WinGRASS is finally here

Friday, May 30, 2008

It’s had a quiet announcement (over a month ago actually) but WinGRASS is finally here. Since its inception in 1983, GRASS has never run natively on Windows and this, in part, has limited its application by a wider audience. To be fair, it can run very well on most modern Linux distributions, but its not quite the same. And it can run on Windows under Cygwin, just not natively. Note that, as per Linux releases, odd point increments (v6.3 in this instance) are considered beta versions in preparation for full “even” releases (the upcoming 6.4 and eventually 7.0). So download and have a play as the capabilities are remarkable.
