[Liblas-devel] 1.0.1 Release

[Howard Butler]

All,

2/4/09

I am pleased to announce the release of libLAS 1.0.1.  1.0.1 mostly  
improves the Python bindings, along with adding a liblas-config script.

- #82: http://liblas.org/ticket/82 Python bindings missing get/set  
intensity
- #83: http://liblas.org/ticket/83 Support fractional seconds in the  
Python bindings
- #84: http://liblas.org/ticket/84 Improve LASPoint::equal
- #89: http://liblas.org/ticket/89 Python liblas.version did not work
- #88: http://liblas.org/ticket/88 liblas-config script to provide  
library/include locations to software wishing to link to libLAS
- #86: http://liblas.org/ticket/86 las2txt M option allowing the index  
number of the point to be included in the output

See http://liblas.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=1.0.1 
  for more information.

For Windows users, the OSGeo4W packages contains the Python bindings,  
command-line utilities (including las2ogr), and development packages.   
Unless you plan to embed libLAS in your own software, you should use  
OSGeo4W.  Also, OSGeo4W provides you with a lot of other goodies like  
GDAL which you might find quite useful.

For everyone else, there is only the source package.  libLAS is a  
generic GNU autoconf/autotools project, however, and building libLAS  
is as simple as ./configure;make;make install.
