All,

This is a note to let you know some of the plans for 1.3's development. Some of these items will definitely be implemented, while others are just hopes at this point. If you have an opinion on something, please speak up!

- An Oracle Point Cloud utility, las2oci, that can write LAS files into OPCs.
- Boost linkage
  -- for help with thread support for the reader
  -- for program option parsing
  -- for shared_ptr
- Reading strategies (choose between trading for cpu/memory)
- More C++ adapter work
- Rewriting the utilities into C++ and discard their direct port of LAStools (they are troublesome to maintain currently) - More documentation, using Sphinx to manage it, similar to the MapServer website http://mapserver.org/docs - A new utility, lasvalid, that will attempt to validate a 1.0/1.1/1.2 LAS file and tell you what might be wrong with it. This will be something more than the '-c' option of lasinfo. It will have options to validate header value domains, point value domains, and file layout.

Do you have any ideas for libLAS 1.3? Hope to contribute patches? Let us know what you think!
