[Paraview] ANNOUNCE: ParaView 3.4.0 released

[Lester Anderson]

Hi Pat
 
Sounds somewhat confusing. If the program is advertised as having a reader for SILO files it should be more clearly stated that it is only available if you compile the code yourself - I only use the binary windows distribution.
 
Hopefully more file formats will be available, in the binary (windows) distribution at a future release.
 
Thanks for the clarrification
