<div dir="ltr">Lester,<div><br></div><div>ParaView 4.4 won't have any major OpenGL related changes so it should work on platforms ParaView 4.3 or earlier worked. ParaView 5 (with its use of OpenGL 2.1/3.2 features) should indeed still work on Windows 7/8 with relatively modern drivers. Note, OpenGL 3.2 is still quite old (~2009). If you're using remote-desktop, however, you may want to switch to using VNC. Remote desktop uses a software OpenGL implementation, which (when last I checked) was only OpenGL 1.1 compatible.</div><div><br></div><div>(cc-ing Ken to correct me if I am mistaken)</div><div><br></div><div>Utkarsh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 6:50 PM Lester Anderson <<a href="mailto:arctica1963@gmail.com">arctica1963@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>With reference to OpenGL, will the new updates via 4,4 or 5 be compatible with Windows 7(or 8) or does it expect a newer version of OpenGL on the target system?<br></div>thanks<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 July 2015 at 19:29, Utkarsh Ayachit <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com" target="_blank">utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:13.1999998092651px;line-height:19.7999992370605px">Folks,</span><div style="font-size:13.1999998092651px;line-height:19.7999992370605px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13.1999998092651px;line-height:19.7999992370605px">Since we're getting close to the next release, I just wanted to send out an email to let everyone know how we're planning to do the next release.</div><div style="font-size:13.1999998092651px;line-height:19.7999992370605px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13.1999998092651px;line-height:19.7999992370605px">+ We'll do a ParaView 4.4 release will all features/fixes planned for the next release.
