GRASS 6.4 RC7

Hopefully the last release candidate for GRASS 6.4. 2 important changes since RC6:

  • For new users, the default GUI is wxPython. Current GUI setting will be remembered, so if you want to start using the new GUI, you will have to change your settings if you haven't already.
  • Wx nviz and vdigit are not included. They were still not fully working, and need to be updated for internal changes. They should reappear in a future 6.4.x version. The Python interface to GRASS functions is also not included (related to the internal changes).

New Python Modules Page

I started a Python Modules page. This will include GIS-related modules (and other random stuff I'm interested in). These modules are built for the system Python on Leopard and Snow Leopard, or don't have binary components and can be installed directly from source. First module: SciPy.

FreeType 2.4.2

Well, here's an interesting update, FreeType Framework 2.4.2.

This fixes a security hole in FreeType, the exact same issue that allows the web/PDF-based iPhone 4 jailbreak. Huh? Apple uses FreeType in iOS, and not their own ATS? At least for for PDFs. Apple even named the security report, CVE-2010-1797, in the iOS 4.0.2 update. (My FreeType framework has nothing to do with iOS, just so you know.)
