[vtk-developers] ready to branch for 8.0.0?

[Hahn, Steven E.]

There are templated min, max, isinf, and isnan functions scattered around the VTK codebase. Is this a good time to replace the (slower?) functions in vtkMath.h that require a conversion to double?

    Dave,
    
    VTK 8.0.0 seems like a good target for some of the bigger API change
    merge requests that have been put off for a while Examples include:
    
    https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/1455
    https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/917
    
    If we are aspiring toward using semantic versioning [1], now would be
    the time to make such API changes. And document them nicely as well,
    of course.
    
    Thanks,
    Cory
