I know I'm going to tell you a very _unpopular_ thing, but, in case you have 5 minutes of spare time (yes, it doesn't take longer), open qgit then please press a nice key called 'F1', a nice handbook will appear... I really suggest to look at it. To keep UI 'clean' a lot of features are not immediatly visible, so reading the handbook (at least the chapter's titiles) would give you a better idea of what qgit could do for you. > > I'll get the latest and greatest.

There are a lot of new featrures, is almost as stable as the previous and if you are interested in file history (annotations) in qgit-2.0 this feature has been greatly speeded up. Have fun Marco
