GRASS 6.2.x feature plan

There will be a release branch for 6.2.x, see details at CVS: tags and branches. A release branch is considered as "frozen", only bugfixes can be done.

GRASS 6.2.0

MNs suggestions are:

  • do the proposed bug day soon (in August '06)
  • don't submit changes to CVSA HEAD with heavy impact during this short time
  • End of August '06:
    • create a new branch for 6.2, maintain it for a while
    • rename 6.1-CVS HEAD to 6.3-CVS HEAD to enable developers again to submit complex changes. Maybe a few things can be anticipated from the GRASS 7 ideas_collection (respecting our rules to keep parameters/flags/behaviour as much as possible for the 6.x series)

In general 6.2 should not deviate too much from the current 6.1-CVS HEAD to avoid a major delay.

TODOs

  • unlimited number of raster map (r.patch, r.series etc)
  • several MinGW fixes for native MS-Windows support
  • several fixes for MS-Windows/Cygwin support

  • Add the new v.lidar.* tools (needed for FOSS4G2006)
  • nviz vertical exaggeration (if not fixed in 6.1)
  • write impressive press release (in CVS Web)

Releases

  • It would be great to have it available for the FOSS4G2006 conference in September (so, 5th September).
