+The new <a href="../grass60/index.php">GRASS 6.0.0</a> release introduces a new topological 2D/3D vector
+engine and support for vector network analysis. Attributes are now
+managed in a SQL-based DBMS. A new display manager has been
+implemented. The NVIZ visualization tool was enhanced to display 3D
+vector data and voxel volumes. Messages are partially translated
+(<a href="../devel/i18n.php">i18N</a>) with support for FreeType fonts, 
+including multibyte Asian characters. New LOCATIONs can be auto-generated
+by EPSG code number. GRASS is integrated with GDAL/OGR libraries to support an
+extensive range of raster and vector formats, including OGC-conformal
+Simple Features.
