[Paraview] ANN: ParaView 3.12.0 RC-2 available for download

Thu Oct 6 13:13:39 EDT 2011

Hello,

just tested it on linux 64bit with openfoam decomposed data.
Making a slice and applying "Surface Vectors" results in a Segmentation 
fault.

It would be great to fix this in the 3.12.

Best Regards
Fabian
