[[TOC]]

 * '''Release scope:''' new display architecture, new raster library, new features such as temporal data handling...
 * The SVN trunk corresponds to GRASS 7 (for access, see [wiki:DownloadSource#GRASS7.0 here])
 * http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_7_ideas_collection (to be merged into trac)

== Already implemented ==

 * [wiki:Grass7/NewFeatures New features in version 7.0] (already implemented)
 * [wiki:Grass7/G3dLib 3D raster library and modules in version 7] (finished)
 * [http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/temporalintro.html Introduction of temporal modules] | [http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/temporal.html Available temporal modules] | [http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Temporal_data_processing Tutorials] (user contributed content)
 * [wiki:Grass7/NewFeatures72 New features in version 7.2]
 * [wiki:Grass7/NewFeatures74 New features in version 7.4]


== Planning & ongoing ==

Source code changes:
 * [wiki:Grass7/DisplayLib Display library in GRASS 7] (planning & ongoing)
 * [wiki:Grass7/RasterLib Raster library in GRASS 7] (planning & ongoing)
 * [wiki:Grass7/VectorLib Vector library in GRASS 7] (planning & ongoing)

   * [wiki:Grass7/TemporalGISAlgebra Temporal GIS Algebra for Raster and Vector Data] GSoC project 2013

Documentation
 * ~~Use Sphinx for Python API (complete?)~~ (done)
 * Documentation: update HTML manual pages to more recent technology (see examples by Vaclav Petras) and #151

=== Trunk ===

 * NULL compression, make default ~~~and backport to 7.0 for compatibility~~~
 * RLE/DEFLATE/LZ4 compression: #2750: LZ4 when writing raster rows; better than double I/O bound r.mapcalc speed
 * r.mapcalc / !r3.mapcalc: new variables to access current region dimensions in cells (nrows, ncols, ndepths) (r67664)










=== 7.2.2 (to be backported) ===

* vector modules: Added layer specific database information to v.info extended metadata flag: r69535
* v.what.strds: add capabilities to use names also for temporal dataset with minutes and seconds granularity: r69331
* v.in.lidar: r70134
* d.linegraph: a series of improvements, see https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/log/grass/trunk/display/d.linegraph/main.c
* ~~i.atcorr: Sentinel-2A r70161 (Test feedback in ML needed first)~~
* r.grow.distance: clean up after r68611: r69327
* r.in.lidar: Storage type
* r.in.xyz: unify keywords and method descriptions with r.in.lidar (r68596): r68600
* lib/python/temporal: major differences to be checked TODO
* r.mapcalc GUI: Expose all r.mapcalc functions and variables in GUI: r70796
* r.mapcalc GUI: Pass expression via parameter: r70797
* r.mapcalc GUI: Provide a map selector for the new map: r70798
* r.in.srtm: Print an error instead of failing in a XY location: r70819
* v.in.wfs: Print error on a network problem: r70823
* symbols: remove rendering artifact in corners: r70799, r70898
* wxGUI workspace (r70531, r70545)
* r.mode color table (r70468)

=== 7.2.3 (to be backported) ===
== Blockers ==

[[TicketQuery(status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=type&order=priority&priority=blocker&milestone=7.0.4)]]

== Critical issues ==

[[TicketQuery(status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=type&order=priority&priority=critical&milestone=7.0.4)]]

handpicked issues:

 * #2456: read CSV from GDAL data directory

== Further issues ==

 * Open bugs concerning [/report/19 GRASS 7]
 * [query:status!=closed&type=enhancement&order=id&desc=1,compact List Open Enhancement Requests]

== Addon candidate to be moved to trunk ==

Interesting:
 * G7A:r.geomorphon
 * G7A:v.clip - very easy to use and expected GIS functionality without hassle of complicated commmands :-)
 * G7A:v.profile - expected GIS functionality

Maybe, if stable enough
 * G7A:v.concave.hull
 * G7A:v.kriging
== General strategy ==

... regular publication of stability releases:

7.0.x ... 7.0.1 ... 7.0.0:
 * all released, see [wiki:Release]
