Releases

Graphical User Interface

GRASS GIS 7.4 graphical user interface comes with a new ....

  • Data Catalog (available in the Data tab) can now move and copy data between mapsets and locations, reproject rasters and vectors. This can be performed using right mouse click or drag and drop.
  • Show computational region function is now available also from menu Settings > Computational region > Show current region extent in Map Display.
  • Selected sample locations can be now downloaded from the Startup windows using a Download button next to location selection.
  • The GRASS GIS Spatial Database Directory is now automatically filled (if available on disk) when user starts GRASS GIS for the first time.
  • Access errors for creating location are now shown in the GUI instead of a traceback in the command line.
  • Map Display title is now more readable and says GRASS GIS Map Display: name - location/mapset.
  • Simple Python Editor is now available from the File menu.

Modules (commands)

A series of new modules has been added and many improved.

Display modules

  • ...

General modules

New:

  • G74:...

Improved:

  • G7:g.proj: When a new location is created from vector data, use the default region s=0 n=1 w=0 e=1 res=1 to avoid potentially invalid region settings (r71491)

Raster modules

New:

  • fixed longitude wrapping for lat/lon locations
  • support import of raster maps exceeding 90N or 90S or with an EW extent larger than 360 degrees
  • lat/lon: automatically fix floating point precision errors in the grid geometry of imported raster maps created with GIS software that uses limited floating point precision (common problem).
  • ...

Improved:

  • G7:r.clump: fuzzy clumping, multispectral clumping, minimum clump size
  • ...

Raster3D modules

New:

  • ...

Vector modules

New:

  • ...

Improved

Imagery modules

New:

Temporal GIS modules

Scripting

New:

User Manuals - Documentation

GRASS 7 Library changes

  • Added spatial topological operators to the temporal algebra (r71369)
  • ...

Source Code Portability

...
