The GRASS GIS 7.2.0RC1 release provides '''more than XXX fixes and improvements''' with respect to GRASS GIS 7.2.0. ==== New modules ==== * G72:d.frame - Manages display frames on the user's graphics monitor. * G72:r3.flow - Computes 3D flow lines and 3D flow accumulation. * G72:r3.gradient - Computes gradient of a 3D raster map and outputs gradient components as three 3D raster maps. * G72:t.rast.algebra - Apply temporal and spatial operations on space time raster datasets using temporal raster algebra. * G72:t.rast3d.algebra - Apply temporal and spatial operations on space time 3D raster datasets using temporal 3D raster algebra. * G72:t.rast.contour - Produces a space time vector dataset of specified contours from a space time raster dataset. * G72:t.rast.to.vect - Converts a space time raster dataset into a space time vector dataset. * G72:t.rast.what - Sample a space time raster dataset at specific vector point coordinates and write the output to stdout using different layouts. * G72:t.vect.algebra - Apply temporal and spatial oeprations on space time vector datasets using temporal vector algebra. * G72:v.decimate - Decimates a point cloud. * G72:g.gui.datacatalog - The Data Catalog is a wxGUI component for browsing, modifying and managing GRASS maps. * G72:d.legend.vect - Displays a vector legend in the active graphics frame. ==== Major module changes ==== * G72:r.in.lidar - base_raster option which allows for the conversion to LAS file Z values to height above ground using an existing elevation raster, -j option which allows the use of Z values for filtering of points, yet performs statistical analysis on the intensity values * ... ==== Minor module changes ==== * ... ==== GUI changes ==== * G7:wxGUI + G7:d.mon: new multi-threaded implementation ==== PyGRASS changes ==== * pygrass: ... ==== Library changes ==== * libraster: support for new raster data compression methods: NONE, ZLIB, LZ4, BZIP2. Overview: * Raster map compression set by `export GRASS_COMPRESSOR=XXX`, with XXX be * `NONE` (uncompressed) * `RLE` (generic Run-Length Encoding of single bytes) * `ZLIB` (DEFLATE, good speed and compression) * with zlib compression levels (`export GRASS_ZLIB_LEVEL=X`): -1..9 (-1 is default which is level 6) * Notes: ZLIB level = 0 tells ZLIB to copy the data as-is from source to destination. In case of CELL maps, the rasterlib itself will then still trim high zero bytes with trim_bytes() which can already reduce the data size considerably, but ZLIB will not compress the data. * `LZ4` (fastest, low compression) * `BZIP2` (slowest, high compression) * NULL file compression: At time it must be explicitly turned on with `export GRASS_COMPRESS_NULLS=1` ==== Map projection changes ==== * ... ==== Portability changes ==== * ... ===== MS Windows ===== * ... ==== Manual pages ==== * New [https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/graphical_index.html Graphical index of functionality] ==== Message translation updates ==== * ... === Closed tickets === ==== Closed bugs since the last release ==== [[TicketQuery(status=closed&milestone=7.2.0&type=defect&order=priority)]] ==== Closed wishes since the last release ==== [[TicketQuery(status=closed&milestone=7.2.0&type=enhancement&order=priority)]] ==== Closed tasks since the last release ==== [[TicketQuery(status=closed&milestone=7.2.0&type=task&order=priority)]]
