Changes of Note

GDAL VSI Support

@​normanb added support for GDAL VSI in #​4647. It is now possible to use VSI to control access to remote content. Any /vsi-prefixed file path will go through GDAL's VSI layer.

pdal info \
    /vsicurl/https://github.com/PDAL/data/raw/refs/heads/main/autzen/autzen-classified.copc.laz \
    --readers.copc.resolution=1000

FileSpec Support

@​trns1997 and @​ibell13 added support for "FileSpec" in #​4633 and #​4625. FileSpec allows you to add a JSON node with filename, headers, and query members to control access to remote content. FileSpec uses non-VSI remote file access, so any http:// or s3:// -prefixed URLs will use this access system.

[
  {
    "type": "readers.copc",
    "filename": {
      "path": "https://some/remote/file.laz",
      "headers": {
        "headerkey": "headerval"
      },
      "query": {
        "querykey": "queryval"
      }
    }
  }

nlohmann Public API removal

https://github.com/nlohmann/json unfortunately changed its primary data type and broke the usage pattern that PDAL and others had been using to forward declare and use it. Initially reported by @​jgrocha in #​4706, it was decided to completely remove nlohmann from PDAL's public API to prevent downstream PDAL users compilation from breaking in the future when they are also using nlohmann in their APIs. See (#​4721, #​4722, #​4723, #​4724, #​4725, #​4727, #​4728, #​4731) for details.
