Known bugs in current GRASS GIS version 5.0 CVS
[In sync with GRASS 5.0 beta CVS version]
Maintained by
Markus Neteler <neteler@itc.it>
Please send a note if detecting an unknown bug:
http://grass.itc.it/bugtracking/bugreport.html
Bugs being release-critical with regard to GRASS 5.0stable release
are indicated [RC].

RC-Bug list:
GRASS bugtracking system:
http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?q_queue=grass
[RC] CELL-Driver:
-colors are not correct
Comment from Carl Anderson <candrsn@mindspring.com>
Tracking of the "bug" will have to start in
src/display/d.rast/cmd/display.c
Since GRASS4 did the colors right, using both GRASS4 and GRASS5
drivers, I suspect one of the Libraries and not the XDRIVER.
look at D_set_colors ().
(being worked on by ?)
- When plotting to D_CELL, the color black is changed to white. this
concerns vector maps, fonts (in d.legend), grid an d.erase. I think this
problem did not exist in version 5b10.
reported by: Reinhard Brunzema <r.brunzema@web.de>)
----------- libraries ---------------------------------------------
- GRASS raster colors bug:
GRASS becomes extremely slow in case more than 8000 colors are within
a raster map (therefore color quantization in r.in.tiff etc).
(being worked on by ?)
----------- modules ---------------------------------------------
d.param.scale (at src.nonGPL/display/d.param.scale/)
- replace numerical recipes functions with src/libes/gmath/ functions
- lower axis description not readable
- sometimes "floating point exeption", especially in par=geary
(being worked on by ?)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Modules with interface problems (parser etc):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(collected by Andreas Lange, not release critical, bu should be fixed
sometimes for consistency)
--------------- script used --------------------
cd $GISBASE/bin
for f in ?.*; do echo '---> '$f; $f -help; done 2>&1 | more
-------------------------------------------------
d.vect.pg, d.what.r.pg, d.what.s.pg, d.what.v.pg,
g.column.pg, g.stats.pg, g.table.pg, v.reclass.pg print :
Please run g.select.pg to identify a current database.
g3.region:
no parser
i.tape.tm.fast:
ERROR (only for xy-locations), no "Usage: " Info
m.in.stf1.tape:
must be run in command mode only (USAGE:) ... no parser interface
v.in.arc.pg -help prints :
Coverage type:
Enter "polygon(area)" or "line"
Hit RETURN to cancel.
v.in.dlg:
????
m.lulc.USGS -help prints :
Cannot open USGS CTG file
tcltkgrass launch itself, ignoring the -help option...
All interactive functions print only:
Usage : <name of the command>
(This command must be run interactively)
On the other hand, some help messages are huge (75 lines...)
Sometimes, a blank line is printed before the "Usage:" string
this is also not consistent...

Further discussion/hints:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Comments on updating 4.x vector modules to 5.x vector:
There is a slightly modified category support:
Comment on vector cats from Bill Hughes:
The Categories structure was changed between 4.x and 5.0beta.
The change seems to have moved the *labels element out of the list
structure and replace list.num with the index to **labels. The fix
is to change the SCS/* code to use 'cats->labels[i]' instead of
'cats->list[i].labels' There will be breakage around 'list[i].num'
as well, and probably these can be deleted, or use 'cats->num' instead.
The cats.count is cats.ncats now (see src/include/gis.h).
->Note: All vector modules should be updated
