What's new in this version:
- Quick adjustment of the OSD from scratch with hotkeys and multi-selection functionality. This feature is not new for 4.5.0, it was in previous versions, but knows about it a fairly narrow range of users (because no one reads the documentation :)). And this ability greatly accelerates the setting
Display keyboard and mouse Input overlay; made for the evening specifically for this demo video:
- Monitor the load of memory at the level of the desired process using the plugin PerfCounter
- Selection of fragments of the monitoring history, detection of local minima / maxima
- Use the profiler of the monitoring module, which helps to identify and disable the most "gluttonous" sensors

- Fixed a crash when MSI Afterburner was launched on AMD Hawaii
- Fixed bug with incorrect display of chart properties
- Improved voltage / frequency curve editor for NVIDIA cards compatible with GPU Boost 3.0
- The usability and stability of the hardware monitoring module is improved by adding the basic functionality of the monitoring libraries from the original RivaTuner . So, monitoring of frequencies and temperatures of modern processors of Intel and AMD is added
- Added a benchmark tab that uses the hidden engine in RivaTuner Statistics Server
- Added ability to control the view of the OSD with the ability to switch between classic and columnar information display. The built-in editor allows you to customize the output information
- There was an opportunity to display parameters in the OSD in the form of text or graphics, which is useful for visualizing the history
- The original task planner returned from RivaTuner ! Now you can set the minimum and maximum thresholds for any graph, and its achievement will cause some urgent action, including sound notification, color change, launch of any application or system shutdown
- The original extension plug-ins from RivaTuner have returned! Now you can add monitoring charts to third-party modules, or create your own. These plug-ins can use the full set of low-level Afterburner settings. The package includes plugins SMART.dll for demonstration of SMART attributes; PerfCounter.dll for showing the principles of importing performance counters from the OS; AIDA64.dll for displaying the readings of the power sensors from AIDA64; HWInfo.dll for importing data from HWiNFO32 / 64, etc.

What's new in this version:
- Added AMD Ellesmere and Baffin graphics processors families support
- Added Overdrive N (Overdrive 7) technology support for AMD Polaris architecture based graphics cards
- Added core voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON RX 460, AMD RADEON RX 470 and AMD RADEON RX 480 series cards with on-die SMC voltage controller
- Added memory controller usage graph to hardware monitoring module for AMD graphics cards. Currently memory controller usage monitoring is implemented for AMD Ellesmere and Baffin graphics processors families only
- Added GPU power draw graph to hardware monitoring module for AMD graphics cards. Currently GPU power draw monitoring is implemented for AMD Ellesmere and Baffin graphics processors families only
- Added “Erase autosaved startup settings” option to “AMD compatibility properties” section in “General” tab. Starting from AMD Crimson drivers family, the driver is automatically saving hardware settings (e.g. overclocking or fan control settings) in the registry and apply it at Windows startup. It makes settings of any third party hardware overclocking tool virtually permanent, meaning that applied settings stay in the system even after rebooting or powering down the system. However, such implementation is unsafe and even potentially dangerous, because you're no longer able to undo unsafe overclocking with system reboot or even driver reinstall. To prevent such situations, MSI Afterburner can now optionally erase AMD driver's autosaved startup settings after applying new settings to hardware
- Increased default maximum limits for “Core clock”, “Memory clock” and “Memory usage” graphs to improve graphs readability on NVIDIA Pascal series graphics cards
- Community-created third party hardware database providing voltage control support on some non-MSI custom design graphics cards is now included in distributive
- Added uP1816 voltage regulators support to provide compatibility with future custom design MSI graphics cards
- Improved validation and handling of erroneous data reported after TDR or during runtime driver installation on NVIDIA graphics cards
- Improved clock monitoring on GPU Boost 2.0 NVIDIA graphics cards after dynamic uninstallation/reinstallation of display driver during MSI Afterburner runtime
- Added detection of runtime driver installation on NVIDIA graphics cards. Now MSI Afterburner is periodically checking the presence of NVIDIA driver and displaying notification message informing you that the connection with GPU is lost when the driver is being dynamically uninstalled during MSI Afterburner runtime
- Startup profile is now also affected by “Lock profiles” button, which means that you cannot modify or delete your startup overclocking settings while this button is pressed. This feature can be useful to protect startup overclocking settings from modification while temporarily testing various overclocking scenarios on overclocked system
- Added support for unofficial overclocking mode with disabled PowerPlay on PowerPlay7 capable hardware (AMD Tonga and newer graphics processors family)
- Added unofficial overclocking support for AMD Polaris architecture based graphics cards
- Added ability to use low-level hardware access interface on the systems with AMD graphics cards when legacy VGA BIOS image is not mapped to memory (e.g. in UEFI environment)
- Improved compatibility with the systems with both Overdrive 5 and Overdrive 6 API AMD graphics cards installed
- Added driver registry key detection for the secondary display adapters in SLI/Crossfire systems. Due to this improvement it is no longer necessary to temporarily disable Crossfire when altering some settings in “!MD compatibility properties” section (e.g. “Extend official overclocking limits” or “Enable ULPS” settings)
- Improved hardware polling and application startup time on ULPS-enabled Crossfire systems with AMD Fiji and newer AMD graphics processors
- Primary GPU usage is no longer cloned on all secondary GPU usage graphs on Crossfire systems when “Enable unified GPU usage monitoring” is enabled in “!MD compatibility properties”. Please take a note that only the primary GPU load is available on Crossfire systems when this option is enabled
- Updated IO driver provides more secure MMIO access interface
- Fixed bug causing the maximum value to be invisible on some hardware monitoring graphs under certain conditions (e.g. “Framerate” or “Frametime” graphs After closing 3D application)
- Added ability to define numpad keys as hotkeys when in on
- Guru3D RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v6.5.0
Added GPU Boost 3.0 technology support for NVIDIA Pascal graphics cards:
- Added percent based overvoltage support
Added voltage/frequency curve customization support. You may use traditional core clock slider on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080 graphics cards to apply fixed offset to all voltage/frequency curve points as well as use brand new flexible voltage/frequency curve editor window for more precise per-point curve adjustment. The editor window can be activated either with “Voltage/frequency curve editor” button in the main application window or with + keyboard shortcut and it provides you the following features:
- You may independently adjust clock frequency offset for each point with mouse cursor or / keys
- You may hold key to set anchor and fix clock frequency offset in minimum/maximum voltage point and adjust the offset of any other point with mouse to linearly interpolate the offsets between the anchor and adjustment points
- You may hold key while adjusting the offset of any point with mouse to apply the same fixed offset to all points. That’s equal to adjusting the offset with the slider in main application window
- You may press + to reset offsets for all points
- You may switch between traditional core clock control slider in the main window and voltage/frequency curve editor window to see how they affect each other in realtime
- You may press after selecting any point on the curve with mouse cursor to disable GPU dynamic voltage/frequency adjustment and lock the voltage and core clock frequency to a state defined by the target point. This feature allows you to test graphics card stability independently for each voltage/frequency point of the curve using real 3D applications or any stress test of your choice. In addition to stability testing usage scenario, MSI Afterburner allows you to save a curve with locked point setting to a profile, so you may easily switch between dynamic voltage/frequency management and fixed voltage/frequency settings in realtime (e.g. to achieve the maximum performance during benchmarking). Please take a note that fixed voltage and frequency settings do not allow you to disable power and thermal throttling
Added configuration file switch, allowing you to toggle the source for “Power” graph on NVIDIA graphics cards. Normalized total power draw (i.e. normalized value from multiple power sensors installed on the graphics card) is selected by default per NVIDIA recommendation, however you can configure MSI Afterburner to display power draw from GPU sensor only:
- Improved representation of performance limits graphs for NVIDIA graphics cards per NVIDIA recommendations - "Voltage limit” and “OV max limit” graphs have been merged into single “Voltage limit” graph
- Utilization limit” graph has been renamed to “No load limit” graph
- SLI sync” graph is now hidden on the systems with single NVIDIA GPU
- Improved representation of performance limits graphs in On-Screen Display or in Logitech keyboard LCD. Now the names or currently triggered performance limits are being displayed in On-Screen Display or in Logitech keyboard LCD instead of previously used binary limits representation form

What's new in this version:
LONG TERM RELEASE:
- This is a special release since it is designated an ‘LTR’ (Long Term Release). LTR releases will be supported with backported bug fixes for one year, and will be in permanent feature freeze (i.e. no new features will be added, only bug fixes and trivial updates).
- The purpose of LTR releases is to provide a stable and less frequently changing platform for enterprises and organisations that do not want to deal with updating user skills, training materials etc. more than once per year. The success of the LTR is very much down to you, our beloved users - we need your support to help funding bug fixes and making sure in your support contracts with support providers specify that any bug fixes done on your behalf are applied to the LTR branch as well as our normal development branch.
- If an LTR is important to you, please consider also directly supporting the QGIS project, or encourage your commercial provider to use LTR as a basis for your enterprise solution so that everyone may benefit from a stable platform that is being continuously improved and refined. Note that for users and organisations that like to live on the frontier, our regular four monthly releases will continue unabated.
NEW FEATURES:
- QGIS 2.8 is also a special release because it includes so many great new features, tweaks and enhancements to make the most popular Free desktop GIS even more feature filled and useful.
- Whenever new features are added to software they introduce the possibility of new bugs - if you encounter any problems with this release, please file a ticket on the QGIS Bug Tracker.
GENERAL:
Enter expressions into spin boxes:
- When editing attributes in the attribute table or forms, you can now enter expressions directly into spin boxes, e.g. 5 * 2.5 and they will be automatically evaluated.
Bookmarks can be imported/exported:
- It is now possible to save / load your bookmarks to a file. This makes it easy to share bookmarked locations, or transfer them between computers.
Improvements to expressions:
- Integer division produces a double when required: Previously dividing two integers in an expression would always result in an integer value, i.e. 5 / 2 = 2. Now the result will always be double when required, so 5 / 2 = 2.5, which is much more expected for users. A new integer divide operator - // has been added to mimic the old behaviour, i.e. 5 // 2 = 2.
- New ‘if()’ function: There is now a new if(cond, true, false) expression
- Lazy evaluation for expressions
- Added get and transform geometry: These new keywords can be used with getFeature for some geometry tests like intersects, crosses, contains, etc.
- geometry - returns the feature’s geometry
- transform - returns the transformed geometry
- Continuous testing framework and QA improvements:
- In our ongoing quest to improve the stability and quality of QGIS, every commit is now tested against a growing test suite to identify regressions automatically. In the image on the right you can see the list of incoming pull requests on our GitHub page are now automatically annotated with a check or cross based on whether our test suite successfully ran on Travis.ci when the pull request is made or updated.
- We are also now regularly performing Coverity scans of QGIS codebase. As a result of this, we have identified and fixed over 1000 flagged issues, including memory leaks and potential crashes. QGIS has a defect density of 0.01 wheras the average for programs of similar size is about 1.0.
- Analysis tools
Measure dialog improvements:
- The measure tool has been improved so that you can now select which units should be used in the measure dialog. There is also a new info section in the dialog that shows which settings are being used during measurement calculations.
BROWSER
More responsive browser:
- In the QGIS Browser items are now expanded in their own threads, speeding up the load time of the browser and making the browser more responsive. Navigating PostGIS sources is now much faster in the browser. The animated snapshot to the right (click image to see the animation) shows the loading of two slow WMS servers in parallel . The browser’s state (tree expansion) is restored on startup.
DATA PROVIDERS:
Support for contextual WMS legend graphics:
- If your WMS server supports contextual legends, you can make use of them in QGIS now too. Contextual legends are getLegendGraphic requests which return only the relevant legend for your current view extent, and thus do not include legend items for things you can’t see in the current map.
DATA MANAGEMENT:
Custom prefix for joins:
- You can now define a custom prefix in the joins manager in the layer properties dialog. When using a prefix, the attribute table in will show joined attribute names with your preferred prefix.
Support for creation of temporary memory layers:
- This release add support for creating new temporary scratch layers within QGIS core. Scratch layers can be created in the Layer --> Create layer --> New Temporary Scratch Layer menu option.
Support for calculations on selected rows:
- In the attribute table you can now do calculations on selected rows only thanks to the new button added to the field calculator bar.
DIGITISING
Advanced digitizing tools:
- If you ever wished you could digitise lines exactly parallel or at right angles, lock lines to specific angles and so on in QGIS, now you can! The advanced digitizing tools is a port of the CADinput plugin and adds a new panel to QGIS. The panel becomes active when capturing new geometries or geometry parts
- Feature: Improved simplify tool
- The simplify tool has been overhauled, adding:
- OTF reprojection support
- user can specify exact tolerance (not just non-sense relative value)
- tolerance can be specified either in map units or layer units or pixels
- tolerance settings are stored in settings
- simplify multiple features at once (drag a rectangle instead of just clicking)
- support for multi-part features
- statistics about reduction of the number of vertices
Snapping improvements:
- There is a new snapping mode : snap to all layers which makes it quick to enable snapping between all layers. Also the underlying snapping architecture of QGIS has been overhauled making snapping much faster on large projects and improving the precision with which snapping takes place. There’s also less confusion with snapping tolerances being to map units or layer units, so those anticipated 1 metre tolerances don’t become 1 degree tolerances without you knowing.
LAYER LEGEND
Show rule-based renderer’s legend as a tree:
- Advanced users who leverage QGIS’s rule based renderer system will be pleased to see that the rules are now presented as a tree in the legend. Better still, each node in the tree can be toggled on/off individually providing for great flexibility in which sublayers get rendered in your map.
MAP COMPOSER
Composer GUI Improvements
- View menu option to hide bounding boxes. This allows users to hide the bounding boxes for selected items within a composition. It’s a handy feature for allowing interaction with items while previewing exactly how they will look when the composition is exported, without large boxes blocking the view.
- Full screen mode for composer
- Option to toggle display of panels in composer, available by both the view menu, using the shortcut F10 and by pressing Tab when the composer canvas is selected. It’s useful for maximising the space when planning a map layout.
Grid improvements:
- In the composer you now have finer control of frame and annotation display. Previously, for rotated maps or reprojected grids, the composer would draw all coordinates for every map side. This resulted in a mix of latitude/y and longitude/x coordinates showing on a side. Now you can control whether you want all coordinates, latitude only or longitude only for each map frame side. Similar options have also been added for controlling how a map grid frame is divided.
- New vertical descending direction for annotations. This change adds a new descending vertical direction mode for map grid annotations. Previously only ascending text was supported for vertical annotations.
- Feature: Label item margins
- You can now control both horizontal and vertical margins for label items. Previously only a single margin setting would apply to both horizontal and vertical margins. This change allows users to specify different horizontal and vertical margins.
- You can now specify negative margins for label items, allowing text to be drawn slightly outside of a label item’s bounds. This is desirable for aligning label items with other items while allowing for optical margin alignment for the label type.
PLUGINS
Python console improvements:
- You can now drag and drop python scripts into QGIS window and they will be executed automatically. We also added a toolbar icon to the plugins toolbar and a shortcut ( Ctrl-Alt-P ) for quick access to the python console.
PROCESSING
New geometric predicate parameter type:
- With this new parameter type, used in Select by location, Extract by location and Join attributes by location algorithms, the user can select precisely the spatial operator to use.
- This feature was funded by: French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy
New algorithms:
- A number of new algorithms have been added to the processing framework:
- Regular points algorithm (addresses #5953)
- Symetrical difference algorithm (addresses #5953)
- Vector split algorithm (addresses #5953)
- Vector grid algorithm (addresses #5953)
- Hypsometric curves calculation algorithm
- Split lines with lines
- Refactor fields attributes manipulation algorithm
PROGRAMMABILITY
Add comment functionality to expressions:
- Comments can now be added to expressions using an SQL style -- prefix.
Custom expression function editor:
- You can now define custom expression functions in the expression widget. See this blog post for more details.
Qt5 support:
- QGIS can now be built using Qt5 libraries. Note that currently most binaries will still with Qt4 by default.
Bulk loading spatial index:
- In the API we have added support for bulk loading of spatial index. This is much faster way of initializing a spatial index. From python it is as simple as:
- The index tree should be also in theory be better constructed and may result in faster lookups.
Run only the selected part of a SQL query:
- In the DB Manager SQL editor, it is now possible to highlight a portion of the SQL and only that portion will be executed when you press F5 or click the run button
QGIS SERVER
Server python plugins:
- Python plugins support for QGIS server brings the power of python to server side, allowing for fast and efficient development and deployment of new features.
- This feature was developed by: Alessandro Pasotti (ItOpen)
Support for layer styles:
- QGIS Server now supports predefined layer styles in GetMap requests
- QGIS Server now supports multiple styles in GetStyles request (see symbology section below)
Add DescribeLayer Method to WMS:
- Styled Layer Descriptor profile of the Web Map Service: DescribeLayer
- Defining a user-defined style requires information about the features being symbolized, or at least their feature/coverage type. Since user-defined styles can be applied to a named layer, there needs to be a mechanism by which a client can obtain feature/coverage-type information for a named layer. This is another example of bridging the gap between the WMS concepts of layers and styles and WFS/WCS concepts such as feature-type and coverage layer. To allow this, a WMS may optionally support the DescribeLayer request.
- DescribeLayer method has been thought to be a better approach than overloading the WMS capabilities document even more.
- For each named layer, the description should indicate if it is indeed based on feature data and if so it should indicate the WFS/WCS (by a URL prefix) and the feature/coverage types. Note that it is perfectly valid for a named layer not to be describable in this way.
SYMBOLOGY
Raster image fill type:
- This new symbol layer type allows for filling polygons with a (tiled) raster image.
- Options include (data defined) file name, opacity, image size (in pixels, mm or map units), coordinate mode (feature or view), and rotation.
Live heatmap renderer:
- The new heatmap vector layer renderer allows for live, dynamic heatmaps for point layers.
- Options include specifying heatmap radius in pixels, mm or map units, choice of color ramp,weighting points by field, and a slider for selecting a tradeoff between render speed and quality.
Multiple styles per layer:
- It is now possible to set multiple styles for a layer and then easily toggle between them. This functionality is available in the legend context menu --> styles sub-menu where it is possible to add/remove styles and quickly switch between them. Layer sets remember styles, and different styles can also be applied to individual composer map items. The multiple styles defined are also available when the project is served via QGIS Server as a WMS layer. For more information on this see also this blog post.
- This feature was developed by: Gis3W, Lutra Consulting
More data-defined symbology settings:
- The user interface for data defined symbology settings has been improved - moving the data defined option next to each data definable property (in keeping with other parts of QGIS such as the labeling properties). Also many new properties have been made data definable for symbology. This user interface improvement also provides a way to immediately see if a data defined override is defined as well as easier access to the data-defined settings.
DXF export - improve marker symbol export:
- The exporter functionality for DXF files has been improved, with better fidelity of exported marker symbols to the original QGIS symbology.
- Feature: Map rotation in canvas, improved rotation in composer
- This release includes preliminary support for rotation in the map canvas. You can rotate the canvas using the new rotation widget in the status bar. Rotation support has been extended into the map composer too so that it correctly handles labelling and symbology, etc.
USER INTERFACE
Improved/consistent projection selection:
- All dialogs now use a consistent projection selection widget, which allows for quickly selecting from recently used and standard project/QGIS projections.
