Good job on the 5.2.0 release team!  Here is feedback from one of my power users:

Sources/ Ruler has been enhanced - Yay!
A generic Edit/ Reload Files menu option has been added - Yay!
Anti-aliasing for lines is available through Edit/ Settings/  Render View / Use FXAA - Yay!
Hidden line removal has been enhanced and is now available. - Yay!

Thanks for working to get these improvements in there,

Subject: ParaView 5.2.0 release

ParaView 5.2.0 has been released by Kitware and is now installed and the is default here at Sandia on the SRN and SCN LANs. ParaView is a scientific visualization application installed at Sandia.

Standalone installs for, Windows, OS X and Linux are being worked on, and will be available for download within a week.

ParaView 5.2.0 is medium level upgrade, with the following enhancements that stand out to me.

Sources/ Ruler has been enhanced, allowing users to measure distances between points or cells.  Try turning on Auto Apply, and the ruler will automatically update.  Also, hitting the number 1 sets the beginning placement for the ruler, 2 sets the ending point for the ruler.  There are also many improvements still to come with this tool.

A generic Edit/ Reload Files menu option has been added.  This works on all readers.

Anti-aliasing for lines is available through Edit/ Settings/  Render View / Use FXAA.  This works local and remote server.  I hope to have this turned on by default soon.

Hidden line removal has been enhanced and is now available.  Find this at the bottom of the Properties tab - Hidden Line Removal.  Test with Sources/ Wavelet, then render with Wireframe.  This fails on large data, remote server, which is why it is turned off by default.

Kitware's release notes for 5.2.0 are located here:  https://blog.kitware.com/paraview-5-2-0-release-notes/, as well as through the ParaView help menu.

Thanks,

Alan
