Hi Moritz,

In this image, the installer suggests that it will install a newer version of GRASS which is 6.3.0-4 instead of 6.3.0-3. In my understanding these are not two different versions of GRASS, but rather two different versions of the installer. If this is not correct, then it shouldn't be 6.3.0 in both cases. If it is correct, then why resinstall GRASS ?

sorry, I'm late... yesterday night I had my first "friends, music and beer meeting" since last 3 months... so... you can understand :-)

yes, there's something to discuss here. You're right when you say that it's not a different version of GRASS, it's still 6.3.0, but it's not exactly a simple different version of the installer. Yes, the installer may be different, but I usually release a new "installer" (that is a new binary release) when I introduced changes in GRASS or its dependencies binaries (adding new supports to GRASS or updating dependencies); that is because WinGRASS is still at a high development stage, and it may happen that, between source releases, I add new features or complete some To-Do items about supports/dependencies.

This said, could we replace the word "version" in the message box with "binary release" or simply "release"? that would be, actually more "honest"; do you agree?

Regards,

Marco
