Hi Utkarsh,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For those of us maintaining our own ParaView builds (and also our own set of custom-built plugins), it would be great if you can provide a document specifically outlining breaking changes in v5.0 for the Plugin API, differences in required library
versions or different flags for compiling ParaView etc. Comments on changes for compiling with OSMesa (if any) are also welcome.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Other than that, kudos for following the dual approach with releasing 4.4/5.0 simultaneously. This is certainly going to make things much easier for us in the transition process, as it allows us to verify if things breaking on our side are due
to new features or due to the new backend.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Regards,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>

The main reason for this separation would be to have a fallback in case showstopper issues are noticed with the major rendering changes and for legacy systems that don't have a newer OpenGL.</div>

testing code) and hence the upgrade to Qt 5 has been tabled for now.</span></div>
