Daniel is going to send out the official release info soon, but I wanted to mention here that the new Mac OS X version (2.5.2) contains two new plugins.
I starting looking into compiling the Poisson surface mesh reconstruction plugin again, and it turned out that Daniel was upgrading the Poisson library at the same time. After banging my head against C++ templates for a while I finally figured out how to fix it to compile on Mac OS X. Daniel integrated those changes and a couple for Linux, so this 2.5.2 release has the Poisson surface mesh reconstruction plugin included in the build.
This build also includes Daniel's new surface of revolution analysis plugin for comparing a point cloud and a surface of revolution.
You can download the DMG which includes both the CloudCompare and ccViewer apps from my software page.
As with the official releases, please report any problems with these versions either through the github interface or here in the forums.
Have a good xmas everyone!
