Project: QGIS

Version: 2.8.0

Feature: 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.
