72 | | * While the GRASS libraries and modules are typically extremely well tested and stable, this new Windows install package is not. Because we are very confident in the underlying GIS code we hope that any problems due to the new Windows packaging efforts will be superficial and quickly resolved. You can help this process by reporting bugs: if it seems to be the fault of the installer report bugs to the [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/report OSGeo4W bug tracker], if it seems to be the fault of GRASS, report bugs to the [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/report GRASS bug tracker]. You will need to create yourself an [http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid/ OSGeo ID] to submit and comment on bugs. Bugs don't get fixed unless people point them out! It is expected that some issues related to spaces in the path names still exist, but we hope to have found most of these by now. Also it is likely that the wxPython GUI still has some gremlins in it, please help us find and fix them by reporting any errors you come across! Typically once found they are easy to fix. You can help to find spaces-in-the-path bugs by installing OSGeo4W into "`Program Files\OSGeo4W`" and setting the GRASS data directory to "`Documents and Settings\username`". |
