 GRASS GIS 7.6 graphical user interface now displays the computational region extent by default in the Map Display window. This simple new feature allows to always visualize such an important basic concept in GRASS GIS and makes it a lot easier for newcomers. Moreover, a new widget has been implemented for commands including an SQL WHERE parameter to ease selection of features/data.

 Many fixes were aimed to enhance compatibility with wxPython 4. The data catalog, the graphical modeler and the startup have also received many improvements in this new major GRASS GIS release.

 This new GRASS GIS release comes with 3 new dedicated raster modules. The first one, G76:r.path, can be used to trace paths from different starting points following input directions, such as the outputs of G76:r.cost, G76:r.walk or G76:r.watershed, among others. The second one, G76:r.buildvrt, provides the very useful functionality of creating virtual raster (VRT) mosaics from a list of input raster maps. This is very useful when the original data are available in tiles which can now be virtually mosaiked to a single map without overhead for easier analysis. G76:r.buildvrt hence allows processing big areas while avoiding the creation of physical maps, especially useful when space is limited. ​Finally, there is now G76:r.mapcalc.simple, a tool to calculate a new raster map from a simple r.mapcalc expression.

 Among these new extensions there is a set of new addons to import and pre-process Copernicus Sentinel 2 imagery: G7A:i.sentinel.preproc and G7A:i.sentinel.mask. These two modules which add up to the existant G7A:i.sentinel.download and G7A:i.sentinel.import, were contributed by a student under [https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2018 Google Summer of Code 2018] program. With all these Sentinel related modules GRASS GIS provides now the possibility to create full workflows that include download, import, atmospheric correction and cloud masking of Sentinel 2 imagery. Additional imagery addons include, G7A:i.pysptools.unmix for extracting endmembers and spectral unmixing using [https://pysptools.sourceforge.io/ pysptools] and a set of [https://grass.osgeo.org/grass7/manuals/addons/i.signature.list.html i.signature] tools to list, copy and remove signature files. Moreover, a new set of addons for artificial neural networks was also initially developed, G7A:i.ann.maskrcnn, to perform supervised classification using convolutional neural networks.
