 Generic spatial indexing

-A octree-based spatial index is being developed for libLAS to speed up random,

+A octree-based spatial index was developed for libLAS to speed up random,

+Rewritten :ref:`lasinfo <lasinfo>` and :ref:`las2las <las2las>` 
+..............................................................................
+
+:ref:`lasinfo <lasinfo>` and :ref:`las2las <las2las>` have been completely 
+rewritten to take advantage of faster access and summary methods within the 
+libLAS C++ API.  In addition to nearly double the speed of the previous 
+libLAS-provided lasinfo and las2las implementations, both applications 
+gained a number of features including much more expressive filtering and 
+more detailed header and file transformation.  The old versions of :ref:`lasinfo <lasinfo_old>` 
+and :ref:`las2las <las2las_old>` are still available to people who have 
+embedded them in processes and applications.  They are now called ``lasinfo-old`` and 
+``las2las-old``.
