    initial v1  
    22> As of 2018, libLAS has been replaced by the [https://pdal.io/ PDAL] project and it is in hibernation or maintenance mode. libLAS does not provide support for LAS or LAZ 1.4, which PDAL does. PDAL also provides support for many more formats, the notion of [https://www.pdal.io/pipeline.html PDAL pipelines], Python support, and has packages for OSGeo4W, !Docker/Ubuntu/Alpine, and OSX Homebrew. Additionally, libLAS’ Python capabilities are much better expressed by the pure-Python [http://laspy.org laspy] library, and if manipulating LAS data in Python is your ultimate desire, use that instead of libLAS.

    4 The liblas package has been from Debian, and hence the grass package is only built with pdal. Because the grass package in UbuntuGIS uses the same source as Debian it likewise no longer supports liblas.
