GRASS 6.2.x feature plan

There is the 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

In general 6.2 does not deviate too much from the 6.1.0 to avoid a major delay.

TODOs

  • unlimited number of raster map (r.patch, r.series etc) (Glynn)
  • several MinGW fixes for native MS-Windows support (Glynn)
  • several fixes for MS-Windows/Cygwin support (Huidae)
  • no hardcoded ARCH for Python-SWIG (Markus)
  • vector/lidar: added missing includes (Markus)
  • g.region b>t bug fixed (Martin)
  • GRASS_PAGER (Glynn)
  • r.mapcalc rand() (Glynn)
  • tcl i18n install fix (Markus)
  • LOCALE awk fixes to some scripts (Markus)
  • SUN compilation fixes (Glynn)
  • user docs fixes (Maciek)
  • r.bilinear: Read/write maps as DCELL; Remove +0.5 from result (Glynn)
  • NVIZ height update to avoid scene jump (Bob)
  • Add the new v.lidar.* tools (needed for FOSS4G2006) (Roberto A. + Markus)
  • lidar and simwe compilation issues on MacOSX fixed (William)
  • Makefile cleanup for extra libraries (lidar, simwe, lrs) (Glynn + Markus)
  • keywords backported from 6.3-CVS (Markus)
  • renamed dbmi driver html files to include 'grass-' to avoid package conflicts (Markus)

Beta 1:

  • v.digit: split icons into two rows for 800x600 screens (backport) (Michael, Hamish)
  • gis.m fixes (Michael)
  • v.proj: treat z as ellipsoidal height (Paul)

Beta 2:

  • g.proj compile fix (Markus)
  • NVIZ: Tk8.5 fix (Markus)

Beta 3:

  • docs improvements (Eric, Trevor, Moritz, Michael)
  • v.digit cosmetics (Hamish)
  • v.outlier: parameter fix
  • NVIZ: off-screen rendering fix for broken openGL drivers
  • grass-xterm-wrapper: simplified for broken gnome-terminal

  • write impressive press release (best in CVS Web)

WONTFIX? Later?

  • r.out.gdal region sensitive
  • NVIZ volume problem (test with slovakia3d dataset) - sometimes it works

Ideas

  • do the proposed bug day soon (in August '06)

Releases

  • Source code Snapshot
  • 6.2.0beta1 release 28 August 2006
  • 6.2.0beta2 release 30 August 2006
  • 6.2.0RC1 release 2 September 2006
  • It would be great to have it available for the FOSS4G2006 conference in September (so, >= 5th September).
