Planned Schedule
- Preparation email: February 4th, 2010
- Create VTK-5-6 branch: TBD
- Release VTK 5.6.0: TBD
What's New in VTK 5.6?
New features in VTK since the 5.4 release include:
- Improved chart support
- Classes moved from vtkEdge (vtkGPUVolumeRayCastMapper & associated classes. What else?)
- 211 new C++ classes.
- 91 new C++ tests running on most dashboards
- 17 new C++ examples that demonstrate how to use VTK effectively.
- More robust EnSight reader.
- Addition of Tecplot reader.
- Accurate anti-jagginess streamline integrator
- Incremental / dynamic octree-based point locator for fast point location and insertion of non-uniformly distributed points (3 times faster than the previous version).
- Integration of robust cell location to vector evaluation on complex grids.
- High-performance table-based clipper for various kinds of grids (one to two orders of magnitude faster than the previous version).
- Addition of GPU-based real time Line Integral Convolution (LIC) with enhanced image contrast and LIC+geometry compositing for dense vector field / flow visualization.
