Since FOSS4G 2015, two new QGIS versions have been released. At the time of the FOSS4G 2016, it will even be three new releases. This presentation shows some highlights out of the huge number of new features. For instance the labeling system received a number of enhancements which might not be obvious for users by just looking at the GUI. Another major improvement is the new authentication system in QGIS 2.12. In the area of cartography, there is the new 2.5d renderer, which allows the display of 3D-like visual effects. And the release of 2.16 end of June 2016 will bring some other hightlights for sure.
