Hi,
I have packaged 6.2.0beta3... please test. Due to the significant
gis.m fixes I didn't call it RC1 yet. The shortened change list
is at

and the source code at

Markus,
I'm currently using GRASS 6.1 for daily tasks at work. However, I recently installed GRASS 6.3 at home on my Mac, which, at first blush, seems to work fine. My question is this: should I go ahead and push the envelope and use 6.2 or 6.3 at work as well? What are the risks; am I going to be missing any important features not yet implemented? I understand, of course, that 6.2 and 6.3 are under development and have a greater likelihood of having bugs, but beyond that, what do you think?

6.1 is now obsolete.
The 6.2 branch is heading for a release so "should" be bug free. Please
everybody who isn't developing new 6.3 features use & test this version!
A good solid release (& importantly the reputation of the project)
requires that 6.2.0 be as well tested and bug-free as possible.
6.3 is now open for "radical" changes, so use at your own risk. (but if
history serves, it should be pretty good). For now I suggest only use
6.3 if you need a brand new missing feature (such as native MS Win), or
are developing specifically for it.
thanks,
Hamish
