This is just the nightly build. On each line you have a different 
plateform which compile it's own subset of VTK (the major differences 
are within VTK/Rendering ). To make things simple if you are working on 
Win32 + VC60, just search Win32-vs60 in column 'Build Name', then on 
this line look if everything is green. If so you can update VTK from CVS.

There is an intermediate flag: 'ParaView-1-4' which is a pretty recent 
VTK version and this is more easy to use it than going through cvs. And 
it should contains all the recent bug fixes.

If you find v4.6, can you send me the bugs that have been corrected so 
that I can merge it in the current VTK 4.5, this will save me lot of time ;)
Ok, sorry, but for a while people have been speaking about 4.6 and 4.4 
was branch only a few months ago. So again the only intermediate 
tag/branch after 4.4.2 that contains the bug fixes you are looking for 
is 'ParaView-1-4'

I guess our provider black list yours.

You should have received an email saying why you couldn't reach me. 
Could you send it to me on: mathieu AT malaterre DOT com (there is a 
link somewhere in that mail where you can specify 'no I am not a spammer').

HTH,
