[Freegis-list] Announcing the release of libLAS 1.0.0

[Howard Butler]

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.

release or to http://liblas.org/wiki/Releases to find out more  
information about past unofficial releases.
