Project: QGIS

Version: 2.10.0

Feature: Support for tolerance parameter in WMS GetFeatureInfo requests

When using WMS layers served by QGIS Server, you can now specify the tolerance for how far from the click origin GetFeatureInfo requests should be considered. This is important for mobile devices where it is harder to exactly point to features. Before this new feature, it was practically impossible to identify point or line features on a mobile device with QGIS server. You can add the following parameters to your GetFeatureInfo requests:

FI_POINT_TOLERANCE=16&FI_LINE_TOLERANCE=8&FI_POLYGON_TOLERANCE=4

and change the tolerance values (in pixels) to suit your needs.
