[GRASS-dev] New 'output' parameter in r.colors

[Patton, Eric]

Hi,

I just noticed today that there's a new 'output' parameter, which seems to replace the old 'map' parameter in r.colors. Specifically, I noticed it when several of my scripts broke due to the new parameter name. Does anyone know the rationale for this change? 

Isn't it usually the case with raster modules that 'input' and 'output' params are used only when a new raster is being written, else 'map' parameter is used? 

Sorry if I missed the thread on this, or if it's already been documented elsewhere.
