[GRASS-dev] [release planning] 7.6.0

Anna is making significant headway in fixing remaining serious bugs in the GUI, although she has a lot of other things taking up her time. I just compiled and uploaded a new 7.5 svn binary with these fixes.

The main remaining one is the vector digitizer (hopefully the interactive image classification module is the same problem). It would be really nice to have a working digitizer in the next stable version.

    Hi devs,
    
    according to our plans we should start to prepare the initial 7.6.0 release:
    
    Milestone 7.6.0 – GRASS GIS
    - Proposal of release: ~14 May
    - Soft freeze of release branch: ~23 May
    - RC1: ~23 June
    - RC2: ~7 July
    - Final release: ~29 July 2018 - GRASS GIS birthday!
    
    In addition, we could make it into the upcoming OSGeoLive 12 being
    prepared for the FOSS4G 2018 (see below).
    
    IMHO we have definitely accumulated enough new new features. The next
    step would be to create a release branch and shift the attention to
    the new branch accordingly.
    
    Strong opinions against it?
    
    Markus

... what is the current state here?

I think there has been no change yet. Normally, Anna would ask me to test any major fixes.

The other item I forgot about and just now ran into is that the import modules are broken. We can still use r.in.gdal, v.in.ogr, etc, but not the nice integrated modules. My guess from the error is that this will be a fairly simple fix. I did a bug report on Trac awhile back.

My other guess is that the problems are mostly (all?) from deprecated or non-'standard' wx code that does not work correctly in wxPython 3+. Since all of GRASS will need to migrate to this soon, it will be good to get it cleared up.

Michael
