- | In 2015, the TerraLib Project Team launched a completely reengineered version of the TerraLib and TerraView ((we adopt a semantic versioning system where each version number has a format Major.Minor.Patch. Bug fixes not affecting the public API increment the patch version, backwards compatible API additions/changes increment the minor version, and backwards incompatible API changes increment the major version)), named **TerraLib 5.0.0 LTS**. Together with the TerraLib 5.0.0 LTS we also launched GIS **TerraView 5.0.0 LTS**. In this wiki page you can find information about TerraLib and TerraView version **5.x.y** LTS, i.e., **version 5.0.0 LTS and subsequent versions**. | + | After several improvements the TerraLib Project Team is launching **TerraLib 5.7.0**.

- | The TerraView 5.x.y has been built on top of the TerraLib 5.x.y. TerraLib Major version 5 presents new concepts (such as Project) that were not available in the previous major versions. It also presents new (or enhanced versions) of functions for data conversion and data exchanging; access to different data sources; map display; explanatory spatial data analysis; spatial and non-spatial queries; vector and raster processing and spatio-temporal analysis functionalities. | + | The TerraView 5.y.z has been built on top of the TerraLib 5.y.z.
