WhiteboxTools v0.11.0

This release is marked by the addition of several vector data processing capabilities. Most notably, this includes support for TINing and TIN based gridding (vector and LiDAR), as well as several vector patch shape indicies. The following tools were added to the project:

• AddPointCoordinatesToTable
• CentroidVector
• CompactnessRatio
• ConstructVectorTIN
• ElongationRatio
• ExtendVectorLines
• HoleProportion
• LayerFootprint
• LidarConstructVectorTIN
• LidarTINGridding
• LinesToPolygons
• Medoid
• MinimumBoundingCircle
• MinimumBoundingEnvelope
• MultiPartToSinglePart
• PerimeterAreaRatio
• PolygonArea
• PolygonPerimeter
• RasterStreamsToVector
• RasterToVectorPoints
• RelatedCircumscribingCircle
• RemovePolygonHoles
• ShapeComplexityIndex
• SinglePartToMultiPart
• SmoothVectors
• SumOverlay
• TINGridding

Other Changes

• Added a minimum number of neighbours criteria in the neighbourhood search of the
  LidarGroundPointFilter tool. In this way, if the fixed-radius search yields fewer
  neighbours than this minimum neighbours threshold, a second kNN search is carried
  out to identify the k nearest neighbours. This can be preferable for cases where
  the point density varies significantly in the data set, e.g. in the case of
  terrestrial LiDAR point clouds.
• The MinimumBoundingBox tool has been modified to take an optional minimization
  criteria, including minimum box area, length, width, or perimeter.
• Fixed: Bug that resulted in a 0.5 m offset in the positioning of interpolated grids.
• Fixed: Viewshed tool now emits an intelligible error when the viewing station does
  not overlap with the DEM.
