[pgpointcloud] pointcloud version and variant

[Lars]

Thank you for the feedback.

The source of the current bundle95x64_2.3.0.1 is unknown.

The http://postgis.net/windows_downloads/ contains PostGIS 2.3.7 and 2.4.4 installer which both includes pgpointcloud 1.1.0 (dev). Does pgpointcloud component contain both pointcloud and pointcloud_postgis extensions? What does the version "1.1.0 (dev)" mean in reference to the version numbers used by the extensions?

It would be really nice if pgpointcloud could contain more detailed information about build options (GHT/LAZPERF) and git commit id for each extension.

kind regards, Lars

Actually pointcloud and pointcloud_postgis are separate extensions, and
their versionning is also separate. I would agree that this is very
confusing and it that it should be changed.

Anyway your problem is not related to this version mismatch. Most
probably you're using Pointcloud code that just doesn't have the
PC_EnvelopeGeometry function. Where did you get bundle95x64_2.3.0.1
from? Is this the most recent bundle you can get?

PC_EnvelopeGeometry is mentioned in the Pointcloud README file on
GitHub because that README file corresponds to the latest code in the
master branch. It's just the way it is right now. Pointcloud doesn't
provide a versionned documentation.

I think we really need to create a new official release of Pointcloud,
and see if the people taking care of Windows builds/bundles can package it again.

Cheers,
