Revision history [back]

As mentioned by tfoote, PCL 1.7 is not yet released. However, there is the "trunk version" of PCL which is not yet considered stable and mature, but will eventually become PCL 1.7.

If you want to use the trunk version, the easiest way is to install it alongside PCL version 1.5 which you already have. See the package provided at http://www.ros.org/wiki/pcl17 which checks out and compiles the current trunk version. You can then use either the ROS PCl (1.5) residing in the pcl namespace or use PCL trunk (pcl17 namespace).
