AFAICS, none of the below have tests... Interesting: * G7A:r.object.geometry - +/- equivalent to v.to.db, but for raster objects: very useful for many other modules (notably OBIA) * G7A:r.vect.stats - very simple, but nice functionality to have in core * G7A:v.centerpoint - basic GIS functionality Maybe, if stable enough * G7A:v.concave.hull * G7A:v.kriging == General strategy == ... regular publication of stability releases: 7.0.x ... 7.0.1 ... 7.0.0: * all released, see [wiki:Release] Historical notes * a [source:grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 releasebranch_6_4] branch has been created (for access, see [wiki:DownloadSource#GRASS6.4 here]) - used to release GRASS GIS 6.4.x * a [source:grass/branches/develbranch_6 develbranch_6] branch has been created (for access, see [wiki:DownloadSource#GRASS6.5 here]) - unused since 2015 * [source:grass/trunk/ trunk] has become GRASS 7.1.svn * [source:grass/branches/releasebranch_7_0/ branches/releasebranch_7_0] has become GRASS 7.0.svn * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2008-April/037558.html Announcement] (2008, GRASS 7 development started) * GRASS GIS 6.3.0 has been released from the [source:grass/branches/releasebranch_6_3 releasebranch_6_3] branch == See also == * https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass8Planning [[Image(Grass7-development-svn.png)]]
