[GRASS-dev] [release planning] GRASS GIS 8: create new release branch

The r.colors/v.colors log scaling was getting close to being fixed. But I don’t know if Huidae has had time to work on it recently.

It would be very nice to have increasing PDAL functionality by adding r.in.pdal. Along those lines, why doesn’t v.in.pdal show up in the menu? I thought that was supposed to be automatic now. It is present in both 7.8 and 7.9 if configures --with-pdal.

Hi devs,

Let me suggest to create a new release branch in the next two weeks
It will help us to focus on the upcoming and even announced 8.0.0
release: several conferences are upcoming with presentations on GRASS
GIS 8 talks and demo sessions.
So it makes quite sense to have a tangible version available, at least
in a release branch :slight_smile:

Now, the question is, also to avoid excessive cherry-picking of fixes
and changes from master (to be called 8.1 then), which of the open PR
may be merged soon?

See e.g. here:

Related to vector colors with v.colors, I also wanted to change how d.vect works with colors of areas, but I’m unsure about how to proceed there.

More work is needed, so probably not for the initial beta, but we are in a good position to include it as is if we find ourselves before the release without r.in.pdal.

Along those lines, why doesn’t v.in.pdal show up in the menu? I thought that was supposed to be automatic now.

The menus are handcrafted - there is a strutructure which is in the menus (i.e., nothing in the modules themselves is used to sort them out hierarchically). What is automatic is the Addons: If you install the script-based r.in.pdal from Addons, it will show up automatically.

v.in.pdal is not an extension though. It is packaged with the normal distribution. I guess I’ll put in an issue to have it on the menu.
