<p>For those of you using QGIS (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.qgis.org" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.qgis.org</a>)
- the 3.4 LTR (Long Term Release) has been set loose. You can
load 3.4 and receive Service packs and support for one year and
not have to worry about functionality changes in a production
environment. For those of you not - shame (points finger). <br>
</p>
<p>You can view the changelog here: <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/version/3.4-LTR/"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/version/3.4-LTR/</a></p>
Of Note: <br>
<ul>
<li>Search through all layers now through the Locator Tool in
the bottom right of the application <br>
</li>
<li>Improved Geopackage Support with regards to raster<br>
</li>
<li>Topology checks while editing</li>
<li>Improved Vertex handling with precision and the vertex tool
<br>
</li>
<li>Advanced Digitizing Dock improvements</li>
<li>New Expressions in the field Calculator <br>
</li>
<li>Improvements to 3D Viewer <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm pretty sure there is a lot more. For those of you on the
current 2.18 long term release I'd suggest downloading 3.4 and
working with it for a bit before moving everyone over - it is a
bit different from what you could be used to seeing (in a very
good way). <br>
</p>
<p>One more thing - late this week or early next should see a
brand new MacOS package being released. It's an "All in one"
installer (I've installed QGIS on Mac twice so I'm not that
knowledgeable on it). There's been a major push to get the Mac
Side of the software in order. <br>
</p>
<p>Enjoy your shiny new software release! <br>
