This release fixes a number of bugs discovered in the 6.2.2 source code. It is primarily for stability purposes and adds minimal new features. Besides bug fixes it also includes a number of new message translations and updates for the help pages and projection database. Highlights include further maturation of the GRASS 6 GUI, vector, and database code. Some improvements have been backported from the GRASS 6.3 development branch where new development continues at a strong pace of approximately one code commit every hour, including major work on an all new cross-platform wxPython GUI and a native MS Windows port. Description: ------------ GRASS GIS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a Free Software Geographical Information System (GIS) with raster, topological vector, image processing, volume voxel management/visualization, 2D/3D vector engine with vector network analysis and graphics production functionality that operates on various platforms through shell and a graphical user interface.

Description:
------------
This is an APT satellite weather image decoder for Linux.
It can decode APT images direct from the receivers audio
o/p via the computers soundcard or from a file of
recorded APT signal samples.
Currently wxapt supports the NOAA-type and Meteor-type
APT formats. wxapt automatically sets up the sound
card and the mixers recording/capture volume to the
correct level and then determines the type of satellite
form the signature of its sync pulse train.
wxapt is a simple non-interactive command line tool for
the console and was designed to be efficient and suitable
for running on low power machines using simpler processors
like the Intel StrongArm and similar.
For this reason wxapt uses only integer arithmetic for
all processing and does not require linking to math
libraries for calculations.
There is also a GTK+-based user interface available which is called xwxapt. Best regards Your FreeGIS Core Team.
