Greetings
I'm preparing a small GIS tool to High School students to do some image
processing, image vizualization etc and I'm thinking of using GRASS since is
free and pretty much do what I need. But I realized that 6.4, 6.5 and 7 have
different characteristics, functionalities.
6.4 and 6.5 are rather close, 7 is starting to deviate.
Also, don't ignore the option of QGIS. With the GRASS plugin you can do
quite a lot, and it's easier and quicker to get started and visualize
results.
The ready made QGIS installations usually include GRASS 6.4
What I need to know is if there
is any document that compares and assesses these 3 versions in order to
characterizes each one.
To my knowledge there is none. The Wiki would be the right place to
start it.
For instance GRASS6.5 is able to have dynamic
wxpython scripts (e.g. v.krige) that is an interesting funcionality.
Yes - but for stability reasons (in case you need it in production), you
may consider 6.4. If functionality is missing and available in later
versions, it could be discussed to backport it for 6.4.1 if not too
complicated. Otherwise, take the next higher version number.
