> We are pleased to announce the release of a new stable version of
> GRASS GIS. This release fixes bugs discovered in version 6.4.1 of the
> program and adds a number of new features. This release includes over
> 760 updates to the source code since 6.4.1. As a stable release
> series, the 6.4 line will enjoy long-term support and incremental
> enhancements while preserving backwards-compatibility with the entire
> GRASS 6 line.
> 
> The new wxPython graphical user interface (wxGUI) has been updated
> with many new features and tools. Python is now a fully supported
> scripting language, including an updated Python toolkit to simplify
> the authoring of personal scripts, support for NumPy based array
> calculations, and a Python application interface for the GRASS C
> libraries. Additionally, MS-Windows support continues to mature. GRASS
> 6.4.2 debuts ten new modules, a new GUI cartographic composer tool, a
> new GUI object-oriented modeling environment, and improved
> infrastructure for installing community supplied add-on modules.

> About GRASS GIS
> 
> The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to
> as GRASS, is an Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) and
> geospatial analysis toolkit. For nearly three decades, GRASS has
> provided powerful raster, vector, and geospatial processing engines in
> a single integrated software suite. GRASS includes tools for spatial
> modeling of raster and vector data, visualization, the management and
> analysis of geospatial information, and the processing of satellite
> and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce
> sophisticated presentation graphics and publication-quality hardcopy
> maps. GRASS has now been translated into twenty languages and supports
> an extensive array of data formats. It is distributed under the terms
> of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
> 
> GRASS differs from many other GIS software packages used in the
> academic and professional worlds in that it is developed and
> distributed by users for users, mostly on a volunteer basis. Its code
> and spatial processing algorithms are open and transparent, and the
> software is distributed free of charge. The source code is also freely
> available, allowing for immediate customization, examination of the
> underlying algorithms, the addition of new features, and faster
> identification and patching of bugs.
