GRASS GIS 6.4.1 released
12 April 2011
http://grass.osgeo.org

We are pleased to announce that the new stable version of GRASS GIS
6.4.1 has been released. This release fixes some bugs discovered in
the 6.4.0 source code and adds a few new features (over 560 updates
to the source code with respect to 6.4.0 have been added). As a
stable release series the 6.4 line will enjoy long-term support.

GRASS 6.4.1 brings a number of incremental enhancements to the 6.4
stable series of releases. The new wxPython graphical user
interface (wxGUI) has been updated with a load of new features and
tools; Python is now a fully supported scripting language,
including a python toolkit and hooks back into the core GIS
libraries; and MS-Windows support continues to mature.

GRASS differs from many other GIS software packages used in the
academic and professional worlds in that it is developed and
distributed by users for users, mostly on a volunteer basis, in the
open, and is given away for free. The source code is also freely
available, allowing for immediate customization, examination of the
underlying algorithms, addition of new features, and faster
patching of bugs.

About GRASS GIS

The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred
to as GRASS, is an Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS)

engines in a single integrated software suite. GRASS includes tools
for spatial modeling, visualization of raster and vector data,
management and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of
satellite and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to
produce sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps.
GRASS has now been translated into twenty languages and supports a
huge array of data formats. It is distributed under the terms of
