    * Implemented [https://grass.osgeo.org/grass73/manuals/libpython/pygrass.modules.interface.html?highlight=multimodule#pygrass.modules.interface.module.MultiModule MultiModule] class and enabled temporary region environment for multi module runs. This class allows to put multiple modules into the parallel module queue, for example coupled g.region and r.mapcalc calls, that must be run in a specific order but many of these combined calls should run in parallel

  * Regarding EPSG:3857 which uses spherical development of ellipsoidal coordinates: Relative to WGS 84 / World Mercator (EPSG:3395) errors of 0.7 percent in scale and differences in northing of up to 43km in the map (equivalent to 21km on the ground) may arise. This has been fixed in recent GRASS 7.4.0+, providing same results like GDAL.
