New modules

Major module changes

(see also below for closed bugs)

  • G74:i.atcorr: sync to trunk (updated spectral curves for various satellites; fix band order for Worldview2; addition of Sentinel-2B, improvement of numerical stability
  • G74:v.in.pdal: change API calls to PDAL 1.6.0, see #3496 and #2732

Minor module changes

(see also below for closed bugs)

Improvements in the Graphical User Interface

  • Graphical Modeler: print computational time elapsed

wxGUI Graphical Modeler: print computational time elapsed

  • Graphical Modeler: delete intermediate data when computation finished

wxGUI Graphical Modeler: delete intermediate data when computation finished

  • Graphical Modeler: mark data to be displayed

wxGUI Graphical Modeler: mark data to be displayed

  • New SQL where query widget

SQL Where Select Widget

  • G74:wxGUI: fix problem with Python addons not showing up on Windows, see #3177
  • G74:wxGUI: fix d.vect dialog when loading layer without db connection
  • G74:wxGUI: correctly delete layertree, see #3505
  • G74:wxGUI: fix font dialog on mac, #3542
  • wxGUI/dbmgr: improve get values speed
  • G74:g.gui.tplot: resolved problem with stdvs when no categories are set, see #3294
  • wxGUI/preferences: add new option for random colors (vector)
  • wxGUI/datacatalog: zoom to first added map (sync with lmgr behaviour)
  • wxGUI/datacatalog: display layer on double click

Scripting

  • pygrass: add Module support to underscore in parameter's name
  • PyGRASS: Category.init expects map name to be provided (r72227 backport)

Projection support

  • Read EPSG codes with PROJ v.5 fail fixed (#3514)

Library changes

  • init: more messages for invalid location or mapset
  • libgis: more informative messages when (de)compression fails
  • libgis: use G_vasprintf() to avoid buffer overflow
  • Vlib: fix with_z = 0 for Vect_line_check_intersection2() and Vect_line_intersection2(), fixes #3567

User Manuals - Documentation

  • doc: show modules without img in graphical index
  • G74:i.atcorr manual: added example to process Sentinel bands (contributed by Zofie Cimburova); general manual clean-up
  • G74:i.vi: corrected MSAVI2 equation according
  • G74:r.colors manual: decipher 'nv' color
  • G74:r.in.wms manual: some WMS examples updated
  • G74:r.series.accumulate manual: update manual explaining accumulation
  • G74:r.stats.zonal manual: added link to r.stats.quantile
  • G74:t.rast.algebra manual: add NDVI example; use subsections for examples
  • G74:t.rast.algebra manual: formatting fixed + See also section added
  • G74:t.register manual: added example to register vector layers (contributed by Ondrej Pesek) and other minor changes/typos
  • G74:v.select: make it clear that 'overlap' is 'intersects' in GEOS, not 'overlaps'

Portability

  • bump supported Python version to 2.7
  • store grass.appdata.xml under share/metainfo/org.osgeo.grass.appdata.xml
  • G74:r.random.surface: rename variable Surface to RSurface to avoid variable clash with GDAL on EPEL7
