FIX : WMS Editor - Handle Styles properly
ADD : Explicitely add GML to the list of supported format (via GDAL)

CHG : When opening/importing, always fallback to GDAL if available. Allows to open most GDAL supported geomtery files.
ADD : Vector map layers
ADD : Allow "[*] is xxx" (or "*=xxx") construct in tag selection. Means a feature match if any of its tags has xxx as a value (fixes #3146)

CHG : Split Rotation interaction between pure rotation and scale
ADD : When creating a way or area, press "P" to snap the current segment as a parallel of the closest existing segment with the same general direction
