• G72:i.zc: correctly read the threshold value, set to 1 by default and divided by 100 internally
• G72:r.resamp.stats: added support of range, count and diversity
• G72:r.resamp.stats: Introduce also other stats methods to resampling module to better match r.neigbors offer
• G72:r.timestamp: typo in the manual
• G72:r.topmodel: Fix cumulative infiltration
• G72:r.to.vect: Call the DB error handler before the vector handler to avoid busy database warnings
• G72:r.what: fix segfault when using -r and outside of region
• G72:t.list: only relative time strds reported when using output option
• G72:v.build.polylines: Activate the cats=same option; Remove compile warnings
• G72:v.db.addtable: Check for duplicate column names
• G72:v.distance: Define default column names for -p; Don't create (0,0) points where no nearest points are found; Update the manual; column= & -p are mutually exclusive
• G72:v.edit: Fix the default threshold distance; fix snapping to Background Map
• G72:v.external: fix check_projection() when input is PG datasource (and native GRASS PostGIS reader is used)
• G72:v.external: fix dsn handling (full / db-login-based connection strings)
• G72:v.external.out: SRID lost when not exactly defined
• G72:v.import: move testing if the data are of the same CRS before creating temporary location
• G72:v.out.ogr: Append mode broken in G 7.2.1svn and 7.3
• G72:v.out.postgis doesn't export attribute table (see #2460)
• G72:v.out.postgis: fix type option (closes #2460)

• G72:v.patch: build topology after appending
• G72:v.proj: add no topology flag
• G72:v.select: Avoid database warnings when no features are selected and copy an empty table
• G72:v.to.db: Don't throw a fatal error when there are no features
• G72:v.to.points: Don't interpolate for use=node according to the manual
• G72:v.to.rast: fix description of option use=dir to not limit it to flow, add better example with picture to manual
• G72:v.what: Fix the default distance threshold
• G72:v.what.rast: segfault with map without topology

GUI changes

• wxGUI: 'Align computation region to selected map' add to the layer menu
• wxGUI: do not re-render whole map composition when show/hide comp. region extent
• wxGUI/location wizard simplification: decrease number of dialogues shown by default
