Is there a timeline of the releases?
i.e. how would you convert this:

vevision 1.7
date: 2009-04-03 12:38:37 -0400;  author: jeff;  state: Exp;  lines:
+11 -0;  commitid: Rtg2xKhOFRulGAIt;
ENH: Adding convenience Render() method to vtkRenderView

into a release number?

Leon - to answer your original question - I haven't heard any
disagreement of that you are simply using a version of VTK where these
functions were not yet defined :(

Thanks,

David
