We're thrilled to announce that Point Cloud Library (PCL) version 1.2 has been released!

You can find the latest source and binaries on our download page: http://www.pointclouds.org/downloads/.

Thanks to the hard work of all of our awesome contributors, we've got a big list of new features.

In addition, our Ubuntu package structure has been completely reorganized:

• pcl 1.0 was renamed to pcl-1.0. To stick with the old version please run:

  $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libpcl-1.0-dev

• pcl 1.2 is now available as separate packages for every subsystem
• the Doxygen documentation is in packages in libpcl-1.2-doc
• there is a default package that depends on the current PCL release to get the newest release all the time just do:

  $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libpcl-all
