One big change in this release is that the dependency boost-filesystem is now optional if you compile PCL and your own project that uses PCL as C++17 (e.g. by adding -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 -DCMAKE_CUDA_STANDARD=17 to the cmake call). The default C++ standard for PCL is currently still C++14, where boost-filesystem is a hard requirement. Some modules will not be built if boost-filesystem is not available (currently recognition, outofcore, some apps). Big thanks to @cybaol for implementing this, and of course also thanks to everyone else who contributed to this release!

PCL 1.12.0 enables custom index size and type, from int16_t to uint64_t, allowing
users to have as small or large clouds as they wish. 1.12 also comes with improved
support for VTK, Qhull, and CUDA, along with making existing functionality more user friendly.

This is all on top of the usual bug-fixes and performance improvements across the board.

VTK warnings that might appear are due to internal deprecations, but users should check issue #4830 for more details regarding future proofing their code.
