[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4 macOS still doesn't install GRASS properly, ... 'sigh...'

[William Kyngesburye]

I don't know why you're saying not having a working installer with GRASS, the last few versions have been working as far as I know, I haven't heard of any problems recently.  Yes, this one was broken, now there is a new version to download that is fixed (and shouold stay fixed in the future, for this specific problem).  Really, a polite "GRASS is not working, it's doing this, or not doing that" on the mailing list, or better a bug report, is all that's needed.

I’d love to be able to teach QGIS alongside Esri, but I can tell people to use something that doesn’t work, out of the box. I’ve been trying for 2 days now to get back to a working copy of QGIS3. It’s my fault, of course. I know better than to upgrade, now.  If you aren’t going to test it properly, don’t release it.
