-This release is particularly important for Ubuntu users due to a number of
-Bourne shell script fixes. Other highlights include a new location creation
-GUI with EPSG search and further maturation of the GRASS 6 GUI, vector, and
-database code. These improvements have been backported from the GRASS 6.3
-development branch where new development continues at a strong pace of
-approximately one code commit every hour, including major work being done
-on an all new cross-platform wxPython GUI.

-The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) is a Geographic
-Information System (GIS) used for spatial modeling, visualization of both
-raster and vector data, geospatial data management and analysis, processing
-of satellite and aerial imagery, and production of sophisticated presentation
-graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS combines powerful raster, vector, and
-geospatial processing engines into a single integrated software package.
