[Liblas-devel] ARSF LiDAR Analysis GUI

[Berin Smaldon]

Hi again,

I was disappointed to find that the previous developer had just added a
function to check the filename ending for ".las" or ".LAS" to decide
whether a given file is a LAS file or not. I have added .laz and .LAZ
for the time being, and merged the changes into the testing branch,
where LAG now appears to load LAZ files without a single hiccup.

I should hope to change this in future.

For the meantime, anyone who wants this functionality can use git to use
the hotfix:
git clone git at github.com:arsf/lag.git
git checkout testing
*compile as usual*
