The March 20, 2022 version of the Windows 10 Anaconda 3 binary is available here.

The corresponding Anaconda3 configuration is described in the README.

This version brings the following features:

• Add access to plugin PCV (ShadeVis) on Windows and Linux (issue #24). See test032.py.
• Add access to plugin HPR on Windows and Linux (issue#25). See test033.py.
• Add access to plugin MeshBoolean on Windows and Linux. See test034.py.
• The wrapping of the C2M and C2C algorithms has been rewritten. In some situations, the results were wrong (issue #26). Methods have been added or rewritten to facilitate parameterization that gives correct performance: ComputeApproxDistance methods with statistics, method for estimating the correct octree level. Automatic tests (test009.py, test010.py, test022.py) have been adapted. The performance tests (on Linux) shows no degradation between the GUI and CloudComPy.
• Various improvements and bug fixes.

Corresponding git tag CloudComPy_master_20220320.

WARNING: the lastest updates of conda packages are no more compatible with this binary (and older ones): If you have a working conda environment for a recent CloudComPy binary, keep it! In case of problems look at the conda list and compare it with the output of conda list command in the conda CloudCompy39 environment. Major version changes may induce problems.

If you need to create or recreate the CloudCompy39 conda environment please use the following (warning: commands are slightly different between Linux and Windows):

conda update -y -n base -c defaults conda
conda activate
conda create -y --name CloudComPy39 python=3.9
   # --- erase previous env if existing
conda activate CloudComPy39
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install -y "boost=1.72" "cgal=5.0" cmake "ffmpeg=4.3" "gdal=3.3" "jupyterlab=3.2" "matplotlib=3.5" "mysql=8.0" "numpy=1.22" "opencv=4.5" "openmp=8.0" "pcl=1.11" "pdal=2.3" "psutil=5.9" "qt=5.12" "scipy=1.8" "sphinx_rtd_theme=1.0" "spyder=5.2" "tbb=2021.5" "tbb-devel=2021.5" "xerces-c=3.2"

The February 17, 2022 version of the Windows 10 Anaconda 3 binary is available here.

The corresponding Anaconda3 configuration is described in the README.

This version brings the following features:

• Allow keyword arguments on methods with optional arguments, to avoid to fill a long list of default values (issue #20). See for instance test025.py in doc/PythonAPI/test025.py, where the methods have about 20 arguments with only two mandatory. The keyword arguments are not yet implemented on methods without optional arguments.
• Debug traces from C++ are extended to messages from CloudCompare (the same we get on the CloudCompare GUI console). Need the environment variable CCTRACE=ON
• Fix several problems related to las driver (issue #20):
  • - On Linux, set the locale to C (same as default US locale) to avoid conversion problems from string to float.
  • - The latest version of PDAL (2.3.0) is more restrictive on dimension names than 2.1.0.
• Python package restructuration to handle properly the standard plugins: to get access to the wrapped methods of a plugin, this plugin must be explicitely imported: see for instance doc/PythonAPI/test030.py (plugin M3C2) the plugin M3C2 is the only standard plugin wrapped for the moment (issue #16).
• Add some features to Rasterization (issue #21)
• Various improvements and bug fixes.
