    99=== What's new in a nutshell ===
    1010
    11 After almost 1 year of development the **new stable release GRASS GIS 7.4** is available. Efforts have concentrated on making the user experience even better, providing many new useful additional functionalities to modules and further improving the graphical user interface. Several modules were migrated from addons to the core GRASS GIS package and the suite of tools for ortho-rectification was reimplemented in the new GRASS 7 GUI style. In order to support the treatment of massive datasets, new compression algorithms were introduced and NULL files are now also compressed by default.

    112112In the past year of development, there were several changes in different GRASS GIS libraries. The most relavant changes are described below:
    113  * In the libraster there is now NULL file compression by default and longitude wrapping has been fixed for lat/lon locations
    114  * The temporal framework has now support for spatial topological operators to the temporal algebra, several tests were added as well as a new function to convert granularity to a smaller granularity, and raster region specific parallel processing has been enabled by means of the !MultiModule new class in PyGRASS.

    115115 * libproj now provides improved integration of GDAL and streamlining of spatial reference system handling with better support for US datums, as well as new functions (GPJ_grass_to_wkt2 and GPJ_grass_to_osr2).
    116116 * libgis has received several major and minor enhancements. There are new functions such as G_adjust_window_ll to automatically fix lat-lon errors and the lat-lon restrictions when reading DMS coords were relaxed. On the other hand, G_window_percentage_overlap now accounts for N == S or E == W. The function G_compare_projections has an enhanced ellipsoid check. Moreover, BZIP2 compression has been improved for speed and support for HTML/CSS hash hexadecimal colors has been added in G_str_to_color.
    117  * GRASS GIS now support global datasets which slightly exceed -180..+180, -90..+90
