Planned Schedule
- Announcement email: January 28, 2008
- Create VTK-5-2 branch: end of February, 2008
- Fix bugs in priority order: through the end of March, 2008
- Stabilize the dashboards and release the first release candidate for VTK 5.2: early April, 2008
What's New in VTK 5.2?
New features in VTK since the 5.0 release include:
- Infovis kit
- Views kit
- New Widgets architecture and more than a dozen new widgets
- New Utilities: freerange, verdict, libxml2, metaio, sqlite
- Updated Utilities: freetype, zlib
- More than 300 new C++ classes.
- More than 100 new C++ tests running on most dashboards
- Many bug fixes, including much improved Java wrapping support and Mac OSX support
API Changes
vtkProp::RenderTranslucentGeometry() has been broken down into 3 methods:
- HasTranslucentPolygonalGeometry()
- RenderTranslucentPolygonalGeometry()
- RenderVolumetricGeometry()
Here is what to change in a vtkProp subclass:
- If RenderTranslucentGeometry() was used to render translucent polygonal geometry only, override HasTranslucentPolygonalGeometry() and RenderTranslucentPolygonalGeometry().
- If RenderTranslucentGeometry() was used to render translucent volumetric geometry only, override RenderVolumetricGeometry().
- If RenderTranslucentGeometry() was used to render translucent polygonal geometry and translucent volumetric geometry, override all 3 methods.
