'''Between 6.4.1RC2 and the current 6.4.1 more than 20 updates have been applied.''' ==== New modules ==== * v.in.lines: Creates a lines vector map from an ASCII x,y points file. * r.colors.out: Exports the color table associated with a raster map. * r.li.pielou: new landscape fragmentation index * r.li.reny: new landscape fragmentation index ==== Major module changes ==== * i.ortho.photo: several resampling methods implemented; artifacts removed; command line support added; photo.* commands renamed to i.photo.* * r.kappa: error matrix had the rows/columns labels reverted * r.proj: fix off by half pixel * v.out.ogr: also export attributes if multiple features share the same cat * v.select: added support for new GEOS operators ==== Minor module changes ==== * d.vect: Ability to take per-feature symbol size and rotation from attribute columns (#600) * i.atcorr: AVNIR and IKONOS sensors added (some filter function fixes yet pending); added sensors' raw CSV data * g.mapsets: sort list (-l) output * g.extension: fixes and support for install system-wide * g.transform: add new options to dump coefficients and transform arbitrary points, both fwd and reverse * r.distance: output correct precision for different projection types (bugs #654 and #335) * r.info: export floats with correct precision (trac #335) * r.in.gdal: flag to force the import of lat/lon imagery which is missing georef * r.neighbors: Gaussian and range method * r.out.arc: flag added to refer to cell center in header * r.out.ascii: output correct precision for different projection types (bugs #654 and #335) * r.out.png: Worldfile and transparency flags added for use with KML/web tiles * r.param.scale: write more metadata * r.proj: add flags to print source map region, simplifying workflow; cache fix; fix segfault when mapset is not given, be less verbose * r.random: improve metadata writing; -b flag added to avoid generating vector topology * r.series: threshold and quantiles * r.stats: output correct precision for different projection types (bugs #654 and #335) * r.statistics: attempt to fix bug #1090 * v.db.select: optional file output added * v.db.dropcol: recreate the index on the key column of the table * v.edit: set up default DB if it doesn't exist * v.generalize: do not crash, give out of memory informational messages * v.in.ascii: accept D:M:S coords in standard mode * v.in.ogr: faster polygon import, cleaner and smaller output * v.info: topology level 1 support added * v.mkgrid: optional line support added * v.split: do not attempt to read dead line * v.surf.rst: z-coordinate and zcol support * v.to.db: line azimuth support * v.transform: fix dim of output vector map * v.univar: added optional geometry distances instead of table data * v.vol.rst: new npmax parameter added * v.voronoi: much less memory, a bit faster * v.what: shell script style output added ==== Library changes ==== * cairo driver fixes * dglib: graph library cache activated * gis/raster: Fix bugs in reclassed_to handling * pythonlib: improved * PNG driver: Use 64-byte header to ensure frame buffer alignment (bug #937) * RST interpolation library: running out of memory problem fix * vlib: normalize path for Windows ==== GUI changes ==== * Major wxGUI update (based on GRASS 6.5) - r43911 * Completely rewritten wxGUI Georectifier * Fixed segfault which appears while automated GUI creation (bug #928) * !TclTk startup screen is now more friendly on small screens * gis.m remembers last used directory when saving files * gis.m menus updated to contain some of 6.4.0 new modules * gis.m instances are terminated on exit from GRASS CLI. No more crashes on gis.m exit. * gis.m PS label feature now is usable (bug #819) * gis.m Don't fail on wxGUI broken .grassrc6 file * v.digit fixed mouse wheel handling (#638) * v.digit fixed ability to create single boundary areas (#1255) and not leave lines/boundaries with single node (#1256) * wxGUI: import dialog fixed * wxGUI: fix adding legend/barscale from command prompt * wxGUI: some new icons by Robert Szczepanek * wxGUI: catch error that geodetic distance is currently not yet supported ==== Map projection changes ==== * added Geostationary Satellite View support ==== Portability changes ==== * r.sim.sediment, r.sim.water: fix MacOSX and winGRASS crashes * v.in.garmin, v.in.mapgen: fixes for MacOSX ==== Message translation updates ==== * message catalog updated * Extract NVIZ messages to separate message catalog * Several other language translations improved * German: Helmut Kudrnovsky, Robert Nuske * Chinese: Shulin Yang * Polish: Milena Nowotarska, Maciej Sieczka * Italian: Luca Delucchi, Marco Curreli ==== WinGRASS changes ==== * installer updates * Major update of OSGeo4W environment and support scripts, GRASS compiled against GDAL 1.8 * fix popen function * see closed tickets below === Closed tickets === ==== Closed bugs since the last release ==== [[TicketQuery(status=closed&milestone=6.4.1&type=defect&order=priority)]] ==== Closed wishes since the last release ==== [[TicketQuery(status=closed&milestone=6.4.1&type=enhancement&order=priority)]] ==== Closed tasks since the last release ==== [[TicketQuery(status=closed&milestone=6.4.1&type=task&order=priority)]]
