GRASS 8 planning: ideas

For now just a brainstorming zone...

Raster library

• organization of raster file storage layout: have one raster folder per map like for vector data or raster3D
• maintain history as for vector maps
• keep track of opened raster maps
• Storage in tiles instead of by row (See Grass7/RasterLib)
• Merge NULL file into main data array (See Grass7/RasterLib)
• save more raster metadata like number of non-null cells, mean and stddev (see GDAL)

Vector library

• keep track of opened vector maps
• keep track of dblinks to not remove table connected to multiple vector maps
• get rid of dbf as database backend
• ...

Python library

• remove deprecated Python functions: ​https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/67669
