[Liblas-devel] libLAS 1.0.0 Final Released

[Etienne Bellemare Racine]

Good news ! You did a great job, let's hope that this project will bring 
more open source tools for LIDAR. Let's hope it is not only the end of 
your hard work to get the first version of libLAS, but also the 
beginning of new projects. Congratulations !

Etienne

> efforts, such as Debian and Fink are welcome to package libLAS, and I 
> hope it attracts their attention.
