[GRASS-user] Missing information in the GRASS 7 NewFeatures/OptionChanges web page

[Bartolomei.Chris]

I'm upgrading some scripts to run in GRASS 7.1 (from GRASS 6.4.4) and just wanted to point out some missing information on the Changes page:
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures#Optionschanges
I may misunderstand what was intended to be listed in this web page, so please forgive me if this is useless...
(note that these are just the modules I use in some scripts, I didn't go through every module nor did I list any add--ons)

For v.db.select the field separator option changed and is not listed:
fs -> separator

For v.to.db the units are spelled out now:
mi -> miles
f -> feet
me -> meters
k -> kilometers
a -> acres
h -> hectares
r -> radians
d -> degrees

If version 7 can still use the abbreviations, then the man page (https://grass.osgeo.org/grass71/manuals/v.to.db.html) should reflect this.

For g.region, the map types are spelled out now:
rast -> raster
vect -> vector
rast3d -> raster_3D
option 3dview has been removed

For r.mask (not listed at all)
-o -> --overwrite
option input has changed to either option raster or option vector
options layer, cats, where, --help, and --ui have been added

For r.resample:
option -q has been removed (redundant)
option --ui has been added

For r.stream.extract:
options memory and --ui added

For r.watershed:
options -b, tci, spi, --help, and --ui have been added
option visual has been removed

For r.patch (not listed at all):
-q option removed (redundant)
options --help and --ui added

For r.to.vect:
option -t added (do not create attribute table)
option -q removed (redundant)
options --help and --ui added
option column added

For r.neighboors:
option -q removed (redundant)
options --help and --ui added
options selection and quantile are added
methods count, quart1, quart3, perc90, and quantile added

For g.rename:
rast -> raster
rast3d -> raster_3d
vect -> vector
labels -> label
options oldvect, asciivect, icon, sites, region3d, and 3dview have been removed

For v.db.connect (not listed at all):
option -l is removed
fs -> separator
options --overwrite, --help and --ui added

For g.mapsets:
fs -> separator
the "measure -> method" is an error and should not be there

For db.connect (not listed at all):
-g and -d options added
default driver has changed from dbf to sqlite

For v.category (not listed at all):
-t option added (do not copy attribute table)
options --help and --ui added
option=transfer added

For r.null (not listed at all):
-z option added

For db.execute:
option sql= added
usage changed: if piping from an echo statement, add "input=- to the end of the command:
echo "{your sql statement};" | db.execute input=-
instead of
echo "{your sql statement};" | db.execute

For v.db.update:
rast -> elevation is an error and should not be there
option sqliteextra added

For v.net:
option -s (snap) is added
options arc_type, turn_layer, and turn_cat_type are added
options --help and --ui added

For v.net.allpairs:
option -a has been removed
technically the statement ncolumn->node_column is incorrect: there was no ncolumn thus option node_column (and option node_layer) is new
