=== Overview of changes ===

A series of stability fixes, manual improvements and a few language translations have been added.

The GRASS GIS 7.0.2 release provides '''more than 190 fixes and improvements''' with respect to GRASS GIS 7.0.1.

==== New modules ====

 * G70:r.import - Imports raster data into a GRASS raster map using GDAL library and reprojects on the fly. 
 * G70:v.import - Imports vector data into a GRASS vector map using OGR library and reprojects on the fly. 

==== Major module changes ====

 * G70:i.modis.qc: sync to trunk for various bugfixes
 * G70:v.buffer: implement -c -s flags also for GEOS; explain corners (caps) with screenshots

==== Minor module changes ====

 * G70:db.in.ogr: fix when DB connection is not defined
 * G70:g.proj: fix compilation issue when OGR is disabled
 * G70:r.in.gdal: add -j flag to perform projection check only (used by r.import) (r65911, fixes r66466)
 * G70:r.patch: call Rast_cell_size just once, not for every cell (backport r64877 and part of 66449)
 * G70:r.unpack/v.unpack: fix importing to xy location, see #2726
 * G70:t.shift: fixed wrong type in t.shift
 * temporal library: Ignore the warning of missing mapset ownership
 * temporal modules (t.*): Fixed usage of the 'z' flag; inform user then -z flag is switched on (much slower then) (trunk, r66319 + r66341)
 * G70:v.distance: tell user if input is 3D (esp. relevant for v.what.vect)
 * G70:v.in.ogr: wrong projection check when importing geometry column from table with multiple geometry columns (#2740)
 * G70:v.kernel: always show target raster resolution; fix dangling curly braces -Wdangling-else
 * G70:v.krige: updated to rgrass7 - sync to trunk (contributed by pvanbosgeo)
 * G70:v.pack: also package PROJ_EPSG if available (as available in newer locations)
 * G70:v.unpack: fix unpacking when name of archive and the packed map differ (merge from trunk, r66021)

 * wxGUI: add waiting cursor for histogram +scatter wxplot tools
 * wxGUI: add r.import and v.import to menu
 * wxGUI: fix import order so that GUI doesn't crash when there is a problem with ctypes (merge from trunk, r66065)
 * wxGUI: fix GDALImport dialog to add multiple imported layers to layer manager; update onDone methods to pass event as argument (merge from trunk, r64372 and r64373) 
 * wxGUI/vnet: fix known problem with !StaticBoxes on Mac (merge from trunk, r66497)
 * wxGUI/vdigit: fix attribute dialog blocking window on MacOSX with wxpython 3 (merge from trunk, r65606)
