Re: [GRASS-user] Compare GRASS versions
Thanks Markus So the main reason for still supporting GRASS 6.4 is its stability right? For instance, do you plan to launch 6.5 as a end-product? Thanks Jenny 6.4 and 6.5 are rather close, 7 is starting to deviate. 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.

Hi, 2010/4/26 Jenny Turner jennyturner1...@gmail.com: Thanks Markus So the main reason for still supporting GRASS 6.4 is its stability right? For instance, do you plan to launch 6.5 as a end-product? I think that GRASS 6.5 probably will be released (as technical preview) - some enhancements, and mainly improved wxGUI. wxGUI in 6.4 is frozen for few months, wxGUI from 6.5 is still synchronized with GRASS 7.0 wxGUI. But it doesn't mean that there will be 6.6 as stable version. The related question is when GRASS 7.0 will be out (one/two years?)

Jenny: So the main reason for still supporting GRASS 6.4 is its stability right? still? we haven't even released it yet! :) For instance, do you plan to launch 6.5 as a end-product? Martin: I think that GRASS 6.5 probably will be released (as technical preview) At this time my 2c would rather discourage considering that for another year. (fwiw I am not very excited about releasing binary snapshots of the development versions either) - some enhancements, and mainly improved wxGUI. wxGUI in 6.4 is frozen for few months, wxGUI from 6.5 is still synchronized with GRASS 7.0 wxGUI. so let's backport the best of the updated GUI for 6.4.1 ... although I am not at all in favour of backporting changes en masse. But it doesn't mean that there will be 6.6 as stable version. The related question is when GRASS 7.0 will be out (one/two years?) please let's concentrate our efforts on 1 very stable version, 1 development version, and 1 backporting sandbox for testing. otherwise new development effort remains unfocused and slow and grass 7.0 takes 2 years instead of 2 years. cheers, Hamish ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
