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

Wed Oct 31 11:23:34 PDT 2018

Hi All,

This is something we are working on. Please follow the emails from dev list:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2018-October/055034.html

We are hoping the write a QEP later this week and start the discussion with
the developers and wider community.

If you are brave there is a link to an installer on the last email and you
can give it try. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Regards
Saber
