    * comparison tool for temporal datasets;
    * improved vector digitizer.
+ * Major efforts to standardize parameter and flag names for a better user experience:
+   * a few map types have been renamed "rast" -> "raster", "vect" -> "vector", "rast3d" -> "raster_3d"
+   * On command line parameter names can be abbreviated (not in Python scripts)
+   * Old parameter names are still recognized, and the user receives a notification about the respective new parameter name (see also [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures#Optionschanges here]).
