Hi Stephen,

Please post questions like this to the mailing list instead of 
replying to me directly.

After you type the new descriptive label, press Enter.  This entry 
does not go through the same "Accept" mechanism as the other controls 
(below the Accept, Reset, and Delete buttons) on the Parameters 
tab.  This is because the label is used by ParaView to make 
identifying the results of filters, etc. easier, but it is not used 
by VTK, the underlying toolkit used for ParaView's data processing.

>>13) Session state was being save wrong in client/server mode.  (bug #2655)
>>14) Addition of new plotting functionality: Data Analysis filter.

>>16) Get ParaView building on AIX.

>>6)   Change the default frame rate for movie files from 15 to 1. (bug #2557)

>>9)   Free memory as each frame of an MP2 is written.

>>15) Extract CTH Parts filter was crashing; if no geometry is

>>16) Caching of geometry during animation was broken.
