Announcement

Hi Folks,

I posted the August snapshot of ParaView. You can download it here: (see links above)

...

We regularly compile and run Windows, Linux and MacOS X.

Please note that this is a development snapshot and may contain bugs. We have
removed some of the limitations in this snapshot. It is now possible to access
some of the features in development including multiple frames, all
readers/sources/filters, python shell (requires compilation from source).

There is still very little documentation. We will focus on that before the
actual release.

Announcement

Hi Folks,

I posted the june snapshot of ParaView 2.9 (to be 3.0) on the web. 
There are binaries for linux (x86) and windows. Make sure you download 2.9.1.
2.9.0 is the snapshot from May. I also uploaded an exodus file
(disk_out_ref.exo). It is good file to play with to see some of the new features.

Some new features to look for (in no particular order):

* Support for more file formats (exodus reader is still the one that is tested
and customized best)
* Statistics view
* Two undo/redo stacks: 1. pipeline operations (ctrl+z, ctrl+r) 2. view
operation (ctrl+b, ctrl+f)
* Visibility control on the pipeline inspector
* Selection (still at alpha, use toolbar buttons or 's' key to switch between
interaction & selection)
* Support for more sources
* Support for contour and streamlines filters
* Support for saving & loading state
* Saving screenshot
* Saving animation. Very alpha. It only support creating animations from readers
that support time (File->Save Animation)
* Bug fixes

We are working on:

* Readers/filters
* Custom filters (being able to create custom filters by selection part of a
pipeline, saving, loading and instantiating them)
* Full featured animation
* Colormap editor
* Application/3D view settings
* Python interface
* Selection
* Server connection interface

Longer term:

* Support for multiple views
* Client side plotting using Qt widgets (2D plots, histogram)
* Multiple server connection
* Multiple client connection

Some of these features are already in alpha stage and are enabled in the CVS
development tree. I disabled them to make binaries. Use the snapshots and CVS at
your own risk. I would not recommend using 2.9 for production use. Bug reports
are obviously welcome.

Announcement

Kitware, Sandia National Labs and Elemental Technologies have been working on
ParaView 3.0 for a few months. ParaView 3.0 will have a myriad of new features
including a brand new interface. This interface is based on the Qt library
(http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt) and is designed to be easy to use and
elegant. Paraview 3.0 will also have a greatly expanded emphasis on quantitative
analysis, with lots of plotting, graphing, and linked views. We have our first
development snapshot.

Currently, we are working on a separate CVS repository so the source code for
the Qt interface is not yet available. We will open this CVS repository soon and
we will merge the two repositories sometime in the future, most probably before
the release of ParaView 2.6 in Q4 of 2006.

Please keep in mind that this is not even a beta but more a development
snapshot. We expect the development will take several more months. Comments and
feedback are as usual welcome.

Regards,
ParaView Team
