Project: QGIS

Version: 2.2.0

Feature: Atlas enhancements

You can now preview the individual pages of the map atlas that will be generated in composer. While in atlas preview mode you can output the current page without outputting the entire atlas. You can also tweak the map extent or scale for each feature while previewing the atlas page. Atlas map settings have been moved from the atlas panel to the map properties panel, so now more than one map can be controlled by the atlas generation. There's a new option to automatically centre an overview map, which comes in handy when creating atlas based maps.
More context information is now available so that you can adjust your symbology based on whether the feature is the current atlas feature or not. See this article for more info.
