GRASS GIS 6.4.4 released
http://grass.osgeo.org

We are pleased to announce the release of a new stable version of
GRASS GIS. This release fixes issues discovered in the 6.4.3 version
of the program and adds a number of new features. This release
includes over 340 updates to the source code since 6.4.3. As a stable
release series, the 6.4 line will enjoy long-term support and
incremental enhancements while preserving backwards-compatibility with
the entire GRASS 6 line.

Key improvements of the GRASS GIS 6.4.4 release include a complete
rewrite of the r.li suite, major fixes for buffers (v.buffer, now
based on GEOS library), major speedup for some vector modules
(v.rast.stats and v.in.gpsbabel), various fixes for the portable
wxPython based graphical interface (wxNVIZ, Location Wizard or
Cartographic Composer), enabled Cairo driver for MS-Windows, and more
user message translations.
