A series of stability fixes, manual improvements and a few language translations have been added.

The GRASS GIS 7.2.2 release provides more than 100 fixes and improvements with respect to GRASS GIS 7.2.1.

New modules

• G72:temporal lib: use str not unicode and encode variables resulting from gisenv()
• G72:v.lidar.growing: fix wrong usage of Rast_easting_to_col()

Minor module changes

• G72:i.atcorr: filter functions updated for Rapideye
• G72:r.in.lidar: add input and file rules, G_option_required instead of suppress_required
• G72:r.random: use long long when available
• G72:r.reclass: allow using more than 100 rules
• G72:r.volume: build topology of centroids vector
• G72:v.import: Pass all vopts (especially layer list!) to avoid bogous error messages while importing data
• G72:v.in.lidar: input file is always binary
• G72:v.in.ogr: disable OGR dsn corruption
• G72:v.in.ogr GUI generates invalid layer parameter
• G72:v.in.ogr: account for empty fields even if the field is set (since GDAL 2.2
• G72:v.kernel: fix using mask
• G72:v.lidar.edgedetection+v.lidar.correction: output options not required if -e flag is given
• G72:v.in.ogr: use correct key column name
• G72:v.in.ogr: disable OSM import because it needs a special reading mode (enabled in GRASS GIS 7.3+)
• G72:v.out.ogr: preserve previous attribute export with GDAL 2.2+
• G72:v.out.postgis: do not print build info when exporting simple features

GUI changes

• G72:v.what.vect query_column dropdown button doesn't show attribute columns of query_map
• G72:g.gui.animation: pythonlib: improve GIF export with Pillow through quantization
• wxGUI/Expose all r.mapcalc functions and variables in GUI
• wxGUI/forms: enable to create new directory for G_OPT_M_DIR
• wxGUI/forms: fix UnicodeDecodeError? on loading file when default and file encoding differs
• wxGUI: fix importing vector during location creation when the vector file name does not match the layer name
• wxGUI: make opacity dialog resizable
• wxGUI: remove decorations when creating new workspace
• wxGUI: fix rendering in latlon when resolution is high
• wxGUI: gui_core: fix labels to avoid high CPU usage

PyGRASS changes

• Python ctypesgencore: lexer support added for FLT64X_EPSILON (fixes GCC7 issues)
• Python ctypes: removed builtins import in python2

Library changes

• dglib: fix pointer casting
• libgis: stabilize G_ellipsoid_polygon_area()
• librst: to prevent parallel (really rare) compilation failures, data dir must be processed before qtree

• rasterlib: fix segfault if NULLS are compressed, but not data
• symbols: remove rendering artifact in corners

Map projection changes

• None

Portability changes
