*GRASS GIS 6.4.3 released* - Birthday release for *30 years of GRASS GIS*
http://grass.osgeo.org
[image: 30 YEARS OF GRASS
GIS!]<http://grass.osgeo.org/news/27/15/30-years-of-GRASS-GIS-development/>
We are pleased to announce the release of a new stable version of GRASS
GIS. This release fixes bugs discovered in 6.4.2 version of the program and
adds a number of new features. This release includes over
830 updates to the source code since 6.4.2. 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.
*Key improvements* of this release include some new functionality
(assistance for topologically unclean vector data), major speedup for some
vector modules, fixes in the vector network modules, fixes for the wxPython
based portable graphical interface (attribute table management, wxNVIZ, and
Cartographic Composer). A number of new modules have been added for
processing LANDSAT and MODIS satellite data, and a new vector statistics
module is also introduced. Many new symbols and north arrows are available,
and the user will find an improved and easier to use wizard for creating
custom project locations with precise map projection and datum support.
Community-contributed add-on modules are now more easily and robustly
installed from an online archive. Other major developments include
enhancements to the Python scripting library and numerous
software-compatibility fixes and translation updates. Important is the
enhanced portability for MS-Windows (native support, fixes in case of
missing system DLLs). And we welcome Romanian as our twenty-fourth language!
