This is very slick. Does this mean that you can run QGIS from within a GRASS session (GRASS 5.7 I assume??) as a display GUI?

Also, do you know if this will run under Mac OSX or Cygwin? Or only under Linux?

Subject: [GRASS5] QGIS - GRASS data provider

GRASS vector data provider was uploaded to QGIS CVS.
GRASS++ library was merged to the provider and isn't required any more.

Install:
cvs update -dP
autogen.sh
./configure --with-grass=/path/to/gisbase

If QGIS is not run inside GRASS session, set GISBASE before
and add your path to GRASS libs to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Look at screenshots: http://qgis.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
and user guide: http://qgis.sourceforge.net/docs/userguide.html
to see some of those nice new QGIS features.

Thanks to all QGIS developers.

QGIS may be run either within or outside GRASS session.
It is more comfortable within GRASS session, because when you want to
add a new layer, the dialog items are already set to your current
gisdbase/location/mapset so you select just the map, or mapset/map.

Data providers are currently available only for vectors,
raster support is based on GDAL (+libgrass).
I would prefer direct access also for rasters in future.

Also, do you know if this will run under Mac OSX or Cygwin? Or only
under Linux?

Mac OSX was discussed recently:

It should work on Cygwin, however nobody tried AFAIK.
