[vtk-developers] heads up - vtk 8.1 branch is coming soon

[David Gobbi]

I have my patch that eliminates the "PythonD" libraries from all the
modules:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/3075

However, it might be best to delay it until VTK 9, since it requires
non-trivial changes to all third-party packages that rely on VTK's Python
wrapping tools.  For example, this is what is needed to make Paraview work
with the changes:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/merge_requests/1831/diffs

What's the long-term release plan?  Is 9.0 imminent, or are there going to
be more 8.x releases after 8.1?
