[Paraview] ANN: ParaView 3.98.1 is available for download

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Folks,

ParaView 3.98.1 is now available for download
((http://paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.php). This is a
bug-fix release, primarily intended to polish some of the new features
introduced in ParaView 3.98.0. The detailed list of issues addressed
by this release can be found on bug-tracker
(http://paraview.org/Bug/changelog_page.php).

Some of the major fixes are:

- Math-text in annotation: ParaView 3.98.0 introduced support to add
annotations with math-text. This release extends on that capability to
support math-text in several annotations including Text source, chart
titles, scalar bars. Simply use $<math-text>$as the text to use.
Anything within the $...$ symbols will be treated as math-text and
rendered using matplotlib.

- Rendering translucent geometries in Parallel: For certain datasets,
especially, those with a cell containing more than 512 points,
rendering translucent geometries would cause freezes and segfaults in
parallel. This issue has been addressed.

- This release also minimizes progress messages that had the potential
to clog MPI channels especially for large runs.

- Issues with OSX Mountain Lion: This release addresses the OSX
Mountain Lion runtime issue that seemed to be a side effect of the
number of libraries being loaded/linked.

As always, we look forward to your feedback (paraview.uservoice.com).
