<h3>Overview of changes</h3>
<p>After more than 3 year of development the <b>first stable release GRASS GIS 8.0.0</b> is available. Efforts have concentrated on making the user experience even better, providing many new useful additional functionalities to modules and further improving the graphical user interface.</p>
<p><b>Breaking news: new graphical user interface with entirely rewritten startup sequence!</b></p>
<p>This re-establishes user experience compatibility with QGIS and other connected software packages.</p>
<p>The GRASS GIS 8.0.0 release provides more than <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/compare/7.8.6...8.0.0" target="_blank">1,400 fixes and improvements</a> with respect to the release 7.8.6.</p>
<p>With the introduction of the semantic label raster metadata class, the temporal database was modified to version 3. Hence, to be able to read and process GRASS 7.x space-time datasets, users will be prompted to run <code>t.upgrade</code>. If users want to read newly created space-time datasets back in GRASS 7.x, they can run <code>t.downgrade</code>.</p>
<h4>Launching the software</h4>
<p>The user experience of the graphical user interface has been completely rewritten: no more clumsy selection screens - just enter the menu system directly!</p>
<p>And on command line, GRASS GIS now starts versionless, i.e. as <code>grass</code>.</p><p><b>Downloads</b></p><ul><li class="gmail-Box-row">
