+
+-  PDAL now requires at least version 2.2 of GDAL.
+-  Pipelines can optionally be specified as an array of stages (without
+   an encapsulating “pipeline” object).
+-  The location of installed cmake files has been changed to match the
+   cmake convention.
+-  ``filters.delaunay`` now uses the delaunator library instead of
+   geogram.
+-  PDAL no longer depends on the GEOS library. However, some polygon
+   functions will not work if PDAL isn’t built with a version of the
+   GDAL library that has GEOS support.
+-  PDAL now uses the standard cmake script to locate the necessary GDAL
+   files when building.
+-  ``readers.sbet`` now reads angles as degrees rather than radians.
+   (#2354)
+-  The ``tindex`` command now requires one of the subcommands ``create``
+   or ``merge``. It no longer accepts the ``merge`` option, which has
+   been replaced by the ``merge`` subcommand.
+-  The argument for the function ``PipelineManager::executeStream`` is
+   now of type ``StreamPointTable&`` instead of ``FixedPointTable&``.

+Enhancements
+============

+-  All readers now accept the ``default_srs`` and ``override_srs``
+   options. ``override_srs`` is an alias for the existing
+   ``spatialreference`` option. ``default_srs`` applies only if no
+   spatial reference exists in the source file. (#2194, #2195)
+-  Added some dimension detection capability to ``readers.pts``. (#2317)
+-  The build system now has enhanced conflict detection of mixed python
+   2/3 installations. Make sure that you have header
+   files/libraries/interpreter/numpy support for either python 2 or
+   python 3.

+-  Support the ``libgeotiff`` path suffix when searching for the geotiff
+   library with cmake.
+-  Added a ``resolution`` option to ``readers.ept`` to limit the number
+   of points read. (#2331)
+-  ``readers.rxp`` now supports stream mode.

+New stages
+==========
+
+-  ``filters.mongo`` - Filtering of points using the mongo expression
+   language.
+-  ``readers.tiledb`` - Reads points from the tileDB database.
+-  ``writers.tiledb`` - Writes points to the tileDB database.
+-  ``writers.ept_addon`` - Adds sidecar data to an existing EPT dataset.

+Deprecated stages
+=================
+
+-  ``filters.kdistance`` - Replaced by ``filters.nndistance``.
+   ``filters.kdistance`` will be removed in the next PDAL release.
+-  ``filters.mongus`` - Replaces by ``filters.pmf`` and ``filters.smrf``
+
+.. _bug-fixes-1:
+
+Bug fixes
+=========
+
+-  The tindex command now uses sufficient precision when using the
+   ``fast_boundary`` option (#2271)
+-  ``filters.smrf`` and ``filters.pmf`` now process all points if the
+   ``NumberOfReturns`` or ``ReturnNumber`` dimension is missing. This
+   fixes a regression introduced with PDAL 1.8. (#2275)
+-  The density command is now found by pdal. This fixes a regression
+   introduced with PDAL 1.8. (#2378)
+-  The ``scale=auto`` and ``offset=auto`` options now work with
+   ``writers.bpf`` in stream mode. (#1983)
+-  Pipelines with diamond shapes now properly re-execute ancestor
+   stages. This fixes a regression introduced with PDAL 1.8. (#2290)
+-  ``filters.crop`` now uses the correct logic when the ``outside``
+   option is used in standard mode. (#2305)
+-  A bug in ``writers.gdal`` with streaming mode that caused an improper
+   location shift in some instances has been fixed. (#2292)
+-  Added an explicit dependency on the arbiter library for curl. This
+   fixes build issues on some Unix platforms. (#1822)
+-  Fixed a bug in ``filters.icp`` introduced by a change in PCL (see:
+   https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/issues/2724) that improperly
+   removed a function call. (#2319)
+-  ``readers.tindex`` now provides a default of “EPSG:4326” for the
+   ``filter_srs`` option. (#2316)
+-  Points in buffer corners are now properly placed in tiles in
+   ``filters.splitter``. (#2372)
+-  Fixed reference counting in ``filters.python`` that might have caused
+   a crash in some circumstances.
+-  Generalized the python library re-loaded by PDAL when being used as a
+   python extension. This is only relevant on some Unix distributions.
