[Paraview] ANNOUNCE: ParaView 3.4.0 released

[pat marion]

Hi Lester,

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe due to licensing
issues the binary distribution of ParaView does not include the Silo
reader.  If you download the 3.4 source distribution you can compile
paraview with the Silo reader enabled if your system has silo
development libraries installed.
