v0.9.0-beta.0

[gadomski]

Hey folks, I've done some significant refactoring of the library in preparation for a v0.9.0 release. Because there's so many changes, I thought I'd do a beta first to get feedback. A listing of the changes is in the CHANGELOG and is copied below. Your feedback would be appreciated — I've done my best to deprecate instead of remove, but I'm sure something will break. 🍻

I'll probably wait a week or so before releasing v0.9.0 (if there's no significant changes to the release).

0.9.0-beta.0

Added

• Several methods in Reader (#89)
  • Reader::read_point, which returns a Result<Option<Point>>
  • Reader::read_points
  • Reader::read_points_into
  • Reader::read_all_points_into
• Writer::write_point, Header::write_to, laz module, a few laz-specific methods on Header (#90)

Changed

• Reorganize reading, including removing the lifetime specifier on Reader (#89)
• Conslidate errors to a single enum (#87)

Fixed

• Start of first EVLR (#91)

Deprecated

• Read trait (#88)
• Write trait (#90)
• Many methods on Reader (#89)
  • read in favor of read_point
  • read_n in favor of read_points
  • read_n_into in favor of read_points_into
  • read_all_points in favor of read_all_points_into
• Writer::write (#90)

Kia ora Pete,

Just tried to upgrade this to 0.9.1 from 0.8.8 in a small script I had written. When trying to pass a reader to closure (i'm trying to use a threads) I get the following error:

the trait Send is not implemented for (dyn reader::ReadPoints + 'static), which is required by {closure@src\lib.rs:164:24: 164:54}: Send

It's probably a mistake on my end but just leaving this here in case you have some ideas!

Cheers

I updated my script to create the reader in the thread ( by passing the las path to the thread) and it works fine now.
