qGIS 0.8 Preview 1

And speaking of GIS on a Mac: Quantum GIS (qGIS) 0.8 Preview 1 is out. I haven’t done much with it yet. It crashed when I loaded a local shapefile, but it worked fine loading GRASS vector data (from Spearfish, loaded from within a GRASS session). It’s pre-1.0 and a preview at that, but go get it and beat it up a little. It’s the only way to make it better, and it’s still probably the best candidate for point/click GIS on a Mac system (uh, one that’s not running Windows, I mean).
