 First, let's focus on the first important utility, and that is the Location Wizard. This guide for creating a new location has changed quite a lot. The first page has been streamlined and somewhat misleading names of the individual attributes have also been changed. Similarly, the next page, originally named "Choose method for creating a new location", is now much more clearly defined with the new name "Select Coordinate Reference System (CRS)". CRS can be newly specified using WKT string. However, the biggest change has affected the page with the original name "Choose EPSG Code", now "Select CRS from list". This window newly supports dynamic search as well as a hyperlink to EPSG pages which changes dynamically according to the filter set by the user.
 
-The second thing I focused on throughout July and August was the Data Catalog. For this tool, it was necessary to take over all the functionality of the canceled Startup screen. I would like to emphasize here the most important functionalities that were coded.

-The data catalog now supports the addition of multiple databases. These databases can be deleted from the tree or deleted directly from the disk. The Data Catalog also supports the creation, renaming, and deletion of mapsets and locations. Among other things, it also supports deleting several mapsets and several locations. Several icons have also been added for easy manipulation.

Among other things, it also supports deleting several mapsets and several locations. Several icons have also been added for easy manipulation.
 Another important thing that has been addressed is the distinguishing of mapsets. In the Data Catalog, mapsets owned by a different user are now grayed out as well as mapsets that are "in use". These cases were also considered when renaming/deleting, therefore several checks were performed.
 When switching mapsets, it is possible to remove gislock (make available the mapset which is "in use"). The term gislock is no longer confused with the lock icon in the context menu, which allows or restricts editing outside the current mapset and which now has the character of an editing pencil.
