[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6.4 GUI

I don’t know what the GRASS 6.4 release schedule, but thought this would be a good time to report on the GUI.

I’ve gone through the TRAC bug list and cleaned up the very few outstanding TclTk bugs. AFAICT, all are fixed, though there may be issues on other platforms that I can’t test. I’ve put out some queries about these. What remains are a few wishes or things that are not sufficiently fixable to be worth the effort.

So this makes the TclTk GUI about as stable as it is going to get unless there are changes to underlying modules that break something.

The wxPython GUI is coming along well, but is still in active development. It’s almost ready for prime time, but not quite. I don’t know whether that is an issue for 6.4 or not.

Hi,

2008/8/16 Michael Barton <michael.barton@asu.edu>:

I don't know what the GRASS 6.4 release schedule, but thought this would be
a good time to report on the GUI.

I think 6.4.0 should be really released till the of the year. I would
suggest to release 6.4.0 first RC in September/October.

Before releasing RC1 we need to create new branch in svn called
releasebranch_6_4. Then we will have for one/two mouths three active
branches (trunk, develbranch_6, and releasebranch_6_4).
