MeshLab 2020.06 released


01/06/2020

MeshLab 2020.06 is out! You can download in the download section, or in the github release page.

Changelog:
Due to the deprecation of QtScript and all the issues related to it, we are dropping from MeshLab the support to XML plugins, and therefore all the XML plugins have been transformed to classic plugins in this MeshLab version. The involved plugins are:

  • Screened Poisson;
  • Measure;
  • Voronoi;
  • Mutualinfo;
  • Sketchfab;

Due to this porting, all old .mlx MeshLab scripts that involve one of these plugins may not work on MeshLab and MeshLabServer 2020.06. Starting from MeshLab 2020. 07, XML plugins won't compile anymore and they cannot be loaded anymore.

26/3/2020

We are happy to annouce that MeshLab 2020.03 is out! We set up an automatic system on our Github repository to automatically release a MeshLab version every first day of the month. Ultimate release can be found in the release page.

Note for Windows version: before installing MeshLab 2020.03, please uninstall manually any old MeshLab version. This is a known bug of the installer and will be fixed as soon as possible in future versions.
