We are pleased to announce the 4th beta release of a new version of GRASS GIS 7.0.0. Shortly the GRASS GIS 7.0.0RC1 will be published (planned: 29 Dec 2014).
Between 7.0.0beta3 and the current 7.0.0beta4 around 700 updates have been applied. MOST IMPORTANT CHANGES in BETA4: Major efforts in standardization of parameter and flag names for a better user experience: * a few map types have been renamed: * "rast" -> "raster" * "vect" -> "vector" * "rast3d" -> "raster_3d" * On command line parameter names can be abbreviated (but not in Python scripts) * Old parameter names are still recognized, and, as a help, the command issues a message about the respective new parameter name. EXAMPLES FOR THE RENAMED MAP TYPES: g.region rast=map --> g.region raster=map g.region vect=map --> g.region vector=map DOWNLOAD Binaries: http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software/#g70betax Source code: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/source/grass-7.0.0beta4.tar.gz http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/source/grass-7.0.0beta4.md5sum Changelog: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/source/ChangeLog_7.0.0beta4.gz See also our detailed announcement: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Release/7.0.0beta-News Please test on "any" platform which is supported.
