GRASS GIS 6.2.0 released 31 Oct 2006
This new stable release adds hundreds of new features, support for the latest GIS data formats, and includes new translations for many languages.
The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for spatial modeling, visualization of both raster and vector data, geospatial data management and analysis, processing of satellite and aerial imagery, and production of sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS combines powerful raster, vector, and geospatial processing engines into a single integrated software package.
The GRASS GIS project is developed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (the GPL) by volunteers the world over. GRASS differs from many other GIS software packages used in the professional world 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. Emphasis is placed on interoperability and unlimited access to data as well as on software flexibility and evolution rate. The source code is freely available allowing for immediate customization, examination of the underlying algorithms, addition of new features, and fast bug fixing.
GRASS is used around the world in academic and commercial settings as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.
The software can be downloaded from https://grass.itc.it/download/ , https://grass.ibiblio.org/download/ and numerous mirror sites.
Thanks to all developers, testers and (new) users!
