What's new in GRASS 5.0.0pre4:
Why is 5.0.0 not yet released?
The developers want to ensure that 5.0.0
is a stable release. With the current GRASS development team the way
GRASS is development has been changed significantly. It mostly relies
on people willing to help. This 5.0.0pre4 release is a candidate for
becoming the 5.0.0 release. It can only be made stable if
it enjoys a lot of testing. Please give it a spin.
Report bugs to the
GRASS
bugtracker. Don't hesitate to
report a bug which you find in the new release.
