[GRASS-dev] Grass7 tech-preview release [was Re: [GRASS-user] to move or not move ? grass64 <- ? -> 7.0]

[Sören Gebbert]

It seems to be a good idea.
However, i have to apply the 3D raster patch[1] then as soon as
possible to get the voxel stuff working with large data. But this will
bring the risk of losing backward compatibility .... .

Please exclude the temporal GIS stuff in the tech-preview 7.0 release,
since so many manual pages are still missing.

Best
