[GRASS-dev] [release planning] GRASS GIS 8.3.1

GRASS GRASS developer

Hi devs,

While 8.3.0 has been released rather recently, an important bug showed up:
- r.watershed: fix streams and basins #3140

Unfortunately r.watershed is partially broken in 8.3.0 such that
streams and basins are no longer correctly calculated. This has been
now been fixed.

Given the importance of r.watershed, I suggest an anticipated release of 8.3.1

Here the milestone:
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/milestone/21

What do you think?

This is an important function of GRASS. I think it would be wise to rectify the issue as soon as possible

Any other opinions?
What about the Windows g.extension git story, to be added to 8.3.1?

In general, I wouldn’t mind a quick patch 8.3.1 release. Remaining (non-blocking) issues may be bumped to 8.3.2, which in turn can be released as soon as possible.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the fix to g.extension for Windows that just went in, so you can load addons on Windows in 8.3.x https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/3166#issuecomment-1727462938

As far as I see the git on Windows issue has been solved as well as
many wxGUI bugs.
Still a few to go which are under review. Shall we wait for them?
Please let me know.

Not only Windows wxGUI issues. It is impossible to change the layout
from single window to the original one. I am using the original one
with students, meaning that I am still using 8.2.x with them.
Releasing 8.3.1 (where it is fixed) would let me to use 8.3.x versions
with them without forcing them to compile it on their own. (the
8.3.0-broken r.watershed is also used there)

So a new release would be appreciated also at my side.

But that's just my two cents.

I have started with the RC1 release procedure but got stuck: pylint
errors and no changelog possible to create.
Have contacted Vaclav via chat (we recently improved the howto_release
notes in a long video call).

Since it is late here I guess I can only continue tomorrow.

Cheers and sorry for being slow.

Hi devs,

Still 6 items to go or bump to the 8.3.2 milestone:
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A"backport+to+8.3"+milestone%3A8.3.1

Given the urgency of 8.3.1 final I suggest to merge what's possible
and bump the rest.
Or, rather bump all and release 8.3.1 final.

Markus
