<h2>GRASS 6.0 status</h2>

<ul>
<li> 12 January 2005: GRASS 6.0.0beta1 source code released</li>
</ul>

<a name="features"></a>
<h2>GRASS 6.0 features</h2>
The improvements of the vector architecture
cover the new 3D multiattribute, multilayer vector library,
a modified NVIZ and a few database management tools.
DBMS is now integral part of the system.

<ul>
<li>Vector library (geometry):
<ul>
 <li>
 <b>multiformat</b> - also external data formats supported (SHAPE-file, PostGIS) 
   without the need of data conversion (through OGR library with 'v.external');</li>

 <li>
  Optional <b>PostGIS support</b> implemented for geometry storage via OGR library.
   which probably allows for multiuser write access to the same vector map;</li>

 <li>
  <b>spatial index</b> - v.build (was: v.support) significantly accelerated;</li>
</ul>

<li>Database Management Interface (attributes):
<ul>
 <li>
  Attribute storage in <b>DBMS</b> for compatibility with industry standards
  (SQL based interface for PostgreSQL, mySQL, ODBC, dBase)</li>

 <li>
  <b>multiattribute</b> - attributes saved in dBase files (default) or 
      saved in external DBMS</li>

 <li>
 <b>multilayer</b> - features in one vector may represent one or several
 layers and may be linked to one or several external tables</li>

 <li>
 <b>2D/3D vectors</b> may be created (see <a
  href=http://mpa.itc.it/radim/g51/chaloupky1.png>screenshot</a>)
 (eg TINs), already supported in NVIZ</li>

 <li>
  forms library implemented for user friendly query dialogs</li>

 <li> 
  Linear reference systems supported (LRS, to come)</li>
</ul>

<li>Applications/Misc:
<ul>
 <li><b>SQL queries/selects</b> supported by vector modules</li>

 <li><b>attributes updating</b> is  supported through the forms library
  (d.what.vect lets you modify directly the attached attributes)</li>

 <li>
 <b>Shortest path vector networking</b> (<a href=http://mpa.itc.it/radim/g51/d.path.jpg>screenshot</a>) - based on
 <a href=../dglib/>DGLIB (Directed Graph Library)</a>, costs may be assigned
 both to nodes and arcs (and also different in both directions of a vector
 line)</li>

 <li>new <b>v.digit with GUI</b> under construction (<a
   href=http://mpa.itc.it/radim/g51/v.digit3.png>screenshot</a>)</li>

 <li><b>import and export of any <a href=http://gdal.org/ogr/>OGR
  vector formats</a></b> as supported by OGR (Shapefile, TIGER,
  MapInfo and GML2, PostGIS and DGN)</li>

 <li> <b>GUI generated by front end on runtime</b> and <b>display
 manager</b> (<a href=http://mpa.itc.it/radim/g51/>screenshots</a>)</li>
 <li> i18n: support for <b>multiple languages</b> (at time framework implemented,
    translators needed)</li>
 <li> <b>multiple GRASS sessions</b>: a user can start more than one session
  in parallel</li>
</ul>
</ul>


<h2>Large File Support</h2>
GRASS 6.0 supports reading and writing large files (> 2GB) 
if it is possible in your operating system. If you compile with 
<tt>-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64</tt>, you should be able to have raster maps 
which are larger than 2Gb.
