful hints and germane advice for wannabe nsis users
r6669 Make the generated setup exe automatically contain the version number e.g. qgis_setup0.8.1.exe
r6670 Im no longer supporting / maintaining two versions of teh installer. If we want debug stuff in the future Ill add it as a new section in the installer.

r6701 Applied patch from ticket #615 to use appropriate search path for help files
