Hi Marco,

I loaded the new build under Windows XP and it runs all right, so far as my simple usage is concerned - constructing a map from various vector layers.

However, as someone new to Grass, my knowledge is not great. Using the print button on the map display, I'm having trouble reproducing in a file what I see on the screen - An eps file does not appear to include the entire region on the screen, regardless of the paper size specified (I've tried A4 and A0) - A pdf file using A4 paper is at least contained within the page, although not centrally, but if I specify A0 I get a part map in one corner of the page. Can you point me at relevant documentation to read to try to sort this out please?

Many thanks,
John Field

Hi lists,

I built GRASS 6.3.0 on Vista (Home Premium) through the usual MSYS/MinGW envrironment.
It works fine on my machine, and it seems that it solved the following bugs:

<http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/111>http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/111
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/118

But I need more tests, from both XP and Vista users;
I specially need to know if that build works fine also on XP systems, because at the moment I cannot access my old XP machine to test it by myself.

In this binary release candidate (the 4th for GRASS 6.3.0) I introduced the following changes:

- added libjpeg (6b) library [built from source]
- added JPEG support in libtiff
- added JPEG support in GRASS
- updated libpng from 1.2.24 to 1.2.29
- updated GLS from 1.9 to 1.11
- updated PostgreSQL from 8.2.6 to 8.3.1
- updated SQLite from 3.5.6 to 3.5.9
- added the OGDI tools (3.2.0beta1-4) [prebuilt binaries from OSGEO4W Project]
- updated GDAL from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2
- added the AVCE00 tools (2.0.0) [built from source]
- added the E00compr tools (1.0.0) [built from source]
- added the GPSBabel tools (1.3.5) [prebuilt binaries from GPSBabel Web Site]
- updated tcl from 8.5.1 to 8.5.2
- updated tk from 8.5.1 to 8.5.2

I also tried to add the FFMPEG and wxWidgets supports to GRASS, but I failed for the moment; I'll try to do that next times :-)

The WinGRASS-6.3.0-4 Test Installer is available here:

Any comment or test help will be highly appreciated.
Many thaks guys,

Marco
