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

[Ivo Roghair]

Hi,

I'm encountering a segfault with 3.12 RC2 when I load a .vtu file with
multiple 'pieces'. I'm writing my VTU files in ascii, I've included
two files; one with just a single piece which works just fine in all
released versions from 3.4 to 3.12, and one with two pieces, actually
just a copy of the first piece, which works fine in 3.10.1, but
segfaults 3.12RC2.

I've got another dataset with 40 pieces which are all different but
it's a bit large (6 MB compressed), in case someone is interested.

> The ParaView team is pleased to announce the availability of the ParaView
> 3.12.0 Release Candidate 2 binaries for download on the ParaView
> (http://paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.html). ParaView 3.12 can be
> considered as a bug-fix release with over 180 issues resolved. The detailed
> list can be found at http://www.paraview.org/Bug/changelog_page.php.
> With Python being one of the preferred means of interacting with ParaView,
> we've added support to create animation tracks that use Python scripts to
> build highly customized animations.
> Plugins support is one of the strong points of ParaView and with this
> release, we've made it easier to load deployed plugins on the server
> processes as well. All distributed plugins are now listed on the client as
> well as the server side.
> The release includes updates to LANL's streaming framework.
> The multiresolution streaming view now automatically adjusts resolution
> to match the projected image size. Also, VTK filters are now able to modify
> meta-information which means they can modify the data while still allowing
> the streaming framework to cull and prioritize pieces. An example is a new
> spherical warp filter that projects flat data onto the globe while correctly
> tracking piece bounding boxes.
> Also, there are updates to support users of the cosmology and windblade
> formats. For example the MaskPoints filter (used to place glyphs and in
> other places) was updated with new options that improve random sampling in
> parallel. Likewise VTK's Gaussian Splatter filter is now exposed in ParaView
> which makes it easy to visualize point set data with imaging filters. The
> cosmo and windblade readers have also been revised.
> This version includes some major changes under the covers. ParaView 3.12
> includes improvements to the underpinnings of ParaView ServerManager. The
> communication layer under the ParaView ServerManager was upgraded to
> minimize communication as well as making it easier to debug and trace
> messages being exchanged between client and server. We now use
> Google Protocol Buffers, for example, to exchange messages between client
> and server.
> In addition, there are several small but notable improvements included in
> this release for example, the views now use caching to avoid re-renders from
> repaints due to menus and dialogs popup up on the screen; volume rendering
> of uniform grids now supports shading; ability to enable specular highlights
> when using scalar coloring and others.
> The updated userguide can be accessed
> at: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Table_Of_Contents
> Or in PDF form
> at: http://paraview.org/files/v3.12/ParaView%20Users%20Guide%20v3.12.pdf
> The development team has adopted a git-workflow-based development process
> that is integrated with the ParaView Bug Tracker (http://paraview.org/Bug).
> The workflow enables us to track every change that goes into ParaView and
> maintain a stable repository.
