   * -j option which allows the use of Z values for filtering of points, yet performs statistical analysis on the intensity values
   * intensity_range and intensity_scale to filter and modify intensity values
-  * significant documentation improvements
   * 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)
-  * -n flag to set region according to the newly created raster (useful with -e flag)
-  * bug fix for low memory processing option
-  * bug fix for extremely large rasters
-  * -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.
  * G72:r.mapcalc - fixed bug when some uses of neighborhood modifier gave wrong result (#3067)
  * G72:v.in.lidar
-  * id_layer, return_layer, class_layer, rgb_layer to store point attributes as layers and categories
   * point cloud decimation (skip, preserve) and subset import (offset, limit)
   * vector mask to limit import to given areas (mask, mask_layer, -i for mask inversion)
-  * -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.
-  * general improvements to handle large amounts of points
-  * zrange option to filter out points based on height
-  * -v to use only valid points. This is a change of behavior. Previously, invalid points were always ignored.

However, if invalid points are present, user gets a warning message.
  * 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)
  * G72:d.barscale - new option to specify length and units, custom label possible (done within GSoC 2016)

  * [https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/topics.html Topics index page] is shorter and and easier to navigate because it does not link to topics with less than three modules
  * Topics pages link to the corresponding keyword at the end of the list (link sending somewhere else right at the beginning of the page was misleading)
