    v12 v13  
    5656==== Major module changes ====
    5757
    58  * G72:r.in.lidar - base_raster option which allows for the conversion to LAS file Z values to height above ground using an existing elevation raster, -j option which allows the use of Z values for filtering of points, yet performs statistical analysis on the intensity values
     58 * G72:r.in.lidar
     59  * base_raster option which allows for the conversion to LAS file Z values to height above ground using an existing elevation raster. Additionally, with -d a base_raster is used in its native resolution to enable performing statistics on with coarse resolution while reducing the heights of point using the base_raster in its full resolution.
     60  * -j option which allows the use of Z values for filtering of points, yet performs statistical analysis on the intensity values
     61  * intensity_range and intensity_scale to filter and modify intensity values
     62  * significant documentation improvements
     63  * file option to specify list of files (file paths) in a text file (merges multiple LAS files on input as if it would be one file)
     64  * -n flag to set region according to the newly created raster (useful with -e flag)
     65  * bug fix for low memory processing option
     66  * bug fix for extremely large rasters
     67  * -v to import use only valid points. This is a change of behavior. Previously, invalid points were always ignored. The behavior was removed because of unclear definition of invalid point in libLAS library. No invalid points are filtered out only when requested which makes it consistent with other filters. However, if invalid points are present, user gets a warning message.
     68 * G72:v.in.lidar
     69  * id_layer, return_layer, class_layer, rgb_layer to store point attributes as layers and categories
     70  * point cloud decimation (skip, preserve) and subset import (offset, limit)
     71  * vector mask to limit import to given areas (mask, mask_layer, -i for mask inversion)
     72  * -c flag to not add unique IDs as category to each point. More points than the category number limit can be imported. This also requires less space on disk and time during import.
     73  * general improvements to handle large amounts of points
     74  * zrange option to filter out points based on height
     75  * -v to use only valid points. This is a change of behavior. Previously, invalid points were always ignored. The behavior was removed because of unclear definition of invalid point in libLAS library. No invalid points are filtered out only when requested which makes it consistent with other filters. However, if invalid points are present, user gets a warning message.
    5976 * G72:d.legend - added option to show background, show ticks, more control over labels, added title, possible to switch to logarithmic (done within GSoC 2016)
    6077 * G72:d.barscale - new option to specify length and units, custom label possible (done within GSoC 2016)
    6178 * G72:d.northarrow - added rotation option, more symbols available (done within GSoC 2016)
    6279 * ...
