| | 1 | = List of new features in GRASS 7 = |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | == Graphical User Interface == |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | * wxGUI improved (see [http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/wxGUI here]) |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | == Display modules == |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | * old display architecture removed |
| | 10 | * new display architecture based on CAIRO and wxPython |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | == Raster modules == |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | * r.cost faster by orders of magnitude (10x - 100x) |
| | 15 | * r.walk faster by orders of magnitude (10x - 1000x) |
| | 16 | * r.watershed improved from G6.3 to G6.4 to G6.5 to G7: faster, less memory, floating point DEM support, MFD, clean stream extraction from MFD, segmented mode in G7 faster than in G6 by orders of magnitude (segmented mode in G7 only a bit slower than all-in-ram mode of G6.4) |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | == Vector modules == |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | * v.in.ogr faster for polygon-import, cleaner output |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | == Libgis == |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | * WPS support implemented in parser |
| | 25 | * Libraster separated out into own library |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | == Libraster == |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | * Libraster separated out from libgis |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | == Libvector == |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | * Large File Support (LFS) added |
| | 34 | * new spatial index, and spatial index kept in file: faster queries (>10x for large vectors), less memory for opening an existing vector |
| | 35 | * cleaning functions 'break polygons' and 'snap lines' faster, less memory |
