[GRASS-dev] minor tweak to new website

[Michael Barton]

You are correct about the redundancy. I was trying to make the change as minor as possible. A somewhat better listing would be

GRASS GIS 7.8.5 (current stable)

GRASS GIS 7.6.1 (legacy) [change from “old”]

GRASS GIS 7.9 (preview) [“development” is OK, but “preview” sounds more inviting for use]

Hi,
If I may:
Devel (development)  has wording redundancy.
What about....7.9 snapshot (under development)
Regards from a lurker that admires the effort you guys put in.

 On the new download pages, I just noticed that the dev versions are referenced like this:



 GRASS GIS 7.9 devel (unstable)



 This implies that GRASS 7.9 is risky and perhaps minimally useable. The reality is that it works very well but has some new features that might be buggy or might change. While we want to indicate these differences from the current stable version, we don’t want to discourage people from trying it (and reporting any issues).



 I suggest that we reference it as



 GRASS GIS 7.9 devel (development)



 Or



 GRASS GIS 7.9 devel (preview)




 +1 good point, it indeed works well, and is in my experience more stable than many other software tools I use(d).
