WhiteboxTools v0.16.0

Version 0.16.0 (24-05-2019)

• Added the MergeLineSegments and SphericalStdDevOfNormals tools.
• Fixed a bug with reading LAS files with point records with extra bytes. Previously, the LAS decoder
  assumed the Point Record Length matched that of the LAS specifications (with the variable of the
  optional intensity and user data). Some LAS files in the wild (particularly those created using
  LASTools and of LAS version 1.2) have larger Point Record Lengths, which presumably carry extra
  bytes of information. These extra byes are ignored, but they no longer throw off the decoding.
• Fixed a bug with writing Big-Ending GeoTIFF files. The 'MM' file header was not correct previously.
• Significantly reduced the memory requirements of the StochasticDepressionAnalysis tool. The tool
  may be somewhat slower as a result, but it should be applicable to larger DEMs than was previously
  possible.
• Fixed bugs with the Union and SplitWithLines tools.
• WhiteboxTools can now read and write Shapefiles of MultiPointZ, PolyLineZ, and PolygonZ ShapeTypes
  missing the optional 'M' values (i.e. measures).
• SelectTilesByPolygon and LidarTileFootprint are now compatible with LAZ file inputs. Both of these
  tools only rely on information in the input LiDAR file's header, which is the same for a LAZ file
  as a LAS file.
• Fixed a bug with writing Saga GIS files (*.sdat) that inverted rasters.
