Enhancements:

  • r.out.gdal region sensitive (backport new r.out.gdal from CVS HEAD?)
-- We can just take enhanced shell version from CVS HEAD (r.out.gdal.sh) --Jachym 10:00, 12 March 2007 (CET)
-- IMO r.out.gdal should remain shell script version in 6.2.x, but be updated to be the most modern version of that we have. Leave the C version to 6.3+. --Hamish, 23 Apr 2007
