v2.0.0

The most important feature in this release is the addition of support for reading and writing the LAZ compressed LiDAR format for all of the LiDAR tools in WBT.

  • Added the RasterCalculator tool for performing complex mathematical operations on input rasters.
  • Added the ConditionalEvaluation tool for performing an if-then-else operation on an input raster.
  • Added the EdgeContamination tool to identify grid cells for which the upslope area extends beyond the data extent.
  • Added the ExposureTowardsWind tool.
  • Added the QuinnFlowAccumulation tool to perform a Quinn et al. (1995) flow accumulation operation.
  • Added the QinFlowAccumulation tool to perform a Qin et al. (2007) flow accumulation operation.
  • Added the Rho8FlowAccumulation tool to perform a Fairfield and Leymarie (1991) flow accumulation operation.
  • LidarHistogram now allows a GPS time parameter, which can be useful for determining the number of flightlines in a LiDAR tile.
  • Fixed a bug with the Resample tool that created an artifact when resampling to resolutions less than one meter.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented plugin tools from being discovered by the open-core when run from the command line on PATH when the working directory was something other than WBT.
  • Fixed several bugs in the ContoursFromPoints tool.
  • Fixed the z_factor calculation for large-extent DEMs in geographic coordinates for the geomorphometric shape metric tools, e.g., slope, aspect, hillshade, and curvatures. The new approach calculates a different z_factor conversion value for each row in the raster, rather than using a single value based on the raster mid-point latitude. This should help improve the accuracy of these shape indices on large-extent rasters in geographic coordinate systems.
  • Fixed several bugs in the Isobasins and D8FlowAccumulation tool.
  • The NewRasterFromBase tool now accepts a vector base file (and grid cell size) as well as a raster.
  • The WhiteboxTools User Manual has had a refresh and is now hosted at: https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/manual/wbt_book/intro.html.
  • We have added numerous tools to the WhiteboxTools Extensions.
