[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6.4.2 release

Hi,

it's about week since RC3 has been released. It would be nice to
release final 6.4.2 within next few days. We have still one blocker
[1] which is hopefully solved. Anything else need to be solved before
releasing (only urgent issues which have some probability that someone
will fix them)?

Thanks, Martin

it would be good to write up a more formal release
announcement like:
http://grass.osgeo.org/announces/announce_grass641.html
http://grass.osgeo.org/announces/abstract_grass641.txt

usually I'd help with that but I'm just heading off
to sea for a while.

(+ extended errata for things like r.nulls on wingrass if that doesn't get fixed in time)

thanks,
Hamish

I have added initial draft to SVN (basically copy of 6.4.1 text)

Feel free to improve...

I would suggest to postpone final release for few days due to recently
introduced switch from Python 2.5 to 2.7 in OSGeo4W framework.

I would raise discussion about releasing 6.4.2. No blockers reported
[1], no other critical bug reported related to py2.7. I would vote for
releasing 6.4.2 in few next days.

tested a lot wingrass here on my winvista32-box with python 2.7., works
quite nicely and a lot faster than with python 2.5.

+1 for releasing it soon.

everything seems to be working here as well, except for a small issue just found by a student in wingrass
and confirmed in freshly compiled release on mac:

when saving image from map display that includes scale and legend, everything is saved correctly
when the default setting is used,
but when a template (pre-set image size) is used scale and legend either is not included

or it is not scaled properly

This was already reported by Antonio in November:

http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2011-November/062577.html

and

(and following)

However, there never seems to have been a bug report about this.

right it's quite know issue, but not reported AFAIR. I would assume
that it's probable to fix it for 6.4.3 (different wxGUI code base). In
other words it's not blocker for 6.4.2.
