Hi Folks, I posted the September snapshot of ParaView III. This snapshot includes binaries for Windows, Linux (32 and 64 bit) and Mac OS X. For those who have issues running the binaries, who cannot find the binary for their system or who want to see/modify the source code, source archives are also included. New features to look out for include: * Improved multi-view support: Try creating, destroying, maximizing, restoring and moving views. To move a view, click on it's toolbar and drag onto another view's toolbar. * Improved server connection and start dialog * Improved selection: Try turning on the element inspector before selecting, (View -> Element Inspector) * More toolbar buttons including those for manipulating camera. Better icons are coming soon * Separate camera undo/redo buttons for each view * Dialog for changing application and view settings (Edit -> Settings) * Capability to disconnect from server while saving an animation Also check out: * Custom filter dialog (tutorial coming) * Undo/redo * Custom reader/filter panels (try exodos reader, cut and clip) * Python scripting There is still very little documentation. Look at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_III to get more information on the new features. We will continue adding more documentation to this page as we progress.

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. -Berk

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
