[GRASS-dev] change in vector area format?

[Michael Barton]

Maybe I just missed the announcement. But I was surprised to find that  
areas no longer displayed as areas in GRASS 7, but only as boundaries.  
After trying multiple vector area files and considerable futzing with  
various settings I got an error that said that the topology was bad.  
When I rebuilt topology I could again display areas.

Does this rebuilding of vector areas under GRASS 7 have any negative  
repercussions for displaying the same files in GRASS 6?
