GRASS update

New GRASS 6.3 CVS build available.

Notable changes: it’s now possible to drag a mapset folder onto GRASS.app to open that mapset in a new GRASS session. i.atcorr module added to default GRASS build.

Independence Day Update

Postgres fix – in the Postgres/PostGIS split update, I accidentally left in part of a log file change that caused Postgres to fail to run on new installations. (It was idea I was trying, but it didn’t work out.) There are no changes to Postgres itself, just the installer.

GDAL updated to 1.4.2. I also fixed a build problem that caused the OGDI driver to fail. *** updated – had some GRASS.app issues.

FreeType updated to 2.3.5.

GD updated to 2.0.35.

Qgis 0.8.1 available

Woohoo! My MacBook is fixed. It’s almost like a new Mac – replaced logic board, inverter, screen, a couple case parts.

So, I can now build the recent Qgis 0.8.1 release. Now available in the downloads.

With this release, that finishes up everything that was using old framework versions, so I have removed the old GDAL 1.3 and GEOS 2.2 frameworks.

downtime (today’s MacBook adventure)

Well, I won’t be getting much done in the next few days – Sumomo, my MacBook, developed a nasty, and spectacular, screen flicker overnight, and is now in the shop for repair. The old PowerBook I’m using now doesn’t have space for the dev tools, and I’m limping along with webmail.

For kicks I recorded a video – notice that it’s fine when the mouse is on the right, and is really messed up when it reaches the left edge. Just a download link, I didn’t take the time to figure out the embedding tags:

rgdal updated

rgdal updated to 0.5.13. I also fixed a problem – I accidentally duplicated the 2.4 version as the 2.5 version. NOTE: the R 2.4 rgdal package is frozen at 0.5.9, since I’ve upgraded to R 2.5, so upgrade to R 2.5 to stay up to date with rgdal. At some point I’ll remove the 2.4 package from the download.

A few framework updates

A couple headers were fixed in the GEOS framework, so builds won’t halt at a ‘FIXME’ error. This really only affect developers and others building software.

In the UnixImageIO framework, PNG has been updated to include a new security fix, and TIFF has been updated to a more recent CVS.

GRASS updates

A few GRASS updates. GRASS 6.2.2RC1. Latest 6.3 CVS. I fixed a problem in the modbuild, so it should work now. And, I added wget to the package, for r.in.wms.
