Announcing the release of libLAS 1.0.0

It is our pleasure to announce the first official release of libLAS.  
libLAS is a C/C++ library for reading and writing ASPRS LAS version  
1.0 and 1.1 data. LAS-formatted data is heavily used in LiDAR  
processing operations, and the LAS format is a sequential binary  
format used to store data from sensors and as intermediate processing  
storage by some applications.

libLAS provides multiple programming APIs (.NET, Python, C/C++) and  
commandline utilities for manipulating, creating, or reading LAS  
data.  libLAS is known to work on all editions of MSVC 7.1+ and GCC  
4.1+ on big- and little-endian architectures.  Windows binaries are  
provided via OSGeo4W and a zip package, and an autoconf-based source  
package can be used to build the software on various *nix platforms.

Please visit http://liblas.org/wiki/1.0.0 to obtain the current  
release or to http://liblas.org/wiki/Releases to find out more  
information about past unofficial releases.

Best regards,

The libLAS development team http://liblas.org/#authors

Maciej,

You are right. This is because we consider las2ogr as a semi-official or
semi-stable tool. Simply, it needs some work yet.
Anyway, I will try to prepare a short manual for this tool.

Maciej,

I've uploaded las2ogr.txt file with simple manual:

http://liblas.org/browser/trunk/doc/las2ogr.txt

It should be linked from the front page now.

Cool. Since I've started complaining -
http://liblas.org/browser/trunk/doc/las2txt.txt#usage mentions 't'
entry, yet it's missing from
http://liblas.org/browser/trunk/doc/las2txt.txt#supported-entries. Same
the las2txt --help.

Cheers!
Maciek
