[Paraview] Announcing ParaView III

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Folks,

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. A Windows binary can be downloaded at 
http://paraview.org/files/v2.9/paraview-2.9.0-win32-x86.exe.

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
