WARNING CloudComPy is now built with pybind11 instead of Boost.Python. For the CloudComPy user, the Python scripts are unchanged, but there is always the possibility of small changes in the behaviour of the code or bugs not covered by the tests. (if so, please post issues).

This version brings the following features:

CloudComPy is built with Python 3.10 instead of Python 3.9
update to CloudCompare master > 2.12.4 (september 15, 2022)
(issue #53) update pdal version to 2.4.2: needs conda Python 3.10. Works on Linux and Windows
(issue #54) fix the bug on save scalar fields with laz 1.4 -test added on extra scalar field saved an correctly loaded, see test020.py
