All,

11/05/2010

The libLAS team is pleased to announce the release of libLAS 1.6.0b2.  The 
OSGeo4W build has been refreshed to beta2 as well, so the cross-heap issues 
should be fixed for those who were having trouble.

A number of improvements, fixes, and features have been added since beta 1.  A 
short 
list includes:

- --point-translate option for las2las
- --extent option for filtering can now take negative values :)
- libLAS C++ DLL/.so is built and classes are now exported.  
  This is used for Windows utilities as well
- It's now possible to override the header's scale values as part of a 
ReprojectionTransform 
- lasinfo summary display respects header's scale values to define precision
- CachedReaderImpl's mask generation is delayed until we attempt to read the 
first point 
  to eliminate running out of memory when asking for the Reader's header 
multiple times.
- Cleanups of a number of direct comparison of float/double values to use 
epsilon testing
- More header transformation options for las2las
- lasinfo and las2las are now completely revised.  lasinfo-old and las2las-old 
are 
  still preserved for processing that needs to use the old syntax (The new ones 
are much faster, btw. 
  You should use them :)
- ts2las now build by default.  This utility will be updated to behave like the 
  new las2las and lasinfo in the near future.
- A number of others.  See the log at http://hg.liblas.org/main
- Numerous indexing enhancements 

Thanks to all who provided bug reports and patches!
