Project: QGIS

Version: 3.24

Feature: Full text rendering capabilities for layout text labels

In older QGIS releases you had to revert to hacky tricks like using HTML and CSS to add effects like drop shadows to text in your map layouts. Hack no more! In 3.24 we now allow you to use the familiar properties from the labeling text options for text on layouts too! This means you can now add shadows, text buffers, backgrounds, letter and word spacing, etc. all on the text items in your layouts.
