Overview of changes
Key improvements of this release include some new functionality (assistance for topologically unclean vector data), fixes in the vector network modules, fixes for the wxPython based portable graphical interface (attribute table management, wxNVIZ, and Cartographic Composer), fixes in the location wizard for Datum transform selection and support for PROJ.4 version 4.8.0, improvements for selecting the Python version to be used, enhanced portability for MS-Windows (native support, fixes in case of missing system DLLs), and more translations (esp. Romanian).
Between 6.4.2 and 6.4.3RC3 675 updates were applied. Between 6.4.3RC3 and the current 6.4.3RC4 135 updates have been applied.
See also the GRASS 6.4.3RC1, GRASS 6.4.3RC2, and GRASS 6.4.3RC3 release notes.
New modules
- none
Major module changes
- v.in.ogr: Detect if unclean import data needs to have nodes snapped closed, and suggest a suitable distance threshold
(see also closed tickets below)
Minor module changes
- d.grid: Fix geodesic grid overlay text label placement for longitude
- g.extension: Continuing improvements and robustness
- i.spectral: Bug fix for imagery groups and plotting improvements
- r.li.setup: Fix for mouse-based masked area selection
- r.in.bin: Fix large file (>2GB) support on 32-bit systems
- r.mask: Fix for floating point input maps
- v.to.rast: Avoid crash when map names are very long
A few more minor changes; see the detailed ChangeLog
(see also closed tickets below)
GUI changes
- wxGUI: Many corner-case traceback errors caught and fixed (especially wxNVIZ and Cartographic Composer)
- wxGUI: Fix module startup for tasks which need an Xterm or Xmonitor
- wxGUI: Avoid file compression for live display window to lighten processor load
- wxGUI: Recover cleanly if
r.in.wms
support program requirements are not met - wxGUI/attribute table: Avoid error when the vector map's text data contained a pipe (|)
- wxGUI: More GUI sections for various dialogs
(see also closed tickets below)
Cartography changes
- A dozen new north arrows and symbols
- ps.map: Additional full-RGB spectrum support
Library changes
- Support for a wider array of FFmpeg versions
- Fix vector network node costs
- Updated Autoconf build helper libraries
- Rendering: Add support for Cairo version 1.10
(see also closed tickets below)
Map projection changes
- wxGUI/location wizard: Show +proj terms when taking projection data from georeferenced data file or WKT .prj file
- wxGUI/location wizard: Datum transform selection support fixes; support for PROJ.4 version 4.8.0
Portability changes
(MS-Windows)
Cmd.exe
replacesRxvt
as the terminal for the MSys UNIX shell startup method- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable package available as a user selectable option in the installer
- Uses GRASS's bundled
python.exe
instead of the system's version by default to avoid mismatch in the GUI startup - Fix
d.rast.edit
when called from the wxGUI without specifying an optional aspect map - "--more--" now works as the pager
- r.in.wms: A number of fixes and safeguards added
- Tcl/Tk GIS.m: Don't corrupt the rc file if GISDBASE contains a drive letter
- Shell scripts: Fix support for UNIX scripts called from within other scripts
- Avoid path corruption blocking Addon modules from working
- wxGUI/Cartographic composer: Fix preview screen and add support for direct creation of PDF output
(Mac OSX)
- Improved support for newer versions of OS X
Message translation updates
- Message string improvements
- Romanian translation started (wxGUI completed)
Known issues
- Open tickets
- WinGRASS issues (collaborative wiki)
- wxPython 2.9* is not yet supported. (* this version of wx is still in development at time of release)
- m.proj (and so r.in.wms) on MS Windows: Fails if the location uses a datum transform grid and GRASS is installed in a directory with spaces in the path name.
