[Freegis-list] GRASS 6.0.0 released

[Markus Neteler]

GRASS GIS 6.0.0 released 10 March 2005

After more than two years of development the first official release of
the next generation implementation of GRASS has been published.

What's new (shortened):

GRASS 6.0.0 comes with a new topological 2D/3D vector engine and
support for vector network analysis. Attributes are managed now in
DBMS (SQL based). A new display manager has been implemented. The NVIZ
visualization tool is enhanced to display 3D vector data and voxel
volumes. Messages are partially translated (i18N) with support for
FreeType fonts including multibyte Asian characters. New LOCATIONs can
be auto-generated by EPSG code number. GRASS is integrated with
GDAL/OGR libraries to support an extensive range of raster and vector
formats including OGC-conformal Simple Features.
